Our homesteading is coming along
Our next step in homesteading is now complete.
We now have chickens! Six lovely little chicks and they are so adorable.
And soon to be productive I hope - we need eggs from this little ones.
But for now they are just fun to watch, and feed, and water, and you know. But it is great.
Hubby did a wonderful job on the chicken house.
He built it from scratch (grin)
It turned out just super.
And the new chicks are now inside and loving their new home.
And I am very proud of him - awesome job Hubby!
The puppy saga has continued. We sold our little chocolate lady this weekend. She went to a wonderful home and will be really loved there. We were so tickled to see Libby and Clarence get her as we know that she will be loved. We still have our two little apricot boys. They have discovered their barker this week so they have been trying it out at every opportunity. It is so cute to watch them bark at the older dogs - see what we can do now! But they soon tire and it is nap time for them. Is this not an angel?
I have been working on my panels for CFAC. I have completed four now and so I just have 16 more to go. I have not been able to work on them as often as I would like to as this week has been really busy but hopefully I can accomplish more next week.
I am still working on my loomed prayer shawl. I got a few more inches completed this week. So that is good progress.
I did complete my loomed gift bag. I used some homespun yarn and felted in it in the washer. But I was not too pleased with the felting. Usually my front load washer does well but this time the felting was not as tight as I like it. I believe next time I will felt it by hand.
I also got about 100 fleece blankets done for TTT. I am pleased with that accomplishment however I need to get 100 more done before the end of the month. We need about 200 to make the deliveries for this month. But I still have a couple of weeks to get them done in so it should go well.
Well, I guess that is my update for this week. Have a happy knitting week all!
