Hey Em, Glad you found the fabric you like. It can be a long hunt, trust me , I know. I still have boxes I have not unpacked from our move three years ago. I hate moving. Happy you are getting settled in.

my broody pug has a thing for squeak toys and nothing squeaks louder than a chick
We had a baby goat years and years ago. We got it as a day old kid. My mom fell in love with it and bottle fed it. It was something to watch my mom feed a goat and fuss at it about it's manners. She was a city woman all her life till she came to live with me. This goat came in the house alot and the chickens would fallow it in. We would have to chase them out. We kept the door and windows open because we didn't have airconditioning. Anyway. We had one of those round stuffed ball looking chairs or what ever they are called. Their filled with tiny foam balls. Anyway, my daughter was around 4 years old and always fell asleep for her nap on that chair. One day the goat backed up and peed right on her. For a long time all we had to do to get her up was tell her the goat is about to pee on her. She would be up and out of that chair and barely awake. One of those things you have to be there to truely enjoy.
Everytime I hear about a pet goat I think of Billy. He had started butting and biting my mother on the back of her legs and she was diabetic. She couldn't afford an infection so he had to go. He started it while he was still being bottle fed. When she fixed his bottle he wanted it right then. If he didn't get it he would follow her to where ever it was she planned to feed him at and nip at the back of her legs trying to make her give him the bottle right then. All she would do was fuss at him about it so she never broke him and he just got worse. He would open the screen door by butting it with his head.
Just thought I would share that story.

Yeah, what seems cute when they're little may not be so cute later. I have my share of bottle babies and they can be very pushy and possessive of "Ma" . If any goat gets too close to me, Bella( my first bottle baby) Lets them have a good butt! Jack thinks he was a bottle baby but was not. He is the herd site right now and always wants his head scratched. 
Of course he smells awful because he is in rut. So I pull on his ears a little and he goes away. Goats hate having their ears messed with. I do love my goats!

We've got alot done but this house has to be insulated and sealed. The previous owners did nothing but damage the house. Alot needs to be done and it's getting cold at night so DH is really trying to get it done. He dn't have alot of time to do it but he's working hard. He also has the renters to take care of so he's way too busy these days. I'm trapped inside most of the tmie with the MIL. I can help a few hours at a time. We have gotten her in a program for the elderly that has nurses coming out almost everyday to help out and let me have a little free time I don't have to run in and check on her. They are also going to widen 3 doorways so she can get her wheelchair thru them and put in a ramp. She's getting one of those buttons incase she falls and i'm not inside to help her. I dn't leave her here alone so I don't really think she needs it. I bet she thinks she will be able to ush the button and it will get me to come and get what ever it is she wants or wants to tell me.
Back to the fabric. The last things that i've been sewing are aprons for chickens and I mostly do those by hand. A winter project. The den is going to triple as a sitting room/sewing room and nursery for the incubators and chicks for my winter hatching. I have got to stick to a routine of hatching silkies and sizzles in the winter and quail in the summer and turn them all off a few months in between. The nly time they've been off this year is in power outages and when I moved them to the new place. I may have turned one off in the summer for a little while. One day DH will get to building those cabinet bators for me. Just what I need more room for more eggs. Quail have been a huge demand this year. I didn't get any in my freezer.

We don't have any goats right now but we plan to. There is alot of work to be done around here and getting someting else to take care of right now just isn't an option. My birds are really too much right now. I need to attend chick hatching annonomous. I'm soo addicted to hatching. I just filled one inicubator with silkie and sizzle eggs and if these eggs don't sell they're going in the other bator. I don't know where i'll put anymore. I'm already useing a broody. I'll have to use the other one. I managed to break Moe from being broody. Now I wish I hadn't.

Not great pics but I thought I would share a few pics of our goats. We only have four, bought a mama and her two kids earlier this year. A deal too good to pass up when it was three females.
I surprised my DH with his heard sire this summer when he was out of town. He came home to find one extra goat in the pen!
Mama is a pygmy and the young girls are pygmy/boer cross, our herd buck is a reg. kiko. We have separated the younger two till later this winter and hopefully mama is already bred for early 2012.
This is right after we got them home this summer
This is one of my favorites - Don't dare let the diva's get wet.
All of them are just way too spoiled.
