We've made it through another shearing season and, as usual, they all look fabulous, healthy and happy. It's great starting over each year and watching how they change and "grow" as the year moves on. Plus we have an entire stash of fresh fleeces!!! Exciting!!
I'd like to share this photo of our log house underneath the blooming dogwood. Spring is my all-time favorite season and it's entirely too short.
Let's see, I've started a new project on my floor loom. I'm using up yarn (cotton/acrylic blend perhaps?) and making some colorful placements as my next practice pieces. I used the yarn in it's "white" state for the warp, and dyed the 4 remaining quarters in yellow, orange, blue and green. I'm about 1/4 into my 2nd matt and they are looking very cheery with fringe around each side. I'll be sure to include pics of the loom all dressed up, and the finished projects soon.
We've only had our first cria so far, a 21# baby boy to Mohana. He gave his mom quite a time during birth and we've decided to name him Spirit because he sure showed his during the rigamarole of birth! Talk soon ... Liz
