BFL Quilt

I made this quilt for the BFL National show while I was keeping off my leg. The pastel side pictures some of the sires from the UK I've used here at Potosi while the "cheeky American" side pictures the American lambs from these sires. It was a fun project but I discovered there no catagory in which to enter it. Doesn't pay to think out of the box I guess. I might enter it at MD next week if I get the binding on in time.

Molly's Starburst Mirror

I decided Molly needed one of these in her house when I found a pile of old molding in the barn. I had fun making it while I was not suppose to be on the broken leg the doctors didn't think was broken!Hope Molly has a wall in her house for it since all we have on the walls here are sheep paintings and prints!

Almost Finished

Almost finished finding Shetland lambs. anna surprized me with twin rams on Tuesday. she was in the barn with the tiny brown one only when I returned from Lancaster. I was certain there had to be another lamb somewhere. Sure enough, when I entered the empty hay shed a little baa called to me from under the water tank. He's the same color as the straw and hay and much bigger than his brother. His tummy was full but I am not sure how he got there so far from mom. Guess I'll never know. The reunion was funny. Mom spent minutes checking him out for damage. So glad I found him!

Heddon Valley F2 Lambs

Our other sire this year was a Heddon Valley F1 ram from Heather Landin. his lambs are beautiful. Although still young they are some of the nicest lambs we've had here in Potosi. I am enjoying watching them mature with style.

Mossvale F2 Lambs

My lambs this year are big and heavy with lots of color. Here are a few sired by my F1 Mossvale Masterplan ram.

Some Big Baby

This ram lamb was big at birth but at 4 weeks he is huge. Poor Momma will be nursing him for a while too.

Camera Shy

Beautiful sunny day. Sam came over to help me get great pictures of my lambs for sale. Or so we thought. They knew something was afoot as soon as we entered the barnyard. Lambs dashed to the gate,escaping under and through it. Sam tried to catch and hold several budding models but they either sat down or set their legs at strange angles in protest. Cornered they climbed on top of each other to avoid the lense. One little ewe tried to squeeze through a space in the gate into the ram pen with the encouragement of the yearling rams. I had to laugh since that's the way I feel when someone come at me with a camera.
