Ooooh la la! I have pet Malabrigo. I have seen it, touched it, smelled it, admired it, and yearned for some of my own. But I have resisted. Now, thanks to my “One Skein Secret Pal”:http://www.oneskein.com/secretpal.asp I have some of my very own!! THANK YOU Secret Pal!

And that was just the center-piece surround by several other goodies, including: a cute card, eucalan samples, stitchmarkers, and some patterns!

On the farm, my wonderful husband finished fencing off the final pasture section. So today we did the big seperation. We seperated the sheep into rams, ewes, and lambs. Thus the weaning begins. The poor little things were trying so hard to get through the fence – charging it, butting it, sticking their heads through and pushing for all they had – to no avail. It was pretty sad, but when it’s time, it’s time, I guess.
