Internet burnout.

I think I am just going to wrap up my cafe in Cafe World, let everyone know I am taking some time away from the PC, and shut the thing down for a while. I'll be checking my email at least once a day though, so if anyone needs me, drop me a line at warhorseone at hotmail dot com. :-)

Brego hates the heat, and the goats before they eat and after, and a new knit project...

Brego hates the heat. He would rather stand in the shade in the barn then stand in the sun and eat hay. Mary is just as bad, only she uses brego for shade and never passes up hay, no matter how hot it is.

Sparrow doesn't give a hoot either way, i think he actually enjoys the heat.

I got some pictures of the goats with an empty belly and with a full belly because the way they fill their stomach to chew cud later cracks me up.

Before browsing out all day:

after (same day, same goat, 7 hours later):

lol.

They make me laugh when they have full bellies and are all bulgy out to the sides.

Oh, I bought this pattern and made a test toy, I think it is cute. It's made on straight needles not round or double pointed. I just used some yarn I got at a garage sale:

I was using needles that were two sizes too big because I didn't have any the size i needed, so he isn't as tight as i would have liked but he turned out pretty good for a test. I got some straights to use of the right size, and plan to make a few more of different, more horse appropriate, colours, and want to try and make a gypsy horse one, lol.

I want to get more of their patterns because they are CUTECUTECUTE!!!
