Lets see, I finished the quilt top for my brothers quilt Wednesday night and now just have to figure out what I'm gonna do for the backing for both quilts. I may see what scraps I have left and do a Gee's Bend quilt for him too. It was pretty easy to put together.
I'm happy with the "house...
I can't believe that lady was so freakin rude! I know people are passionate about stuff but dang...you can be passionate without being obnoxious. We like backyard breeders that are responsible. We bred our chocolate lab to our black lab and had a beautiful litter of registered puppies but we...
Yeah, my son is a milk junkie so we started looking into raw milk sources and we started looking at goats versus cows and at the time we definitely didn't have space for a milk cow at our old house but it was a perfect fit for goats. We went with nigis because they could handle smaller spaces...
We have nigerian dwarf goats because of space requirements.
If we do get into cows, we are looking at Dexters. Smaller, less feed requirements, easy to handle, good for meat/milk, pretty hardy in weather, finish well on grass, supposedly really great temperaments too.
I would love to start a...
Hey wanda, I just thought of something. There is a website for nigerian dwarf goat owners. Check and see if anyone has bucks for breeding near you.
www.nigeriandwarfgoats.ning.com They have a really good forum and you may be able to find someone close by, it's worth a shot!
I hate that we can't get raw milk anywhere....I'm lucky that I have a good breeder for my goats and even though I have to drive 1 1/2 hours to get the does there, she's very accomodating. I can't believe that no one will let you breed your girls....that sucks. I'm happy you were able to find...
Moolie, I do the same thing!
My favorite thing my mom makes is deer barbeque...her recipe rocks! With my granny's cooking I am a sucker for fried apple pies and her buttermilk biscuits....now that I am GF I have to figure out how to make them. My daughter has granny wrapped around her little...
Thanks Rathbone!
Yesterday I did end up going hunting but had only one small doe or button buck, couldn't quite tell, circle me for an hour. :rolleyes: I think I will try to go this evening again if all goes well but I'll sit in a different stand. We are supposed to go to Chad's cousin's house...
Well, hey there Gina....I'd have answered you sooner but I've been knee deep in deer meat for the last 2 1/2 hours putting up the 2 does Chad got Saturday.
We let everything chill in the fridge since Saturday and today I ended up with 21 lbs of ground meat, a small shoulder roast, the...
Dozer is adorable!!!!
He sounds like he'll probably get over that whining stuff with time...poor guy is just traumatized. We have issues with Frawg being in the crate....she hates it but she still has enough puppy in her at 8 months that if I leave her loose in the house during the day she'll...
Well, here's the purse, you can see the quilting on the bottom, the entire purse is quilted except for the flap closure cause I've found that if I put batting in it it just doesn't stay closed as well. I made it from fabric I had leftover from my daughter's apron.
And here's the quilt...
I can't believe anyone has read my entire journal....:P Thanks Tractorgirl!
Well, we had a good weekend with Granny and Papa. We watched the show Ridiculousness on MTV with them and I thought we all were gonna laugh our freakin butts off! If you have never watched it, look for it...it's like...
Tyler came in and said "mommy, that meadow vole must be nocturnal cause I heard him trying to get out of that box all night long....just digging digging digging all night long"
He was so cute. :lol:
Yesterday was rough...I went out and got the car loaded up and got lunch packed and everything...
:hugs Oh honey, I keep trying to tell myself that I need to do as much with my kids as possible cause someday I won't be here for them. So when my 6 yr old says, "mommy, I'm afraid of the dark can you sleep with me for a while" I don't say no. I know that they will be too old for that soon and...
