The Gold Stamp of Approval

I am humbled that Miss Teresa and her lovely goat, Millie, have chosen Darla and I as winners of

Millie and Teresa reside at Eden Hills Farm

It's a warm feeling that comes from having support just a request away.

Much love,
Mimi & Darla

THREE SILLY THINGS ABOUT ME!    by Darla

1.  I lived inside a wee tent when I came home to live with my Maa-maa.  It was fun!

2.  I used to scratch Yellow Dog's butt with my wee horn nubbins.  He liked it.

3.  When I got bigger I got an Alfalfa cowlick on my tummy that makes Maa-maa laugh.

I feel as though ALL the blogs I follow are the BEST!  Each one provides me with entertainment, support, solace, advice.....and just plain Goatie Love!

So.......least you think I forgot you............be reassured...........I never will!

And now.........the Envelope please.....................

The GOLD STAMP APPROVAL AWARD(s) GOES TO........................................

ANGEL BABY (AB)
and
PRECIOUS BABY (PB)

Sisters of the Goat from my Facebook page!

And, why, you may ask?

Well........because they DON'T have a blog and they are SUCH wondrous writers that now.........they HAVE to get a blog to get the award!      (bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!)

And, finally, with all due respect, I must mention that the origin of the award comes from the creative Tayet and her approving goat, Gold!   http://intayetsshoes.blogspot.com/

ENJOY!

So much love to you all........
~Mimi and Darla

And don't forget about me!  It was MY butt that was mentioned!    ~Yellow Dog

Shhhhh!   I'm hiding from Angel Baby and Precious Baby................

DANCING CAPRA

The CAPRA and the MAGICAL GOAT BLANKET PROJECT draws nigh.
I can't believe that in a few short weeks (December 5th) the Capra Blanket will be complete!
As I laid out the fabric I was reminded of all the scraps from this year that have led to such wonderful relationships, most importantly, the Sisterhood of the Goat!

And so, I sew........and leave you waiting to see the final results!

Darla is bragging in the barn because SHE gets to be the Yule Princess!

It's going to be a BEAUTIFUL evening!

And, while you wait for December 5th to arrive please take a wee peek at the link below.
It is the most wonderful representation of Dancing Capra that I have even seen.
Enjoy!  xoxo

And.....just so everyone knows.......I'm still (pout) open to those scraps from Heidelberg, Germany and Anywhere in Romania...........just sayin'............     ;)

I'm TOTALLY getting to be the YULE PRINCESS!



NATURAL WHIMSY

Feeling whimsical and Autumnal this day!
Bless the sun!

Old Lugh is feeling whimsical himself today from the look on his face!

 The fence is peeking at me through his masque!

 Old Lugh sends down beautiful leaves for me to play in!

A YELLOW DOG WINTER

I guess I don't think this really needs an explanation.
Suffice it to say, the one thing I'm grateful for is that Yellow Dog is mine.....heart, soul and...... garb............
no questions asked!
:)

ANCESTRAL WINDS

Must be the Autumn winds........

Please take a wee peek at my friend's (and goat sister) Ancestor blog........
Truly a lovely read and a visual delight..............

CAPRA BOUNTY!

And MORE mysterious CAPRA BOOTY arrives in the mail!

My sincere thanks to MIDAS P. GOAT from Cossayuna, NY for this elegant fabric!
Note the goat!  How wonderful!

And, whilst we're on the subject of Capra and the Magical Goat Blanket Project......methinks I'd better get threading that needle!  Gotta be done by December 5th!

The Sisterhood of the Goat has decided that after the December 5th event the blanket shall become a TRUE Gypsy Traveler and be sent out into the world to adorn the backs of all good goaties everywhere!

Let us know if YOU'D like to be on the list!

Much love and gypsy goat magic to you all!
