Busy busy days

Well it was a busy weekend. The wife and I skirted a whole lot of fleece this past weekend. Though we are not sure that we are not being much pickier about our skirting process than others. We are also willing to admit that we are likely slower than people who have been through 100s of fleeces too. I would like to thank Anita over at Windswept Farms for allowing us to go through a couple of the fleeces they had sitting around.

While I'm on the note of fleece, Michelle attended a needle felting class at Windswept Farm this weekend and seemed to have a good time. She has been showing the process to the kids and I as well. We've had mixed success but it is a learning process. We would really like to get to go to a wet felting class as our first attempt at wet felting came out differently than we expected.

Lastly this weekend was finally our prep for winter weekend. I have put up some blockades using wood and straw to help block out some wind in an area of the barn for our boys. We also put down a nice amount of straw for them to lay on to keep cozy. I have plent of extra incase we want to add more. I was happy to find my neighbor had plent of straw and lives right accross the street from me. So it made life a bunch easier. Lastly we changed to the heated bucket and got that plugged in.
