The Pro showed us how to do it this year and it is something that would only come with practice. He only charged £10 so I feel £10 is more than worth it each year. The fleeces are just wool, no hide, so Ill wash them and try my luck with something for sure. The skeepskin rug will be lovely when we get hides (is skin on) and yes, very cosy! xxTracy https://www.blogger.com/profile/05866363148112288322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014100274699311649.post-92138242727961549502017-06-30T01:25:49.534-07:002017-06-30T01:25:49.534-07:00haha, got to be able to laugh at yourself otherwis...haha, got to be able to laugh at yourself otherwise it'd be a long and boring lifeTracy https://www.blogger.com/profile/05866363148112288322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014100274699311649.post-82760738931784149602017-06-30T01:24:55.250-07:002017-06-30T01:24:55.250-07:00Oh 100% should say that - we didn't know how b...Oh 100% should say that - we didn't know how bad it was until the pro came in! xTracy https://www.blogger.com/profile/05866363148112288322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014100274699311649.post-22734807477584747372017-06-30T01:24:06.582-07:002017-06-30T01:24:06.582-07:00That's really nice of you to say - makes me al...That's really nice of you to say - makes me all warm and fuzzy inside!

I am not sure that I would be so brave and your poor sheep sporting the latest punk look! Glad you found an expert. Is Ste taking lessons from your friend next year but glad you have come to an arrangement. Especially as it looks as you have plans to increase the flock. What are you going to do with the fleeces are you going to cure them and use them in the house. Sheepskin rugs would be cozy in the bedroom come winter! Take care <br /><br />PattypanxxPattypanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533048669555871726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014100274699311649.post-89908783659648010292017-06-29T11:33:54.918-07:002017-06-29T11:33:54.918-07:00I did laugh when you first showed us but well done...I did laugh when you first showed us but well done for trying, Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05213759909336433460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014100274699311649.post-79740927113212120292017-06-29T08:57:03.899-07:002017-06-29T08:57:03.899-07:00Dare I say "should have gone to spec savers! ...Dare I say "should have gone to spec savers! xWinters End Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924495691256051693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014100274699311649.post-14494072693839195702017-06-29T08:50:45.741-07:002017-06-29T08:50:45.741-07:00You are really starting to 'homestead network&...You are really starting to 'homestead network' which is brilliant. So we may be looking at even more sheep/lambs in the future. I did have a little giggle to myself though!
