Little Feat



That was a great band I enjoyed in my youth. Maybe you remember them? If not, look them up on youtube sometime. I've been working on a little feet myself. I've been doing some sock knitting in various sizes. They are nice, portable projects.









and little feet like to wear them.












even if grandma doesn't like to waste yarn and makes them so they don't match exactly!





The other 'Little Feat' I have accomplished are these DinoShoes. Two different sized pairs, they allow the wearer to have his own Triceratops on his feet. They were very detail oriented. But adorable.








This picture is of them all wadded together. I haven't decided if I'm going into production of these yet. Or how many hundreds of dollars I would charge per pair. I'm sure I'll be making more this fall as little feet continue to grow.

Talk to you soon,  Tammy

Maya

I'd like to introduce "Maya". She is Aztec's daughter and
quite a beauty! She was born on Jan 2 (yes, an unplanned birth. I thought I bred Aztec for a Dec 1 baby but obviously she was bred during one of the boy break
outs last winter. sheesh....) She spent her first night in the house because of the cold, cold weather. Aztec was so mad at me for taking her that she kept looking in the kitchen windows at me with her ears back and a scowl on her face. Remeber the old Kujo, the evil dog horror movie? I was having  flashbacks to it during the night. You
see, during the drought last fall, we put up red neck fencing around the back yard to the house to give the packies more grazing room. With the house itself being one wall, the packie girls can literally look into the kitchen windows. It was all fun and cool until the night I brought Maya into the house. One second Aztec would be looking at me through the window with an ugly look on the face, then I'd call to my hubby that she was there again and when I'd look back she would be gone. It started creeping me out! When I took her back out to the barn in the morning, Aztec's lip curled up when she saw me. The two of them have been together ever since. Happy and healthy. Thank goodness! Still not sure who her daddy is for sure, but I have an idea that it is Blizzard. I'll keep you posted.

I'm asking that anyone who reads my blog and like it to please 'follow' me. I have people comment on it and tell me when they see me how they enjoyed it but I have only 1 follower. (and thank you Cathy!) It would lift my spirits. Thanks. 

Talk to you soon,  Tammy

Its been awhile..............

Yes, its been awhile. Depression has an ugly head and comes around for different reasons. and when she comes she usually stays for awhile. I had a very nice and quiet Christmas with my family and it has helped to lift the spirits. Nothing helps brighten me up like babies do. Grandbabies and alpaca babies and I had both coming around to help cheer me. I'll start posting again and post some cria pictures. I don't feel clever or witty yet so please bear with me and my 'maybe not yet clever or witty posts'. They will improve and then one day I'll write something totally awe inspiring.

I have been doing a little knitting. and felting. I have turned in some class proposals to teach at some fiber events in the midwest so if I get accepted, I'll post about it.

Lots going on with the farm. Mostly day to day stuff. Some new stuff and some old stuff. Oh! we now have a llama. I'll write more about her. She is awesome!

Talk to you soon,  Tammy
