Title: Bamboo Sockyarn!
Finally I have managed to upload some more sockyarns!!!
We have been having a lot of trouble with our sattelite broadband internet.
Finally,....... they had to send someone up to the satellite and turn the switch back on!!!!
Apparently it was a sattelite problem!!
Hopefully it will be good for the next few days, so that I can add more yarn.
Have added some of the Wool/Bamboo/Nylon sockyarn, it is very soft and silky to handle, and I think it will be great for Summer sock knitting, and wearing!
Nearly forgot to mentin that I will be away for the first week of the school holidays, from the 5th July - 13th July. I hope this doesn't inconvenience anyone, I will post any orders off on Monday the 14th July.
Date: 6/30/2008
Title: More yarn in!!
Well I have finally found the problem with my SLOW computer!!!
Have added a couple more hand-dyed yarns, and 1 more EL Fleece.
Will be adding a lot more hand-dyed sock yarns in the next few days.
We now have 12 lambs, fit and well!! Very cute too!!!
Date: 6/22/2008
Title: Lambs!!!!
We had 2 sets of twin lambs born yesterday, and another 2 sets of twins today!!
Very cute, all EL X. Harvey has been a busy boy!!!!! We didn't think we would have any til at least the end of June- mid July.
We brought all the merino and EL ewes in closer to the house today so we could keep a better eye on them. I know we have the alpacas, but the Wedge Tailed Eagles are also around!!! Don't want to lose any lambs!!
These lambs are all white as the ram(Harvey) is white.
So it's all very exciting!!!
Date: 6/18/2008
Title: New Dyed Fleece
The internet was so slow last night, that I didn't get to add the new fleeces to the store!! But I have added them today, as well as a new yarn.
Changed the coats on some of the sheep today, some of them look nearly ready to shear now!!!! I'm sure they have longer fleece than last year!!!!
Some of the Merino ewes look nearly ready to lamb, the earliest we could possibly expect lambs is tomorrow!!!! So will have to check the sheep twice daily from now on, it's been so cold, we don't want to lose any lambs.
Date: 6/17/2008
Title: Joyce visits!!!
Today my friend Joyce came and we had a great day dyeing fleece, yarn and quilting fabrics!!
The weather was pretty miserable, cold and windy, but with a yummy hot pumpkin soup, and homemade bread, for lunch we battled on!!!
I will have 2 new lots of EL dyed fleece to put in the store tomorrow, and some hand-dyed 8 ply yarn.
Date: 6/5/2008
Title: Rain!!!
Well, the rain has been, all 3mm of it!!!! at least it looks damp and miserable!!!
Hopefully a bit more is on it's way here next week. It has been cold and damp.
My yarn is taking it's time drying, so I have been unable to list it yet!!! I am hoping that it will be done by tonight!!
I have listed another of the white coated FinnX fleeces.
Date: 6/4/2008
Title: Dyed Yarn Today!
I had a great day in my workroom dyeing yarn today, and also more EL fleece.
It should all be ready for me to put in the store tomorrow evening!!!
A few different yarns, some 4 ply sock-yarn, 8ply Alpaca, and a wool/mohair blend 8ply yarn. Very pleased with it all!
The EL fleece is always so lovely to work with and look at, lots of lustre, it's such a pleasure to dye!!!
I hope to get some more dyeing done tomorrow, as I will be home nearly all day again!! Wonderful!!
The weather is not very pleasant though, overcast, cold!!! It would be great to get some decent rain!!!
Date: 6/1/2008
Title: NEW FLEECES
Well I have been a bit slack about updating this blog.....life seems to be always busy!!!!
The boys have finished seeding and are now busy sowing saltbush seeds in one of the paddocks. Maybe in a few years it will be feed for my sheep!!!!!
I have listed a few more English Leicester fleeces today.
Also listed some silk caps a week ago, but didn't get a chance to update the blog!!!
Beautiful weather here at the moment, nice sunny days, very cool nights, not much wind!!! Great for solar power, not so good for growing crops!!! We could really do with some rain!!
Date: 5/15/2008
Title: Alpaca and Silk caps.
Hope you all had a lovely Mother's day last weekend. As you can see from the fact that I haven't added anything for the last week, I had a lovely family weekend!!!
But, I have been busy over the last few days and have added some lovely Dyed Alpaca, and some of the silk caps that I have been busy experimenting with.
I have some beautiful hand-dyed sock yarn awaiting re-skeining, and then I will have that ready to put in store as well, hopefully tomorrow.
Date: 5/7/2008
Title: Home Today!
Wel it's always seems so busy here!!! On monday we shore our alpacas, very interesting experience!!! Ian has shorn plenty of sheep before, but the alpacas were a first for him!!! All went well, until we brought them into the shed, then the spitting was rapid-fire!!!!!! They looked funny before shearing, (as alpacas always do) but they looked even funnier after shearing!!!!
We have them in the sheds still so theyhave a bit of shelter for a couple weeks before we put them back with the sheep.
I hope to do some more dyeing today, whilst home. So will have a few more items in the store over the weekend. Have some silk to do today!
The crops are starting to poke out of the ground!! A bit more rain would be nice though!!!
Date: 4/26/2008
Title: We have NO dust today!!
Well what do you know! It rained last night!!!!!! We had about 9mm of rain!!!
No dust today, and it's great!!! I think winter is finally putting in an appearance!!!
The kids are off getting firewood, and I have one lot of yarn in the dyepot, and another ready to go.
But I am mending horse rugs today, so won't get much done with the wool today!
Not to worry, I added a few more lots of dyed fleece yesterday, couldn't weigh them properly as they were still damp, so have underestimated just to be safe.
Better go mending!! Might do some sheep coats whilst I am out there!!
Date: 4/24/2008
Title: Life's little Dramas!!!
Well I didn't manage to get back to upload anything yesterday!
Firstly I had a few problems with the sattelite internet service dropping out all the time! Then last night as I settled in to the computer, the next door farm had a fire on their property. The men all headed out to do their bit, and you could see the flames clearly!
Apparently a Traveller rang 000, because they could see a farm on fire, we live right on the Highway from Adelaide-Perth.
It turned out to be the next door neighbour burning off stubble!!
So with 4 Fire Trucks attending! it made for an interesting evening!
So here I am at last, at the computer!!
Date: 4/22/2008
Title: Working on the Alpaca
Well after a busy weekend, I am back and trying to get some more things on the store.
I have a few lovely alpaca fleeces that I have decided to put in the store. One is a lovely black, and the other a really luscious grey.
Hopefully tomorrow!
The dye pot is ready for tomorrow, and I will hopefully get some fleece done, as it sounds like there could be some miserable wintery weather coming this weekend.
But it was another beautiful day here!
Date: 4/15/2008
Title: More New Dyed Fleece!
It's been a bit hectic here today, but after all the busyness, I finally found time to get a few more items in the store!!!
Thought I'd try some of the Border Leicester X Merino for dyeing for a change!
Quite pleased with it, still working on a few more batches.
Date: 4/14/2008
Title: Corriedale fleeces instore today!
The new Corriedale fleeces are in store now. They are lovely and soft, and feel just beautiful.
I have also put in a few more of the wonderful English LeicesterXCorriedale fleeces. These are so easy to spin, no preparation, just spin straight from the bag! And they are all quite clean. The coated fleeces are just the best for spinning!
Gave the crutches away today, but still on a go slow!
Date: 4/13/2008
Title: New Fleece
I have addd a couple new dyed fleece items today.
Another EL, Sunset, and a few of the variegated BLM.
Am currently working on some Suffolk Merino X, for dyeing.
Bit cooler here today, 23C.
Unfortunately I am getting around on crutches for a couple days, so it's slowed me down a bit!!
Will have to knit instead!
Date: 4/10/2008
Title: More In Store!!
Well it rained last night, for about 2 minutes!!!! It is actually still trying to rain, and the the dust has settled a bit this morning.
The plants look like they have had a bit of a wash off, and are happier!
Max (the magpie) hasn't seen rain before, and is singing away, obviously enjoying himself. The horses went out the stables this morning feeling a bit frisky too!
And the dogs had to have their coats on, since they have been clipped.
I have put a couple more dyed fleeces in the store today, and another lovely yarn.
Date: 4/10/2008
Title: Still Cooking!
Didn't managed to get the dyed fleeces up today, it has been overcast, and dusty!!!! So had to leave them inside to dry. Should have them in the store by tomorrow night.
Staying home this weekend, I won't know myself!!!
Might be able to get some more done for the store!!
Date: 4/9/2008
Title: Blog up and running!!
Well I finally have something else on the store up and running.
It has been about 33C here for the last few days, no rain!!!
I have been busy dyeing more fleece, mostly EL.
I just love the way the English Leicester dyes.
I plan to have some more finished by tomorrow.
I see one of the EL girls has lost her rug, so will have to get them in to replace it.
Date: 4/3/2008
Title: New Fleeces in Today!
I got some more of the lovely English LeicesterXcorriedale fleeces in today. Will try to get them instore tomorrow.
Date: 3/23/2008
Title: HERE WE ARE
Well I think that I have finally managed to get the new store up and running. Not with out a few hiccups, in fact I am still working on a couple of them!!!
Big steep learning curve over the last few weeks. Luckily the kids are away over Easter, and I have been able to spend time playing with the website.
