TORI'S HOME!!!!!!

Introducing my NEW baby girl Trillogy's Magic Smoke Aka Tori!!!
She is Trillogy's Dream Finder's aka Dream full sister just a year younger. We picked her up last night. I tried to keep them in order but, it isn't fully. This pic was taken this morning.
We are at Lazy H Ranch picking up Tori but, I HAD to see the new babies there and of coarse their moms. There is 6 baby shetlands there this year.


Momma and baby. She's soooo cute!


Tori in the trailer. I took this once we stopped to get gas. I had to go into the trailer to help settle her down. She hasn't been in trailers much so she was scared. We had quite the adventure with her!! LOL~~ She is starting to get to know me tho which is great.
More babies at the ranch and moms
Baby!




Tori this morning when we opened the top part of the door. I took some pics. Not sure how last night went but, no blood!! Abby Rose was the one that was kicking last night!

Nate grabbed the camera as I couldn't get a full pic and ended up getting me in the picture also. Oh well she is my baby girl!

I took this one and she wasn't sure about me backing away from her!!



Here they all are running together. I had DH make them run so I could see her in action. Abby Rose is being a hog. Tori wants soooo baddly to be right with them but, Abby is sticking like glue to Dream and those two walk super close together. So they are not all friends YET. It will take a couple days and that. I know they will all get along well.


This is about how they are at all times right now! LOL




I did get the two sisters together running tho and thought this was a cute picture!










All three of them eatting. See how Tori is a little bit back from the others? Poor girl but, I know it will get better.
Tori and Dream. Tori is more grayish. Dream is darker by far but, they look great together. Boy does Tori remind me of Dream when we first got her! She will come around. She has some work to do but, that is the fun part. I LOVE training!!




Hope you enjoyed seeing my new baby girl and of coarse Dream and Abby. Can NEVER leave them out!

Horse Update!

Close up of Abby Rose grabbing the grass! They just got let out into their larger area today and boy do they LOVE it as we let the grass grow longer!! Abby is not as piggish as my Dream girl is. LOL~~ Her mouth fulls are never as large. She's danty.
Here is a close up of Dream being a pig thinking the grass is going to go away so she has to take as much as possible into her mouth! LOL
See the fence with the flags? That is their border as its electric fence. They don't even know how big of an area they have yet as they are to busy eatting. We had to chace them to make them run more to see how much they do have!

The lighter area is SAND as they ate all the grass in their old area. They were not sure of the new area at first as the posts are still there so they thought the wire was also. We had to lead them into it! LOL~~ We will pull the posts soon.




Hubby TRYING to get them to run into the new area! LOL~~







I tried to get it in order but, not to sure now! LOL~~ Their enclosure is now about an acre or more! I will try to get a BIG picture of it sometime. You can kinda get a hint of it once I load the pics with the girls in it!







Hubby and his Spinning wheel!

Roving from Etsy shop Copperpot. There roving is WONDERFUL and I WILL buy more soon!

this wild berries roving we bought at a LYS in Roberts, WI. Its lovely and Nate has actually started another bobin of it and it making that one even thinner to my request!

Both bobins are full on the first rovings he did on his new wheel which is an ashford.



Here is the second day or so of spinning. After much cussing and calling some friends for HELP he got the hang of it!! Thankfully we have met some great new friends here in WI. He is now really good at it and fast. He troubleshoots better also. I'm very proud and can't wait to knit with this new yarn! I have made requests of how I'd like it spun as to thick or thin or a little of both. I will keep up on the updates hopefully better. I'm really behind and is why there are so many posts today! LOL







Nate's drop Spinning!!

We bought a Drop Spindal at the Harvest Festival and Nate did do well at it but, he really wanted a wheel. It did help him learn how to draft the roving tho. A friend did have a wheel for sale and I did buy it for him. But, here is him with the drop spindal and the lovely yarn he made with it. Sorry for the topless pic of him. Its the only one I got of him actually doing it!
