Sheepy tales
Before I left for Vancouver, my friend Wendy Spin and I went up to Loraine Powell's sheep and goat farm for the day for some spinning fun with the La Mesa Spinners. Of course I had to come home with a few fleeces. Oh man. Look at this baby. She is a baby lincoln. Not old enough to shear yet. Soooo cute.
Here is mommy
She had some HUGE ears. I didn't know sheep looked so bony and small under all that fleece.
Lorainne got out several fleeces and put them on the skirting table. After skirting off an amazing amount of what I thought might have been good stuff, I
I bought this fleece. And, I had all the ladies bless it in any way they knew how. As you can see, they were more than happy to do it.
As if that wern't enough of buying stuff. I ordered this Vesper sock yarn and got it while away. Totally FUN to open up great packages when I got home.
I'd post the link, but for some reason I can't find it right now. Shoot. Go Google it if you want!
Anyway, she sent me this, with this note on it. What? Is someone talking to her about me? We'll if so, they know me very well.... 
And, these cute buttons were on one of the skeins. Oh yeah baby. 
On the knitting front, I am still plugging away in the abyss that is known as stockinette on my top down raglin. Takin' FREAKIN' FOREVER!!!!
Time for some dying. I've got a few things up my sleeve. HaHa
Thanks for the comments on my scrapbook page. My husband liked it too!
Have a GREAT weekend!

Ja, I still have to do a post about it. I had total non-buyers remorse looking at the pics of your lovely Lincoln. I really should have snagged some. Later, when I have some room...

Don't worry Spaaz, I KNOW she has a ton more fleeces under that tarp we were snoopin' under. Give her a call!

Love the baby sheep photo! So fricken cute! And does anyone else think sheared sheep look like hornless goats?

I got my sheep delivered on Sunday. So sweet. I named the Mama Lincoln "Sophie" and her baby "Daisey May" The little columbia is "Freckles" I really am going to enjoy having my "knitting and spinning on the hoof" See ya
