   Well we just increased our family by one!Yesterday we went to Grand Island and stoped at the SPCA and found Ginger there waiting for us to adopt her! She is a 7 year old Australian Shepard she is a red tri and I think she is wonderful. Just recently we had to put down a long time friend and member of our family due to very server allergies to fleas. Yes that is right Ellie was so allergic that she would chew her self raw and loss all her hair. Have you ever seen a bald border collie before it is not a pretty site at all. |

Hi everyone! I have posted 2 of my 11 fleeces from this years shearing. They are bothabout 6 pounds and have been skirted and scoured also picked. All this work has been done by hand I am selling them either by the pound or whole fleece which ever you prefer. they are both really soft and have a staple length of 4 inches. these are off our sheep that we raise on the farm. I am asking $25.00 a pound for they already picked not carded.Or you can buy it by the ounce for $2.50 an ounce already careded into roving.

 Here are the pictures are I promised I would post.The top one is where I had just finished winding on the warp. Doesn't look all nice and neat! I was so proud of myself and then I went to the next step where you are to bring it up and over the back beam. I had about 1/2 of the warp up and over when the middle sections started coming untaped from th stick they were placed on. Well lets say I had a few choice word to say rather loudly at the time it happened. this picture on the bottom is when I had most of tied up and was trying to untangle the mess. |

Hi everyone, I think fall is starting to arrive. For about thelast 4 days now when I get up to go help with chores andget Daniel ready for school it has been cool in themorning.Yeasterday it really felt like fall and when it is coolingthe morning I like to was my fleeces. I know it sounds funnybut in the summer time it is too hot to be working with hotwater and stand in the hot sun to wash fleeces. Especiallywhen the humidity is around 75% to 99% it just make for amiserable time to wash fleeces for me. |
