Thank you for your comments on last Friday's post. New England is feeling less winter-bound the past few days. It will be weeks before we can see the grass or buds on the trees here, but reading about the signs of spring in other parts is a good balm for the winter soul. Thanks for sharing your thoughts (and for so generously spreading the word, you guys are great).
Congrats to Ellen who commented on 2/14/11 at 9:57 am.
Ellen, please contact me through my website with your address so I can mail your prize:
4 skeins Foxfire Fiber's Wool Alpaca Twist in Natural
and a copy of my book:
Teach Yourself Visually Hand-Dyeing (Wiley Publishing)
so you can dye them any color you like.
My rams look like they're ready for a rugby match in their green and tan coats. They'll be so happy when the snow drifts melt and they can get to play.
Mike and I managed a warm-weather escape for a few days earlier this week to Florida. The winter break was much needed and way too short. But sunshine on my back and sand between my toes felt pretty darn good.
If you are having a yarn shortage or are in the mood to browse, I've posted some new listings on Foxfire Fiber's Winter Tag Sale Etsy Shop. Check out some great deals on Cormo blend yarns & more.
Happy Friday!
The rugby scrum looks snazzy! Glad you were able to relax on the beach for a few days!

Yea Ellen! congrats!
I bet Florida did feel wonderful!
those little guys and gals look like they are ready for spring - more buds peaking out - it will work it's way up to your neck of the woods soon!!

I Love the icicles pictured in barn, they would make great ewe-ni-corn head pieces! (I like making snow sheep) but alas , not anywhere near zero degrees here in Saskatchewan Canada, which is required for snow to stick together. Maybe next month.
Happy melt season to you! Cute jackets on the sheep! They could use squareish rugby numbers.

Love the jackets, and am even more excited when I think about the loveliness *under* the jackets. It'll be springtime and shearing time before you know it. :)

I just found your blog by googling "Ewe Tube" because I'm getting ready to install a barn cam to catch lambing. :-) I came upon a post from last spring when you talked about your barn cam. Loving your blog so far, especially all the lovely sheep pics. :-)
