I'm trying very hard to be sensiable. With planning on moving, I really shouldn't get any new birds this year. still, a few quail wouldn't hurt right? (seriously if mine start laying again i'm going to sneak down the bator...)

Tiffany

Puff

Haven't bred them yet, but they are both small. Puff is TINY. I think they would make adorable TINY babies.

Went to a rabbit show this morning. Rex's are pretty boring, lionheads are SOOO CUTE, Netherland Dwarfs are TOOO CUTE, and Californians are beautiful. Didn;t care for the dutch so much, but I did love the mini holland lops.

And I FINALLY got to meet Paul Lee, a local franch angora breeder that I have been playing email tag with for over a month now. He taught me how to hand spin my yarn and I came home with the tool and a big bag of wool to practice with.

Fun morning!!!!

my mocha's a rex, with them the fun is in holding them, it's like snuggling velvet. Spinning is on the shortlist of things i'd like to pick up.

I can't afford a wheel and all the hand spinnning stuff I find online looked really hard. This tool is a piece of cake!!!!
