April 17th my sheep "Connie" lambed a little Ram and I named him "Cuss."
He is so tiny and cute! My sheep live at a friend's farm until we can build our barn next to the house. Last lambing season Connie did not have a baby and she was so broken hearted. She was stealing babies from the other moms.
This baby has her very happy!
Connie and Cuss are Southdown/ Dorset cross. I want to have Shetlands so Connie and Cuss will be the only ones of their kind at my house.
I have a bazillion UFOs at my house, but I couldn't resist dropping them and finishing a sweater my sister-in-law Patti's mother had started for her in the 60s. It's a "RedHeart" worsted weight yarn pattern on size 13US needles. The sleeves are 3/4 length. She was so close to the finish and it is a quick knit that I don't know why she stopped! I started another one just so I could do the whole thing. I'm doing the sleeves in the round because that's less sewing!
Hilda is 83 years old and so very active! I take her yarn whenever I visit and she makes slippers to donate for churches and rehabilitation centers. There were overe 200 pairs on my last visit. Amazing.

Congratulations to Connie! Beautiful baby :)
We love spaetzle! I usually make them instead of pasta for goulash, or other "saucy" dish. Or they are also really good with sauerkraut and salt pork or bacon or whatever similar I have currently in the fridge.
Those booties are cool. I get tired after making one thing and have to move to a different project.
Nothing better that little lambs...except for maybe baby goats!
Hmm.. They would be better for goulash! I will have to try that!
I get bored making hte same thing too! I have two bins ful of UFOs!
