Bridgemoof--Sheep & Wool festival

[Southern by choice]

I really get the shelter thing! We have enough shelters for everyone but they all needed to be bigger and a little more "solid". I want to make sure I have extra places for kidding. We have 2 kikos and 1 ND due within days of each other. I'm sure, like you, we will be doing "musical shelters " with the goats!

Do you still have the other pig?

What did you end up using on the sheep?

Oh I still have Taco, the big pig, and Blossom...who is now running around he farm trying to find playmates! She's just so adorable, but is having a hard time making friends. The sheep in the back are still terrified and run away form her. She thinks it's fun to chase them. The Jacobs ram her with her horns. Inkabod, our dog, tried to attack her yesterday.

But today...today? I think she found a buddy:

Spot was nuzzling her rear end and she was mesmerized, she loved it! He kept gently putting his mouth on her. Then he put her whole leg in his mouth and lifted her up a little. It was so funny, I wasn't sure if she was safe or not, but I just couldn't intercede, it was so cute! Then Tim came in and told me she was chasing Spot and Woody, the other horse around the coral trying to get their tails. They actually were all having fun! But if one accidentally steps on her, that won't be so good.

Oh on the sheep we used that Ultra Boss stuff that Remuda recommended. I am praying it works. Otherwise, Tim said when people ask how the wool business is going I can reply "Lousy." Get it?

I am on the HOMESTRETCH with my weaving you guys! I am about 10 inches from the END! I have work to do today and I hope it doesn't prevent me from finishing my table runner! I'm so excited, I can't wait to do another project. I'm not sure what my next one will be, but I will use some handspun and it will be SMALLER, whatever it is.

more PHOTOS!!!! Lots of photos!
Oh...and don't forget the matching napkins to go with your new table runner!

 

[Bridgemoof]

Ahhhhh! The homestretch is going a little slower than I expected. When I unrolled it so only the yarns that were tied to the end rod, it got a little wanky. So I had to retie each end to keep it untangled. I am trying to get 10.5" of the red weave on the end to match the other side, but not sure if I can make it. Well, I've learned a lot form my experience.

Anyways, here's the picture...so close.....see all the cloth wrapped around the front rod? I can't wait to unravel it and see the whole thing stretched out!

Oh, and you can FORGET the matching napkins coco! Pfffttt!
