Just keep Spinning ~~

 Fairly bad double vision today.. so I am thinking of what I can do, at least for a little bit?

Well, I do not have to see to spin yarn.
Grab some Roving sit down and start spinning.


This was in 2014, before I cut my hair.
Yes, that is Mia on my lap while I was trying to ply yarn.


A couple of examples of the handmade yarn I make. 


The merino roving I am spinning now, as per a
 previous blog post.

Miss my horses a lot, specially Maggie.
But it is allowing me to spin for short periods of time.

My moto- Just keep Spinning. ;O)

Vet shopping again ~


Like I needed this..... so I took Nari to the Vet today to get her vaccines.
Also was going to talk to her about Nari's on going stress issues.
The Ulcer med that the Vet gave her did nothing.
 She told me all her blood work was normal.

To hold Nari over until I had the energy and in-between all my Doctor visits.. I gave her 2.5mg amitriptyline, once a day. Same med that the Vet in Oregon gave us for the move over here as Sadie and Nari would stress a lot.

During that short time, Nari gain 2.7lbs, her coat is shinny and she is going well. No longer throws up, normal manure...etc...
Hasn't been that way in a long time, not even with the med the Vet gave her.

As I am sitting there waiting, so I could talk strategies with this Vet in person..... she comes in and says I can't work with someone that is so dishonest.
Ah .... ok.... how am I dishonest when this is the first chance I had to come in to talk to her in person? Was I going to just let Nari suffer? I called and told them her med wasn't working, had no response back.

Then she thumbs through the record and says,, well you used this other such and such... yes, I said because the previous Vet recommend it. (and it is in that Vets records) Have not used it since they have all been put on Vet food by this Vet.

Well, Nari needs this and this... ok, I said. But again, she says she has to trust people and I am dishonest.

How the hell am I dishonest? I will not blindly follow anyone, I want someone that is willing to work with me.

Between all my Doctors visits, my bad health, I am doing the best I can.

Now I have to find another Vet, in the next month. So few deal with cats around here. Sigh ~~






Spinning Merino Roving ~


Back to handpsinning yarn.
Just some thing so 
very peaceful about doing this.


This is the first time I have spun Merino fleece.
Fairly soft fleece which I prefer to spin and this time, I decided to get roving that was dyed, instead of the natural colors I tend to prefer.

RIP Maggie ~



RIP Maggie 5 Feb 2019.....
Feel like crawling into a hole and dying.

Maggie and I have been together for 21 years.
My wee heart horse.

She has been sick for the last few years but took a turn for the worse this last weekend.
She was in so much pain, honestly think she stayed because she did not want to leave me.

May you run pain free in big green pastures 
with many Apple trees.

Sense of humor and Pooping sheep ~


One xmas years past,
 DH was in a rather cranky mood.
So to take the Micky out of him, I bought this.

Grumpy sheep that Poops chocolate jelly beans.

No, I really could not help myself. LOL

Norway and the Realization ~


DH had to go to Norway for a bit.  
Wasn't able to take many photos because he 
was there for work.





Some of the gifts DH brought home,  
different but I love them.

Will not wear this hat around the farm animals and birds though.
Want to keep it nice as long as possible.
