Monday Slow Wool & Projects

This is how the morning is beginning here at the sunrise of the week. The bunny (who has been absent from this blog FAR TOO long) has been out checking out the little bunny yard that I've constructed for him outside. This is basically a dog exercise yard that can be moved around, which is helpful because Harper does not like heat and sunlight. As you can see he is in Large Bunny mode and about ready to be sheared again. He produces about 8 ounces each shearing which happens about three times a year. Harper is a Satin Angora.

Slow wool - also know as clean fleece ready to be combed. This is part of the combing for this week. A super nice Corriedale that won the NM State Fair Blue Ribbon. From Westfarthing Farm in Edgewood, NM. The sheep is named Tim McGraw........ how do country singers feel about having sheep named after them? Is it because you like the singer or because you don't?????

This last project is the beginning of the knitting needles we sell that are size 50. I paint the tops and this being so close to Easter a friend asked me to paint some wooden eggs he made. That is all on the docket too....

Hope you all have a grand week.
