- What started out as a bad day quickly repaired itself with a visit from Charlie...
Today is SHEARING DAY!
My favourite day.
But there is one thing I've been struggling with.
That my wool is worth NOTHING.
A beautiful, renewable fibre that isn't being used?
I just don't get it...
So I am going WAY outside my skill set to try to do my part in supporting our wool supply in Canada.
Please don't laugh. LOL

I'm a die hard knitter, but before I realized knitting wasn't hard and I could learn it via CZcams tutorials, I was a felter. Needle felting, specifically. My husband and I have been married for 9 years now, but we met online, and my in laws were AMAZING and welcomed me into their home with open arms and open hearts when I made the move from Texas here to Nevada. One of the first things my mother in law and I bonded over was felting; she'd seen a little needle felted animal online and didn't know that's what it was, and when I was like "oh that's needle felting, and it's not as difficult as you think it is", she wanted to learn, so I taught her. Even when she got really, really sick, she continued to make her little critters and figures. That's how she passed the time when she was spending 7 to 9 hours a day, 4 days a week getting dialysis, and she accidentally started a little "felting circle" at her dialysis center, I had POUNDS of undyed raw roving that I basically supplied for them to use. Young and old, men and women, even some of the staff picked it up. She passed 3 years ago, and every time I look at those little needle felted figures she made, it brings back special memories. Pardon the long story, I just felt like I needed to share.
Also, I'd LOVE some yarn from your sheep, it breaks my heart that all this wool and fleece is just going to waste because of the economics. Wool is SUCH a great fiber, and so very versatile, and I wish the general public understood that; maybe then there would be more demand.
Amazing and sweet story, made me smile. Additionally your mother-in-law seems so nice and inspiring during the time she had here on Earth.
It floors me that wool is worth nothing considering how valuable wool PRODUCTS are.
And how much yarn costs! It's hard to believe that it used to be economical to knit!
As painful as it is, I'm happy that the ewe is free from suffering. Her groans broke my heart as well and I felt she needed the mercy you provided her.
Hey Carissa, I just wanted to say ‘hello’ to you and tell you what a fantastic job I think you do for Sandi. You are a really hard worker and are learning well from all of Sandi’s great knowledge. I wish you well as you continue in life. 😊🐏🐑
So sorry you lost the ewe lamb. If nothing else Sandi, you are compassionate-and patient! I give you so much credit. Thank you for pouring so much of yourself into this work. It gives us life!
My heart was breaking watching Sandi close to tears over the little lamb. 😢 No one better EVER say anything about Sandi not treating her sheep well! I was raised on a farm and all my friends parents were farmers and I have never seen a farmer in the 50 years I have been on this earth treat animals with so much compassion and love! This woman is a saint among us and I don't see how she doesn't see what a stellar person she is. Dedicated, hard working, compassionate and loving, and that just begins to describe Sandi Brock. 💕🐑🐑🐑🐑
I know this old but I reply to this because the words you used touch my heart I agree Sandi is a Saint and really loving and caring about her sheep and the babies. Just touches my heart she does and when there sheep losing lambs puts tears in my eyes. I really feel for Sandie when I see her videos and how upset she gets. I also watch her trying to safe the lambs but sometimes they give up breathing but most of pull through and she tries and reunight them to there mum. So Sandi is most Harding working farmer I watch. So love your comment, no I am not a farmer but I love animals and so does my children who are adults and married and have animals for there children.
There's stubbornness and then there's animal distress. That poor lamb is living a constant nightmare or terror. She's been going through this too long. A prey-herd animal's worse stress comes from feeling helpless. Being stuck like this can't go on.
@@gregedmand9939 There’s also not giving up without a fight! The young sheep had Polioencephalomalacia or a form of polio with is treatable in most cases with thiamine for 1 to two days. Most sheep do recover but there are more severe cases that can last longer and sometimes no matter what treatments are done, the sheep doesn’t recover. Sandi was trying to save this little sheep and not just give up and euthanize it without trying. I had to watch previous video to remind me of the situation. She wasn’t trying to torture her and wanted to give her every possible chance to recover. It’s so easy to condemn someone sitting behind a screen, typing on a keyboard. It’s quite another to actually BE on a farm, taking are of animals and having to make those hard decisions. We farmers don’t want to lose any of our animals, we do everything in our power to protect and preserve their quality of life but sometimes, no matter what you do, it isn’t enough. You only see a few minutes of Sandi treating this sheep, you have no idea of what all she did for her when her camera wasn’t on. She made the ultimate decision to do the last act of kindness but it wasn’t without her feeling sadness, regret and remorse for not saving this sheep. Would you want your Doctor to give up as easily and quickly as you wanted Sandi to do for this sheep or would you want them to do everything possible before they let you die?
@@mimidavis2686 I wasn't critical of Sandi's treatment at all, just supporting her final hard decision. I know how hard it is to act on the ultimate behalf of animals you have emotional attachments to. It's just as difficult when your lively hood depends on them. Seeing them in terror is as heart wrenching as seeing them in pain. My experience crosses race horse training and many family pets. I've been binging my way through her videos and watching how hard she fights for them is most impressive.
Sandi I can’t tell you how proud I was of you watching you making the dryer balls. You are such a precious young lady and I tune in every time to see your life with your farm. We live on a little 5 acre piece of land but we had goats and I can’t tell you how much joy they brought me. I have chickens and we have a cow and a few pigs but I have found as a city girl I missed a great deal of goodness living with animals. You inspire me every time I watch and I hate when you are troubled by naysayers. You rock! Keep going your path, you’re a strong woman and you’re strength gives others strength.
It is hard to put a ewe out of her misery. Sandi I say it is HARD BUT YOU DID THE. RIGHT THING,
I’m watching from Saint John, New Brunswick, near where that wool is processed and spun. I love the way you love your animals and care so much for them. As a fellow animal care professional (zookeeper), I applaud you 😊🐑
I love the balls there are adorable!!!! I’m a crafter and you’re doing a great job ❤️
Polio is painful! I got polio at 4 yrs old, I am now 65yrs old. My whole life has been full of pain. THANK YOU FOR HELPING HER! You did the right thing.
Sorry to hear that. Wishing you strength to carry on.💐
Just so you know, sheep polio is not the same disease as human polio. The alternate name for this is cerebrospinal necrosis and is caused by the inability to process thiamine (a nutrient critical to the development of the central nervous system). IDK if that makes much of a difference in terms of the animals suffering, but I'm sure Sandi did right by the lamb.
I'm sorry you had polio, but at least there are vaccinations for humans to prevent that disease and its almost eradicated as a result. GB and take care!
I'm sorry you had To go THROUGH THAT. Ï KNOW NOTHING more a bout it then THAT it USED To often requise use of an looping To énable breathing, WHICH, in comparaison to those we have respirations sounds incredibly painful! Congratations on successifully fighting such a terrible DISEASE.😘💕👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
@@shawnwales696 thank toi for thé clarification, ils admit To confusion!
Hi Sandy! I"m a knitter here and felting is fun. :D
First off, the yarn you have comes in a hank or you can also call it a skein (skane pronunciation). To felt you have to have 100% wool (untreated and "natural" wool not anything that's superwashed). Any synthetic fiber will not felt. If you don't like the shape of it, make your layers smaller so that they're less noticable. If you have spots that aren't felting so well, you can use a little bit of hand soap and water and rub the areas that you want tighter.
If you want your ornaments lighter then work them around a ping pong ball so there's a hollow center.
I love your crafting ideas. Thanks!
Oh Sandi.. I just love the balls you’re making! They are turning out so stinkin cute! I’ve been with you for years now and I was with you on your live.. it was so much fun! You and Jess are hilarious! Sending you lots of love and hugs from Atlanta, GA. ❤️
Sandi...you did what was best for that little lamb. You showed her grace when you could’ve just put her down right away. You did all you could and I’m sure she appreciates all your effort.
this .. i know it's never easy .. cyber-hug and prayers for Sandi
Thank you so much for doing all you could for the little ewe lamb! You done the biggest act of kindness for her by putting her down since she wasn't getting any better after all the treatment you gave to her! ❤💯Big Hug!🌹You are an Amazing lady Sandi and you take damn good care of your sheep, pets...dont ever let anyone tell you different!🌹💯
As a novice felter myself, I think you did those dryer balls perfectly, and I love that you are promoting the use of wool!! I'm sad that so much wool is going by the wayside when fiber prices are still so high!
The wool balls are so beautiful. I have a quilt that has wool batting hand carded by my grandfather.
That's wonderful that you have his carded wool in a quilt. I have a couple of quilts from my Granny, but they are not in great shape. I thought I might be able to salvage little bits to make ornaments.
I love that you always come up with projects to support your community. First the meet boxes and now the wool project. You are an incredible farmer and human being! Thanks for being on youtube!!!
A message for Charlie: when my husband switched to suspenders, not only did they keep his pants up better, they reduced his back pain. A belt sinched up can actually cause a lot of back pain without you knowing it. It's worth trying out anyway.
Added bonus for suspenders is that now they buy pants in the right size. Suspenders can be very fashionable as well.
I’m always amazed how fast he shears them and how he never seems to nick them. Awesome shearer
Love, love, love the Billy & Cinnamon balls. I’m partial to Billy’s balls! 😷 Loved the live but couldn’t comment or see comments - I’m a youtube newbie. Thank you for being you and your honesty and transparency especially when it comes to the reality of your herd. You give us the good and the bad; the happy and the sad; the beauty and the not so pretty. Thank you! Much love for all of you!
Congratulations on making your dryerballs!
I've been making them for years from my sheep's wool...honestly the sales of them has greatly supplemented my "sheep habit".
A top load washing machine with an agitator works best. Another tip, use a kitchen scale to weigh your roving so all the DBalls are of a consistent size.
Use a good felting wool, usually the higher the micron the less it will felt.
Another tip, when selecting replacement rams always look for a finer wool ram (very small crimpy wool) you will see a big difference in his lambs.
So maybe you'll have a good market lamb with really good wool too.
Enjoy, have fun...there is so much you can do with wool.
I have watched many people shear over the years but I have never seen someone so ambidextrous with electro-mechanical shears before. Charlie handles those clippers really well.
For folks that have never sheared a sheep the principle secret is to know how to handle the sheeps body so that the skin is smooth and taught without wrestling the sheep. The issue of handling the sheep becomes much more difficult the bigger (and smaller) the sheep are. Big sheep struggle and small sheep squirm something awful and you have to bend further more of the time!
What a wonderful helper you have!! You thought you were going to have a mess to clean up! She rocks!👍
Love the cupid over the rams. I didnt realize rams were so quick with their performance lol..wham, bam, thank you ma'am
The hard part of farming is never easy on the farmer. You did the absolute best you could for your ewe.
Sandi check out the dog on the You Tube channel Craft Crazy Genius. I bet there is a way to may a sheep like that. Maybe cut the wool shorter. Also maybe next year you could make a snowman by making the balls and sewing them together.
You're 100% correct. No meed to watch any animal going through pain.
🤣🤣 Charlie’s response, “you mean I don’t have to truck it?!” I think I seen a slight glimmer in his eye 🤣♥️ love shearing days!!
I started felting a few months ago. I must say your dryer balls came out far better then mine! I cant wait to see what else you create and sell!
And you did everything you could for the lamb. Sometimes you just need to take away their pain.
Knitter here- The "braid thing" you were handling at the end of the video is called a 'twisted hank' #knitting
I always thought Hank was a bit twisted.... 😂
You're leading in the right direction with the wool crafts. Since you have a fairly large platform, others will be inspired to add their ideas and who knows what will happen from there?
That’s exactly what I’m hoping for!!! Tides raise all ships!❤️🙌
I wanna buy yarn and try to make those dryer balls for gifts ...
OMG I love those balls they are so cute especially the Billy valentine heart and of course cinnamon ball I would love to have both of them
Love Charlie’s care, no nicks!
The Billy heart could be Billy Butts! Totally adorable 🥰 great job Sandi!
Sandi, I'm a spinner, knitter and a beginner weaver, so hearing that you're going to do something with your wool makes me very happy. One of our former spinners & weavers guild members made duvets and pillow from wool - so I thought I'd drop that little idea in here. Hugs to you to help you through a tough morning. Youts in Gratitude
This! I crochet and want to go into spinning my own yarn. I'd be happy to have wool from Sandy
Pillows would be it👀👀👀
Oh I love reading these comments. I need to get back into my spinning weaving etc.
Duvets with real wool are verrry snuggly!
Yes, & I know someone who makes wool mattresses out of theirs.
PILLOWS!!!! You can make pillows with wool roving! That would be awesome! Can't wait to see your new wool stuff on the web site
The heart balls are the cutest thing I've ever seen!! What a wonderful idea!! 🤍
So many things to say! First - tell Mark to go tune up a tractor or something - you and Jess were GREAT on the live. Second - is there any way you can use the wool from our, er I mean your sheep for the base of the balls? Cheaper for you and more meaningful for us. Third - so very sorry about the lamb. You did what you needed to do and when you needed to do it. You gave her a chance and then helped her out of her misery. If anyone comes for you for that, just let me know! #superfan
She would still need to send her wool to a processing plant to be cleaned and processed before she can use it. It might be cheaper for her to purchase some already processed wool for her crafts. I agree about the sentimental value, BUT he products she is selling are hand crafted by her, and THAT"S a huge deal. I work with yarn on a daily basis, and it's very time consuming, nor is it cheap as a hobby. But when one is as enthusiastic about it as Sandi is, and her beloved fans are, we always find a way!!
had the great pleasure of giving a superchat, which Sandi more than deserves
I love them.
When we crochet, we just pull the thread thru and leave it all together. I like to make yarn balls because they make crocheting easier. I never realized you could actually make stuff with the balls. That is awesome
Charlie is good at shearing. Here, when they shear, sometimes the sheep have knicks and cuts.
As a pet groomer for 30 plus years, I was about to say the same thing. Charlie is so fast, and I know how easy it is to nick a pet.
This brought back memories of holding the skein for my great-grandmother. She would wind the yarn into balls and then crochet covers for wooden coat hangars. Pretty and clothes stayed on better.
I had to hold the skeins for my mom. It brings back loving memories 💕
Yes maybe we should all get together and buy her a Swift.
I love your wool balls! 💕
The young lady who helps you is a keeper.
this is how i get my happiness. there is snow covering the ground in England right now which is pretty awesome but this is my happiness fulfilled for the day. doesn't mean i can't take more!
The balls are so cool! Such a great idea ❤️
I love the valentine balls! Adorable 🖤🤍❤️
I was so glad you did a live. Please, do it again. Practice makes it perfect.
Cinnamon hearts and Billy Valentines are amazing!! I love your unique ideas!!!😊💟
I honestly love these shearing videos! It's so nice to see all the sheep so clean and refreshed!
Thanks for showing us how the balls are made! I was wondering how you got the heart on them. I am so very sorry about the polio lamb, we were all rooting for her to get better. You win some you loose some 😢🤗
I love your post! No matter what it is. I’m inspired by you to get going! You never stop! Thanks for being there for me and all the other people out there. We love you and your family!
Sandy, maybe try to market your wool to tiny house builders. They love it for insulating the walls.
Great idea, hadnt thought of that 1, @Sandi Brock is there any habitat for humanity or tiny house projects that could use the wool???.. so sad since i use to think it was economically sound need for wool, blows my mind n how the world has changed 👀💭😢😥❣️... So happy ya found someone who can make things from the wool n ya learning a new trend my sweet friend 👏❤️👏❣️... Its not dumb the way you did the wool, actually sharing knowledge, we who 🚫 know 🐑❤️🐏❣️... Great lil project , how did it go for you 👀💭???. .. 🤞 it was worth ya time for the Billy Balls ya made ✔️💯❣️
GIRL..grant yourself some GRACE...you’re being supportive to your peers‼️💜💚🧡 you did awesome 👏🏽 💜💚🧡💜💚🧡💜💚🧡
Yes she did!!!
The crafts are absolutely adorable...The Billy balls are great..🖤🤍🖤 ..You are fooling us 😁 you're very crafty 💛👍💛
Put a camera on the hose! :) Then you'll see how the buggers are doing it!
It’s a cat or some other critter on the outside of pen . They smell the milk
@@rjfarms1206 I thought maybe another critter too..
Are they butting it underneath and making hose hit the fence bar? Or does that plate move even a little?
Breaks our Hearts to see the Ewe Fighting for its Life. You did it a Huge Favor and Ended it’s Life.🙏
I really enjoyed your live Friday night. Thank you for sharing your life, sheep and time with us. You inspire me. Love ya, Evonne from East Bernstadt, KY USA
You can make a yarn ball for the core and then just do black roving on the outside. I know Biggs & Little makes different colour roving. Love that you are crafting.
Great idea!!!!
Good idea
@@SandiBrock Just a suggestion Sandi but maybe u could make smaller balls and put a little sachet of potpourri in them to hang in closets, put in drawers and for air fresheners for your car. If they were half the size of the balls u r making now and u used the roving that would be adorable. Or maybe instead of potpourri people could put drops of scented oil on them. Maybe u could try some scented oils on a few and use them yourself and see if it works. I have been crafting my whole life. I was raised in a family of women who were frugal and loved to handmade presents so I consider myself lucky that I was taught those skills. But n e one can learn how even u Sandi. U r amazing. Lotz of luv to u and your family from way down south in Louisiana.
@@SandiBrock I don't think most people bought your wool items just because they luv wool... They bought them cause they luv u and want to support u in any way they can. Lol
Because you show a lot about u and your family life in your videos u have become someone who a lot of us see as a friend even though we haven't met u IRL. We admire and luv u and want to give u a little back for all u do for us. Your videos have gotten a lot of us thru this crazy last year. Thanx for being u.
How I love your adventures in wool. I am 72 now, but somehow in my ancient memories, I remember my grandmother undoing a hank of yarn, slinging it carefully between2 chair backs and winding it into balls so my great grandmother could knit school sweaters for all the great grand kids. Being the oldest, sometimes I was recruited to help hold the yarn. Memories ❤
Here is a fix for your washer leaking in the front... the door seal, at the bottom there is a lip on the outside of the inner lip.... where the darkest stain is. There are 3 holes there, clean those out and your washer won't leak anymore.
Did mine just the other day. Use toothpicks, gets everything out easily.
Exactle. Luckily, my repairman showed me this simple fix. Lots of hair/fur in my house. I also clean the seal of hair after every load.
I have the same washer as she does and mine leaks in front also at times. I clean mine constantly and it still leaks. I also wash the seal around to get the mold and mildew off. There is a filter on the left side of the washer that gets cleaned out constantly also since one of my dogs shed.
Charlie makes it look so easy 😂 love this channel ♥
I would definitely buy the Wool from you if I lived in Canada. The things I could make from it is endless. Have a great day. 😁 Cheryl
Your channel is art. There is an amazing amount of creativity required to film and produce this excellent content.
Be proud of what you have shown that you are good at.
I'm adoring the pun! Keep up the good work Sandi! I love you!
I love those ornaments! I do a lot of crafting and it’s a super good distressor for me! Can’t wait for these to go live on the website!!
Lovely, a crafter always starts ‘somewhere’.
"You’ve done a beautiful job on Billy’s and Cinnamon’s dryer/ornaments.
Seeing how large Ruby is here really hits home how skinny she was when she passed. RIP Ruby
It's never an easy decision to make. You did your best for her. ❤ hugs.
I love your Billy Balls & Cinnamon Hearts they are ADORABLE! Sandi you are so good at a lot of things! Please keep moving forward! No one has a user’s manual we are all learning as we go. GREAT JOB GIRL 👍
Crafting with Sandi! I love it. More crafting videos are needed! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐑❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So excited for the dryer balls!! Thank you for all your hard work!
Very impressed with your crafty skills Sandi, never thought we'd see a craft tutorial from you 😂 love the balls and everything in your shop, I'm saving up for a haul 👕 you continue to inspire me with every video you put out and everything you do in your life. You did more than lots of other people would have for that little lamb. Thank you for all you do. Lots of love always, Yasmin and Dan 🇬🇧xx
LOL!!! I was so scared to post this video! I’ve been texting my friend Belinda saying a three year old would do a better job at this than me!!!🤦♀️
@@SandiBrock I'm sure Belinda doesn't think that and put your mind at rest ❤️ I hope I get one of those balls on release day! I always miss it 🥴 normally chasing sheep 😂 love to all the family xxx
@@SandiBrock Curious is Belinda patient enough for crafting? Night of Girl Bonding might be interesting....beverages mandatory!
I really enjoyed your live feed! I hope you do it again.
Thank you Sandi for the shout out to the Revolution Wool Shop! They sell will quilt batting! Just placed my first order! Can’t wait. Thanks so much and the Valentine balls look adorable. ❤️❤️👍
thought the live stream was great and would be nice to have Mark joining in 💪👍🚜
it was freaking awesome live feed. Never caught one from the beginning.
I think synthetic “wool” is much less expensive to process because it is made mostly with machines. I love real wool, but am allergic to lanolin. 😢. I hope you do well with your crafts! So cute!
Congratulations on your 1st live, you and Mark always produce excellent videos, sound and picture quality is always 1st class, I always watch yours and Marks videos from beginning to end. I think your channels are very well presented, keep up the good work and thanks for the entertainment.
Those look so great! You're too hard on yourself, Sandi.
Omg. I NEED a billy dryer ball....I sure hope you are making TONS of these or they will sell out in minutes!
You did great on the live. I love the ornaments, that's how I roll my yarn balls. Maybe your more crafty than you thought. Love your videos keep em coming.
Your craft project is amazing!!! Thank you for being vulnerable
Sheeple, is what I call THEM ADORABLE CREATURES.SANDI YOU WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR THEM. NO ONE COULD BLAME YOU FOR DOING WHAT YOU CAN DID THEM. GOD BLESS, DEB
I noticed your washer had stuff growing on the rubber ring that seals the door. My family had the same thing for a long time. We figured out if you run a cycle with quite a bit of bleach it will kill it (you might have to wipe it afterward). Then if you always leave your washer door open after you wash so air can flow in it will dry out and not grow stuff anymore. :) (not that you have to do this, just wanted to share in case you were looking for a way to get rid of it) :)
Same here! And don't forget to leave open the drawer for soap, too.
We do this as well!
No bleach on a septic system.
We are on a septic system as well. The front load are a maintenance pain. I wipe mine down with Clorox (or any brand similar) wipes after most loads. I do run bleach through the cleaning cycle as our well inspector said minimal bleach use as described is ok. I don't use bleach in normal washing or the tough antibacterials to keep the system safe.
I was watching the sheep game and joanne the shearer, they are really cool
Spread the word, Joanne is amazing snd she doesn’t seem to know what a beautiful young lady she is as well. Joanne deserves more subscribers.
THOSE BALLS ARE VERY VERY CUTE!!!!!!! GOOD JOB!!!!!! WHAT A PERFECT WAY TO SUPPORT THE WOOL INDUSTRY!!!!!
These Billy Valentines and Cinnamon hearts are amazing!!! Love them to bits!!!! Yes, felting is a new thing for me too, but I quite enjoyed it!!! Now I know how to make the ball part of it!!! It is something to do on the cold nights when kids are both working and all my paperwork is done!!! Great job Sandi!!!
I am so excited for the wool... Amazing Sandi...
Does Carissa have a twin I could bring to Texas? What an amazing young lady she is... All around. So proud you are able to showcase her.
You have such a big heart for these lovely sheep’s and baby lambs! You give it your all and I admire that. I have no lambs or sheep but I love watching the interaction you dedicate to your animals!
So sorry about you ewe... you did the humane thing for her. You gave her a chance and then it was time to do the right thing and let her go since she was suffering. I love the wool balls.
Loved the live and thosewill backs are awesome!! Sandy your an inspiration to so many
Omg! I love the Billy Balls!
*Valentines Day Billy Balls* 😁🤭❤️ - no pun inteded, lol! Fantastic idea, they are super cute👍
Hey Sandi!👋 Hope everything is going better for you! Be safe and blessed! 😆❤👍
The Braid you are talking about is called a hunk of yarn 🧶 sorry I knit all the time
I’ve heard it referred to as a hank.
@@mo317 you are right. It's a hank.
I was going to suggest you use roving for your balls, I am glad you figured it out on your own. If you just use the one chair it will twirl around as you make your yarn ball so it will go smoother.
Bless your heart. You gave it your best to help the little lamb recover. I caught the last fifteen minutes of the live. Love the relationship you and your daughter have. ❤ Great felting projects.
I think you are craftier than you think. I believe homemade anything is never perfect. That’s the best of homemade gifts. I absolutely love your channel.
You’ve done a wonderful job! I love that you’re always willing to step out and try things not even close to your comfort zone. That inspires me. And thanks for being willing to share. ❤️
It’s awesome Charlie can shave with both hands, makes it faster I’m sure! I’d hate to have his back issues! I have my own!
Everybody starts somewhere in a craft. Perfection isn't required only experimentation to see what works best for you! Love the balls.
Sandi, so very sorry about the lamb. That is the last kindness you can do for an animal. Love the balls. Keep up the good work, the world needs more wonderful, strong women, like you.
