Shearing Sheep

The Sheep Shearer is on the way...

 

The sheep are waiting in the barn...

I'm not fat......I'm FLUFFY !

The little white face on the right is the mama...

The black and white face is her son, Arthur.

The sheep shearer is here:

The Hooves are trimmed...

The shearing only takes a few minutes...

Look at all the fleece that was sheared off !

Wow....they look great !

Bernie the dog wonders, "I hope I'm not next."

Rooster rides Sheep...

I was passing by my neighbor's house and 

look what I saw...

 

Yes, her rooster rides around on the sheep !

He follows the sheep as they graze in the pasture

and is known to hop up on them and 

take a cozy nap...

Neocolor II Portrait.......Dorset Sheep

Last summer we spent a day at the

Oregon State Fair

One of our friends was exhibiting this gorgeous

Dorset Ram (sheep)

In the sheep industry his horns are known as a

Full Curl

I couldn't resist playing around with this image in

Photo Shop Elements 4:

Here is the ram printed out on 13 x 19 fabric

Now the fun begins...

At this point he is all colored in with

Neocolor II Water soluble Crayons

Now it is time to paint:

The right horn is painted...

Yes, these crayons have that much pigment in them.

Both horns are painted...

His body and the hay are painted...

Here is the Dorset Ram all painted in

I can't hardly stand myself...

I think I have to take him out to the Thread Shed

and get him under the needle!

Seize The Moment

Snow photography is my favorite. When I wake up and the world is white, I quickly throw on my clothes and ask my husband to take me for a ride. The photo you see here was taken at the Westfork Barn where our cattle are fed in the winter.

Click on this photo to enlarge it and see it close up. I love the frosty tree limbs on the left side of the photo.

The white sheep against the snow is one of my favorites. These are North Country and Lincoln sheep. They knew my husband was there to feed them, so they came out of the barn to greet us........it made the perfect photo.

Do things when you are inspired to do them. Don't put them off until a more convenient time.........by then the snow may have melted and the opportunity is lost.

In quilting, use that fabric while you are still inspired to make something with it.

Your enthusiasm will eventually dwindle, and you will forget why you purchased that fabric. Make notes in a journal when you are inspired. You can take out the journal at a later date, see your notes, and that inspiration will come flooding back to you.

We need to cultivate our creativity, like a gardener tending to his flowerbed.
