This does not include the boarders which will be about about 3 inches all around the edges. D: 23+ balls of yarn at 205 yards a piece. I may not be able to finish it in this color should they decided to discontinue it before I am done so I am thinking already of replacements to fit the rustic look ( Read more... )

I also ran a bunch of errands today. Paid some bills, got extra $$ for myself so I stay away from the ATM. Picked up some food stuff. Man oh man was that salad ever good!

My girls are 18 weeks or very very late 17 weeks old now/ Mina, the naked Neck dropped like a stone when I brushed her back this evening. She allowed me to check her vent while pushing her forward slightly. Her vent is about one and a half finger wide. I wondered if she hadn't already laid but I don't think so. Also squating and allowing " ( Read more... )

Though they have been soaking and resoaking for nearly a month so I do not know if they will come up. I got some more seeds that WILL be planted tomorrow evening along with some other flowering seeds.
