Spinning Dreams and Weaving Yarns: February 2014
http://jenonthefarm.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 17, 2014. Today was in the 50's with snow melt running off the hill and covering the ground with water. The long range forecast looks clement, so, we started started shearing. Ishmael was our bell wether angora goat. Having been sheared in late July, his fleece was more than ready. It is so full of winter hay, I'm not sure what I'm going to be able to do with it. I trimmed up Tillie's tummy and checked Fantasia, who is due March 1. I'll let her fleece grow a bit more. Links to this post.

http://jenonthefarm.blogspot.com/2014/04/c-is-for-craft.html
Thursday, April 03, 2014. C is for Craft. Merriam Webster - Craft. An activity that involves making something in a skillful way by using your hands. A job or activity that requires special skill. Objects made by skillful use of the hands. Im amazed at the talents of people like you. I dabble in crocheting but dont considered myself very crafty. The craft is enjoy most these days is that of writing. I love crafting and have too many passions to focus. Sounds like you make lovely things! C is for Craft.

No little feat… er feet… | Laffing Horse Diary II
https://laffinghorse.wordpress.com/2007/10/02/no-little-feat-er-feet
Laffing Horse Diary II. News, notes and observations. No little feat… er feet…. I wanted to do something nice for a couple of my customers that have been so very patient as I got bogged down. And backed up. One of these customers has purchased, I think, just about one of everything I make… so sending something I make was out of the question. Unless I start making something else! But what don’t I already make? Little Feet, then:. In a move that I think makes these particular Little Feet even more wonderfu...

Spinning Dreams and Weaving Yarns: Gardening and cheesemaking
http://jenonthefarm.blogspot.com/2014/06/gardening-and-cheesemaking.html
Monday, June 23, 2014. Those of you who follow my blog know that last year I made the decision that my dairy goat herd was for milk production, not for raising dairy goats. To that end, I found someone who would take and raise the kids for their own use, and I have all the sweet, creamy milk from my four does. Right now I'm getting about four gallons a day. And I'm making cheese daily. Between making cheese, doing chores and gardening, I seem to be having trouble finding time to weave this summer.

Spinning Dreams and Weaving Yarns: May 2014
http://jenonthefarm.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 29, 2014. I thought I'd take my own advice and start keeping a cheese notebook, as I have several cheeses in process today. But, I couldn't find a blank notebook and didn't want to drive to the store, so, I thought I'd try this. Shawn got me a Dutch style cheese press for my birthday, so I can make some hard, aged cheeses. Tomorrow, I'll put the two cultures in the fridge until I can divide them out into ice cube trays to freeze them. Today is humid, raining off and on and the outside temp ...

Spinning Dreams and Weaving Yarns: December 2013
http://jenonthefarm.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 29, 2013. So, I went to usps.com and after entering all my information, the only shipping options were priority mail. There's no hurry on this package. So I switched to paypal multiorder shipping and entered it all again. Paypal then informed me that it doesn't support the Chrome browser, which I was using. I decided to ignore that warning, I had entered every thing in twice already! And then it crashed Chrome. Have a beautiful day! Links to this post. Daddy between the living and dining...

Spinning Dreams and Weaving Yarns: Homesteading economics
http://jenonthefarm.blogspot.com/2014/04/homesteading-economics.html
Saturday, April 19, 2014. But don't you like meat? Queried the young woman as we talked about my goat flock. I had just given away the last of my crossbred goat kids to a family who raises them for their own winter meat supply. Oh, I like our own farm-raised meat well enough." I replied. "Just not well enough to spend my milk supply raising meat.". I'd far rather have my milk for putting in my coffee, making cheese and sharing with my friends and family. Homestead economics. C is for Craft. B is for Boys.
