Hello there. Just an update on what's been happening here. Charles the goat. He was a reject (free) from a place nearby. He is very friendly and his fleece is really nice - I can't wait for spring when we shear him. He's not too keen on Max dog, but I think that is more fun than anything. After all, Max is very "in your face" and Charles is just telling her that he doesn't appreciate it.
We have a stud male now called Lord. Lordy is so easy to handle, and has settled in with the younger boys without any problems. He has had his way with a couple of the girls already. He is light fawn in colour - the fleece is dense, soft and has a good crimp. Lord is the father of the baby in the first post......the little white girl called Zoe. (You have to look in the Archived ones at the bottom of the page. December..from memory)
The next babies are due at the end of June. Of course we are hoping for girls.
I've been spinning some Lord fleece and some cashmere which is just unbelievably soft. Weaving has been fun......so much so, the garden is very weedy! Next projects..........gees, I dunno. Think of something for me....eh?
Nebodama ........Brain overflow......... A crafty blog
Some assembly required....... As always there are too many projects in conception and creation; the brain overflows, and the hands just don't work quickly enough. And then..........the alpacas.....take up my time too.

Hi Marg
This is my first visit to a blogger so I have yet to learn a lot about what the sites are all about. I liked yours - particularly the sock that had no toes. Sounds like your concentration (or lack of it) is catching up to my lack of...
I love the sound of your peaceful surrounds - I live in bustling (and bursting) Sydney but was born and raised in the country and long for its peace and quiet sometimes.
You sound like a very busy lady even though you live in such a peaceful place and your site is excellent as it brings a bit of serenity to an otherwise hectic life.
Regards
Deebee
Deebee........thanks for your comments. I have to chuckle at your comments......."your site...brings a bit of serentiy to an otherwise hectic life". I wish. All out warfare occurred between Max and Charlie; and Charlie has been terrorising the neighbourhood. ....well, just once when he got over the fence. (That won't happen again.) These things are just sent to make sure I'm alive and with my finger on the pulse (well, that's what I tell myself.........) Thanks again. I'm glad you enjoy my blog.
Doesn't look like much has happened lately
