Getting Busy in the Studio



Life has slowed down some...lambs are growing and many are being sold soon.  I am also selling a few of my ewes so that I can get my life slowed down and I can enjoy working with the wool fiber again.  I started cleaning upstairs this last week and actually cut out a sheep coat...yes, I am going to put coats on a few of my sheep this winter before we start feeding hay. 




This is some of my finds from this summer.  The mittens and gloves are very old and I hope to make a pattern so I can make a new pair out of my own wool.




I have tried to establish different work areas in my studio.  I am blessed with so many toys.




Mice under construction!




I enjoy knitting with beads.  This is my collection of beads for knitting.  Eye candy!




I have come across a few knitting containers this summer after Angie made me the beautiful one that she gave me for a gift.





This is my painting and stamping table. 
I made a sheep coat for one of the sheep today...10-20 more to go...we will see.
I also plan to make a new sign for the front of the house...The Spinning C Fiber Farm...with a sheep on it and taking cues from the barns in Iowa, I think I will make the background like a big quilt block...probably one that is spinning....

I now have a new Cheviot Ram...Sammy is a cute guy and his girls will be the shetland girls.  I will get some pictures soon. 

We have chances for rain on Wednesday and the temps dropping.  Hopefully we will get a good soaking rain.
