Mosquito Bunny
I finished this bunny and went out to get some good pictures of her and to my surprise there must have been a big hatching of mosquitoes. They were crazy insane and I couldn’t stand still enough to take a good picture for all the mosquitoes trying to bite me. They were all over my bunny as well, I had to slap them off of her too. 
The pictures turned out ok, except for the mosquito that wouldn’t leave her ear.
She is available to purchase in my Etsy shop.

Lambs arrive at the Bear Creek Ranch
- Marley’s first baby
Baby’s have been arriving at the Bear Creek Ranch and keeping me busy night and day. We have 6 little lambs so far this spring. If you can call it spring that is! We still have several feet of snow on the ground and it has been cold. It is snowing again right now in fact. I have kept the lambs in the barn so far, since their entire pen behind the barn has several feet of snow in it. The ewe’s have a little path through the snow going out to their bale feeder. We had the sheep sheered last week and they have been shivery cold ever since. I feel so sorry for them. I expected to warm up a little faster than this! We like to have them sheared before lambing as it makes it easier for the lambs to find milk right away when they are born. Plus I was in need of some wool. Some colors are in short supply.
Marley was my first ewe lamb born on this farm. All they had were ram lambs up to that point which was depressing since I was trying to build the sheep flock. Needless to say she is pretty special. (she is the lamb I am holding on the front page of the website.) She was the first to lamb this year with her very first lamb. She is an excellent mother and “Twizzler” is extra cute!
More pictures coming soon!
4-H calves
It’s time to get ready for the County Fair. The kids are busy getting their beef projects trained to lead. It was a hot day, so they got a nice cool bath with the hose.
Fencing in the Romney’s
Pounding in wood posts
The sheep are getting more new fence. We built them a new
Pen earlier this spring, and now we are at it again. It will be nice to get them out into their new pasture once it is complete!

Felting 101
So how do these soft fluffy fibers turn into something as solid and dense as felt fabric? Wool fibers have tiny crimps all along their length. This is what allows them to wrap around each other and hold tight during spinning in order to make yarn. These crimps also allow them to become hopelessly tangled among each other in order to create felt. The tricky part is getting it to turn into the shape you want! There are 2 methods that can be used to create felt. Wet felting, and needle felting. You may already be familiar with wet felting, if you ...
Reviews
Hi, Teresa. I am ecstatic: I can hardly believe it, but my moose has just been delivered, by the Canada Post truck on a Sunday (which they must do only pre-Christmas, I guess) and he is BEYOND wonderful! Now we can both rest easy about the deliver, plus I will be able to include him in my Christmas decor (and all year round, too, of course)! Your photos on Etsy are lovely, but still the moose in real life is even more exquisite. And you did not need to worry at all about antler, ear or leg disarray: I can ...
