I am 100% serious about the handbag. If you are game, I will send you specifications and you can send a quote.
I think Uriah needs Hello Kitty duct tape.

Jodie - I'm going out this weekend and picking up some Hello Kitty duct tape. Maybe I'll wait til next weekend when the DD is actually home with us (not with gma/pa) and we'll go over and hook Uriah up with the MOST AWESOME horn decorations POSSIBLE! My DD has a crafty eye for these kinds of things...ESPECIALLY using tape and stringing string up between things!

Oh thanks so much Jodi! I am struggling with the bag I am working on now. Well, it's beautiful, the weaving part is done. Now I have to get out my sewing machine and actually make it into a bag. I am procrastinating because remember the last time I got out my sewing machine? (hint: sheep blankets)
So I'm taking a little break while I piece out things in my head of how I'm going to put it together without wrecking the weaving. So instead, I'm making up some batts for my etsy store. Need to restock!
As far as farm life goes, well let's just say I can't hardly tolerate living in Tim's world of CHAOS!

Well the bag is not finished. I haven't made much progress, but I have been weaving a strap for it. Slow going. I also have dyed a bunch of Marge's wool with pretty colors (blue for Jodi ) and dyed some Cormo. I've made a few more batts of pretty colors. I got some really good feedback from the lady who bought batts last week on my etsy store. That's great!
Yesterday Tim and I built a sheep shelter down by the creek for the Jacobs
WE constructed it with round fence posts and a metal roof that came off the old shed. Then we rewired all of the electrical wire on the new fencing that got rebuilt after the hurricane. He put a round hay bale down there and the sheep are ready to be shipped off! So today will involve worming everybody and moving everybody around. The Jacobs will move down the hill and the goat mommas and babies will move over to the area where the Jacobs were. Then the 3 stalls can be cleaned out and ready for lambing season! The "we'll figure it out" is getting figured out. I am happy about that! 
Okay, off to get dressed and ready for feedings!

We shipped the Jacobs off down to the creek yesterday after worming them and putting the external parasite stuff on them. They went merrily on their way, I think they were really glad to be out of the muddy barnyard. I was a little worried that the new Jacobs would have trouble following along, but they went just fine. They landed on the new "beach". Amazing how much sand there is down there after that hurricane. It looks really cool. There is some grass coming up but not much. But they have fresh water from the creek and a big round bale of hay and a shelter, so they have it made! Fluffy and Uriah and Lottie were all stotting around when they got down there. I think they were happy. Uriah and Fluffy went right down to the creek and drank some water. The new girls seemed pretty happy too. So there is Uriah and 7 bred Jacob ewes 
Lily is the first one due in March, then Fluffy and Star also in March. The others are due in May. Can't wait for those cute spotted Jacob babies
When I go down there today to visit, I will take a picture. And on my way, I'll take a pic of Kiko Joe and the gang, for StrawHat
Today Tim takes Ruth to her regular family her Dr. to get a letter of sanity written so we can get Power of Attorney. We have no idea how that is going to go. I am sure she will mess it up somehow and act all confused as to why she is there. In which case all deals are off and we will ever get the farm. Well, fate will have its way one way or the other. What's meant to be will be. She says she wants to change her will, but she will have to be mentally able to do it on her own. That is questionable at this point. But we'll see. I am neutral on it. It would be nice to be able to buy out the farm, but if not this one, something else will come along that might even be better!
Ok more fiber today. I finished the purse strap, but since I decided to make it short, I have to continue weaving the rest of the warp with something else. I am making a belt with my handspun yarn, and it is about 30" right now. I think I can finish it today!
Pics later of "Jacob Beach."

Ok...I'm ALSO looking forward to the spotted jacob lambies! Bon...we didn't get out to Bridge's place this weekend...the EVIL ONE was at gma/gpas and we were playing "social" with my DHs coworker and his buds. Then we drove about 2 hours to pick up our latest addition...Baby! Photos will follow! Making arrangements to swing by and bug Bridge though!
Oh Bridge...don't forget about the photos!
