A perfect landing! Now I own a Gelding..

A friend offered me a field for pony on the other side of town. It was a beautiful day for a walk.

This one's packed up and ready to ship.

It took me all afternoon. Her fleece is really beautiful.

I know it's not right, there's a lot to adjust, but I had to try it out. Pony didn't care, he just wanted to go down the road. Too much fun!!

It's all the way down near LA but I might have a ride for it..
I love it.

Rainy day pony project: making a sled for pony to drag. It's time.

Vienna kidded about a week early this morning. The other twin is fine ( both does) but I found this tiny thing in the back of the shed still wet and quite cold; mom hadn't even cleaned her off.

My friend caught us going down the road yesterday..

The sheep have come out on to the road and are doing a great job of mowing.

Came via Fed Ex yesterday in the middle of a deluge. It smells sooo good. Now I need a hole punch as it's a bit too big.

The neighbors llama was loose when I went by this morning. When I came back, the whole herd of alpacas had joined him, but by the time I went back with my camera they were all gone. This seems to happen often so I will probably get another opportunity.

I just got this outfit in the mail today and gave it a test run.. It went great!
I am officially a horse dresser..
FUN WITH PONIES!!

Alpines and does...a good start to the year.

First freshening 2 year old is definitely going to kid today. Finally!

Am I dreaming? A sunny windless day, a fun horse, and the beach. I had a great day today..

A ram and a ewe lamb!

My ram has a white spot on the side of his neck

So for the past few days I have been working with his neck wool, and sorting out that white as much as I could. I spun some and made a swatch ( right) then blended the rest with some Angora from Covelo for the rest. The brown fleece is the rest of his neck wool..

Finally sheared! Hello there!

But I found it.
Moles.
Photo a day in 2012

I managed to warp this loom and get about 2' weaved ( woven?) in one day. It's coming out well so far. Handspun wool.

I went to look at Border Collie puppies today. The smiley dog on the left is the sire..

hoppers is wearing fingernail polish- bright red fingernail polish- so that she keeps her germy fingers out of her mouth and away from her NEW LUNGS!! She's new and improved but still looks pretty much the same after her adventure.

Rainy days here so I am running the scanner. From the recently discovered baby book archives

When out shopping last week I saw this pile of loom pieces. What I wanted out of it were 2 reeds that would work on my loom. What they were asking for it was less than the cost of those 2 reeds. Now I get to untangle it and see if there's anything worth salvaging in there. It's 40" wide, counterbalance. It also came with all sorts of goodies, like that lap loom there, a tension box, a temple stretcher, etc.

Finished Ted's sweater just in time . Was sewing up seams at 2 this morning. And it seems to fit.

Merry Christmas everyone
