Fun Friday!

The last 4 Fridays in a row, our church has been hosting a "Fun Friday" for the kids in our church.  Each week has a theme, and todays theme was "Noah's Ark".  They asked me to bring some animals so that the kids could touch them.

I packed up a couple of the goat kids and got some collars and leashes, and hoped for the best.  At first they were not sure they wanted to leave the safety of the carrier at all.

Tap Dancer was really not appreciating the new leash!

I felt as apprehensive as she did, I have to admit!

And Acrobat figured it was best to keep a low profile!






I thought that it might try picking them up and have them with me on a bench for the "kids with kids visits".  As soon as I did that, and sat down they got really quiet, and as each group came thru, they began to relax and even snooze.  The elementary girls group came first, followed by the elementary boys and then the 3-5 age group, (pictured below), and finally the little 2 year olds came out to pet the baby goats.

Everything went much smoother than expected!

I have been helping out each week with Fun Friday, so that is another thing that is cutting into my M-W-F weaving time.   I have been able to post a few pieces on my Etsy site, but not as much as I would like to.  Will life ever get back to normal?  Probably not, so we make the best of it, and enjoy the stuff that is put in front of us to do. 

By next week I will have a few pictures of some recent weaving, same old patterns but some new colors.

Until next week, Happy Weaving, Tina

Life on the farm

I was going to wait and post this tomorrow but I am too excited to wait. This is what we woke up to this morning! Aren't they just the cutest things? These are Nigerian Dwarf goats. The very first to be born here. They are so tiny! Emma is a great first time mom. She doesn't mind at all if we pick up her kids. The kids, on the other hand, don't like to be picked up and cry out for their mama. They have the tinest cries!!
