Wooly Washys....

An all natural scrubby to use in the shower and help exfoliate that "winter skin". It's been fun making my Wooly Washys....everyone is different! One thing is for sure, in the process of making these, my hands have never been cleaner!!!

Guess who's coming to Kindred Spirit Farm?

I need your help....your creative help!

Okay....I have been making felted soap bars....and having a blast! I have to get on the stick and do some more felted sheep for a Christmas Open House, too. BUT...in the meantime....what the heck do I call my soaps?? I need to come up with something very soon!!!
Here are a few suggestions:

Soap in a Coat
Ewenique Soap
Ewenique Sudz
Soap 4 Ewe

For some reason, either it doesn't knock my socks off or whatever, I can't seem to find the "right one". Now, my friend Sally came up with Flockin' Soap and I laughed my head off, but thought better of marketing it that way. ;0) She did have a very funny scenario for a commercial, though! So seriously...what are your ideas? Anyone out there with a good twist to scrubbable fleece for people? Or wooly soap?

I really haven't been just lazing around...honestly. It's been very busy here! Fall seems to bring alot of work, doesn't it? Mending fences....oh how I love that job! Ya, right! Then it's time to put the breeding groups together. How many times can YOU change your mind? I have changed my mind soooo many times this year! I don't know why, but I have! There are reasons for this one and reasons for that one....just too many options!
I promise to be better.....really! More pictures to follow!

Gulmogets.....

This is a breeding group that is going to be hard to wait on....Rosie on the left, Kiah on the right and Pippin peaking in the rear. The girls will be bred to RF Xander, a black ram who is as sweet as he is gorgeous. Xander sired some nice lambs this year and now we are hoping for some beauties out of this group, too. Kiah is the only one of these ewes who has lambed before so it is going to be REALLY exciting to see what both Rosie and Pippin produce. Kiah has produced consistently beautiful lambs. She is our Bonnie's mom and I'm still trying to figure out who Bonnie is going to be bred to this year! I think I have done the "Shetland Shuffle", with her, for a couple of weeks now!! Tucker? Thistle? Xander? The wait is on.....

This one's for Kathleen....

He's one of our "stragglers"....born in July. Looking good!

Fat Wooly ewes

Yup, that's Golden Rod in the background....hopefully it will be a new pasture area next year. In terms of NOW, that means more fencing. Is the fencing ever done? By the looks of the girls....no one is suffering from malnutrition!!

You looking at me?

Cappy with her ewe lamb, yet to be named....this is a photo by my friend Deirdre. I have a feeling the "little miss" will be joining Deirdre's flock, along with her new ram and the other girls, very soon. Or will it be the flecket ewe? Decisions....decisions.

Toots........

She's one of our favorite girls....our "plain brown wrapper" who has given us katmogets, gulmogets and now fleckets this year! She also is a sweet and friendly girl who is always there for a scritch.....but, especially if you have animal crackers in your pocket! Tootie is the ambassador for our Shetland sheep. She wags ger tail when petted and pretty much "sells herself"...that's how I got her. I went to see her lamb, that was for sale, and bought Tootie instead! Thanks for this picture Deirdre....I love it!

Coming soon to a pasture near you.....

Okay....so Percy is coming to MY pasture.....and I'm getting excited. Everytime a new sheep comes here, I feel like it's my birthday....without adding more numbers. Know what I mean?

With some of our lambs already gone or leaving soon, it's nice to have one coming to stay....and bring in some "new" blood, too.
