2010 Kids

Some sad news

Kira had a miscarriage/abortion. Don't know exactly which you call it. The doc came out and checked her yesterday and said the baby was gone. So sad, she is such a sweet girl and I was so excited for our first goat to be born on the farm. We will just have to look forward to new ones in April, which is when the next ones will be due. Bummer...

Kira is finally bagging up!

That means she's going to kid soon....

Pics of the dryer balls

Here is a pic of some of our Felted Dryer Balls. They are a great new addition to our Ranch Store, Pearl's Marketplace. Felted dryer balls are an all natural alternative to dryer sheets (ugh, lots of chemicals). They are eco friendly, reusable and chemical free. All our balls are made with alpaca and llama which is naturally hypo allergenic. No dyes are used either. Saves you money by drying clothes 20-50% faster by lifting and separating clothes while reducing static and softening fabrics. (Drying time saving based on using 3-4 balls and depends on load size) No more chemical residue that makes towels and diapers less absorbant!

Twin Baby Boys

rd
Born January 17, 2010, our first kids of the year! Darlene had 1 brown and one brown/red boys yesterday afternoon. Darlene, recently purchased is still in Austin, TX waiting for us to pick her up along with Deidre and Dean. Deidre has to deliver too before we can pick them up. Dean is our first buck. I'm so excited but I wish I could be in Texas with them, ugggh.

These are Darlene’s boys born on January 17, 2010. 

Roc Days and Dryer Balls

Went to Roc Days in Baton Rouge this weekend. Our vendor booth did well and the biggest hit was our new item "dryer balls". Dryer balls are a green alternative to dryer sheets that will actually reduce drying time, cut down on static and soften your fabrics gently. We sold out right after the show started. Guess what I'm making this weekend???? I'll post a picture soon.

The trip was fun and we made 2 stops at the Mississippi Craftsman Guild building & giftshop. Wow that is a beautiful place full of wonderful things.

Burrrr It's really cold in Mississippi today

Happy New Year everyone, I'm going to start out trying to do this blog thing! I am busy this week getting ready for Roc Days in Baton Rouge. My hands are really chapped, not from the cold but from the hot water I use for felting. Hopefully I will sell lots of felted soaps, felted jewelry and yarns this weekend.

Also Tina is busy making some changes to the website so go and check it out.

BIG Thanks to Tina!

Rainy day in Mississippi

We have 2 great pyrenees dogs. Supposed to be our livestock guardian dogs. At this point they are more interested in digging out of the area they are supposed to be guarding! Does anyone know more about how to keep these guys in. My husband is about to strangle them, although this would be impossible since they weigh almost as much as he does. The picture on the front page is of one of them this summer. They will be a year old in January. Today they are caked in mud. What's amazing though is after the rain stops and the mud dries up they go back to being pure white and beautiful.
