Every time I see one of those counter top roasters at the thrift store, I debate it. I always end up leaving it because I have enough stuff and it's hard to justify the space for something I'll use once per year. Of course, I wish I had one now. 🙄 Today has been busy and will remain busy. We're...

Lol, nvm. I just saw his thread.

Zeke?

I'll be curious to see what you name him.

The picture you shared looks like a very normal sheep to me, but maybe the angle isn't the best. They naturally have rounded sides because of the whole digestive process. Plus, winter is coming. Is this an older ewe or one that was around the same age as the ram?

I picked up the felt I needed for the backs today. Also got some floss for the next bookmark pattern. It's a copy of a famous painting so I wanted to make sure to get the exact floss color it called for so it looks right.

What a charming fellow 😍

I'm so glad you both enjoyed it. I posted the link kinda assuming no one would listen! 😊 It's a beautiful production! I think I will have to miss next Sunday's choir practice. We have a Thanksgiving church dinner to attend that day and I'm on the hook to cook and bring the turkey. I think the...

The guts are what makes sheep and goats disappointing to process. They look soooo fat until you gut them! I rendered some fat and let me tell you, the smell was not good. 🤮 I've made tallow and lard and the smell didn't bother me. This smelled like the lamb was standing in my kitchen with his...

Tomorrow I'm going shopping with a friend. One of the stops will be the craft store to buy some felt for the bookmark backs!

We got our first snow last night. 👎I love Christmas and pretty snow but I don't like to be cold. Breaking ice in the animal's water and making sure I have enough pairs of socks on is something I don't want to worry about yet. One thing I'm looking forward to this Christmas season is I've joined...

Excellent broodies are such an asset! 😍 is it unusual or typical for Sussex to go broody?

Stayed up way too late talking with my husband last night.

Thank you so much!!

Almost complete. I have to buy some steel gray floss to finish rafiki's face, otherwise it's done!

I'd love to hear how many lbs of meat you get off of one!

Finished Timon

Not everything can be black and white! I wouldn't have been able to part with her either, back wool or no. That's actually interesting about the back wool... I hadn't heard that. I mostly have katahdins but I do have a ewe who is mixed with Prarie sheep. Her daughter has back wool. It would...

I read about Ewenique in your journal. She's very special. 😍
