First Baby of 2012
Moorit, mouflin, polled ram lamb, 3/4 Icelandic. Looking at his colour I wish he was Purebred.
Born March 31st, 2012.


Had a sale running at Etsy and Artfire to celebrate first lamb. But time between first and 2nd was so short I never even got to list it here. Tweeted it though at @fireandfluff and posted it on the facebook page. Maybe next year it will be a longer sale!



And here is lamb 3. His sister beat him out by 20 minutes.
He is a Purebred Icelandic, Will be horned, just look at those buds on his head!


And here is lamb #2. She is still very shy. Hides behind Mom and brother every chance she gets.
White like her sibling, she will be polled. No buds of any kind here.



Other events round here. We have the wiring in the shop adjusted to feed single phase to 3 phase to run the card. Still awaiting a final motor to run the worker rollers. Beginning to feel alot like Rome round here, Definitely not built in a day, but usually worth the wait.

Latest beading adventure has been toying with stitch markers. As a sock knitter they are handy to have and others have noticed them as well.
Here is the only set that has made into any of the on line shops.

There will be more with other patterns on the beads with pricing depending on the complexity of the beads used. This set of 6 which will fit a needle up to 4mm in diameter  and is priced at $24.

Watch for us at THE GATHERING in Port Hope on April 14th, 2012.
We won't have any lambs with us, but there will be lots of fibres,
 yarns, wheels, beads and other goodies.
