I'm back in the saddle!... So to speak...

I took a hiatus from blogging for quite some time. I've been active on Facebook and other social media and haven't really had time to post here on the blog. However, I'm thinking that blogging is a great way to keep track of what I'm doing for my fiber business and for the ranch. 

I had my right knee partially replaced in December of 2014 after letting it go for several years. The knee was to the point where I could no longer bend it and because it was bone on bone on the inside of the knee, I was walking on the side of my left boot/shoe, wearing out the inner side of my shoes. This knocked my hips, back, neck, etc. out of whack and I was pretty much miserable 24/7. I discovered AFTER surgery while still in the hospital that I am allergic to every pain med they tried. They finally gave up and sent me home with no pain meds and told me to take Tylenol, which does nothing for me. I had an anaphylactic reaction to NSAIDs over 20 years ago and my allergist told me to never take NSAIDs again because they would probably kill me. Needless to say, recovery from surgery was NOT the 3 to 5 weeks the surgeon's office told me it would be! It was 7 or 8 months after surgery before I could bend my knee past 60 to 80 degrees. Because of this, I have not used my treadle spinning wheel since early 2014 - about 3.5 years. I bought a beautiful Hansen electric spinner from another fiber artist who said she never "bonded" with the spinner. Lucky me! I love my e-spinner but just haven't had the time to spend doing much spinning. I need to change that. 

We've pared down our llama herd to 15 llamas and that includes our second llama that we purchased in November 1996. He'll be 24 this month. He's slow and has problems getting around but he's in with the chickens and ducks and still has a sparkle in his eye, even if he no longer has a spring in his step. Our second oldest llama is one of our foundation females who will be 19 the end of this month. We're down to our "keeper" herd - our favorite llamas that we'd prefer to keep rather than sell. Last October we put Wheatfield's Spencer in with our females (with the exception of our oldest female - we removed her while Spencer was in with the rest of the girls) and we're hoping we'll have several crias this Fall. Normally we "hand breed", selecting a different male for each female we want to breed, but this time we just put Spencer in with all the females since he is not related to any of them. 

We have added milk and fiber goats to our ranch program. I have purebred Nigerian Dwarf goats and Pygora/Angora goats. Last summer we had our first kid born - it was a cross between Rosemary (my Pygora doe) and Skylar (my Nigerian Dwarf buck). The kid was born missing part of her back left leg because the umbilical cord got wrapped around it while she was developing and that leg never developed. Her name is Little Miss Tippy Thyme. She gets around surprisingly well considering her "disability". Here is the latest photo of Tippy, taken a couple of weeks ago.

I sheared her for the first time a few months ago. Here she is just before shearing

And here she is right after shearing - she's black underneath and her fiber/fleece fades to a beautiful silver/taupe color as it grows

She has a little sister named Angel, born in early May of this year. Fortunately, Angel was born with all her parts and pieces and has perfect angel wings and a halo to match! 

We had two additional kids born in April of this year - Baby Doe (one of my full Nigerian Dwarf does) had twins - a little brown female I named Celeste and a black male I named Moonbeam - here is Celeste (with her momma photo bombing)

And here is Moonbeam (on the left) He already thinks he's a stud muffin so I'm going to need to wean him soon!

And, we had a little surprise on Mother's Day this year! Last summer we put our miniature stallion (Nitro) in with our miniature mare (Paloma) and 318 days later I went out to do morning chores and found THIS in the horse shelter!

He was a little early so his legs were a bit of a train wreck but he quickly straightened out and is the spitting image of his sire! Meet Remington!

Remington's sire is "Nitro" - Running Creek's Destiny Royale

Remington's dam is "Paloma"

I've been busy with fiber arts here, too, but will save that for the next blog post. See you then!

Thanks for visiting and sharing our amazing life here at Split Rock Ranch!

Does anybody blog any more???

Now that so many people, including me, are using Facebook not only to connect with each other but to market and sell products as well, I guess blogging has taken a back seat. I'm not even sure people even look at blogs any longer! If you still visit blogs and are interested in seeing more posts about our ranch, please comment!! Thank you!

I'm BACK! Just a teaser post of what we have new going on here at the ranch

Review of the Eszee Twist Tool by Camaj Fiber Arts

I recently received an Eszee Twist Tool from Mary at Camaj Fiber Arts to test and review.

From the Camaj Fiber Arts website regarding the Eszee Twist tool:

The Eszee Twist Tool is a new product developed to help spinners make a balanced yarn every time. Not only is it a necessary tool for anyone beginning te craft of hand spinning yarn, it is a useful tool for experienced spinners as it provides a handy reference and gauge system that is easily portable and self-contained.

Have you ever spun a yarn with a specific pattern in mind only to find the yarn is not the right wpi for the pattern? Well, the handy dandy yarn thickness gauge will help avoid that issue.

Want to spin a yarn for weaving and not sure how large the angle of twist should be in the yarn? The easy to use angle of twist gauge will help you spin the yarn perfect for your weaving projects.

The kit comes with a plastic card that is a multi-function tool that functions as a yarn thickness guide, a WPI gauge, an angle of twist gauge and a guide to determine if the yarn was spun in the S or Z direction.

It also includes a full color 24-page manual and yarn planner, a magnifier that enables better yarn identification and a strudy zipper pouch that not only holds the kit but any other small goodies spinners need to carry, like a diz or orifice hook.

The Yarn Planner is an easy to use, step-by-step guide to assist you in spinning perfectly balanced yarns every time.

The Eszee Twist Tool will quickly become the most indispensable item in any spinning arsenal.

*****************************************************************************
I've been spinning for almost 15 years and still found much of the information to be useful. I have yet to figure out how the Angle of Twist Gauge works but maybe I just need to spend a little more time working on that part of the kit.

I think this Eszee Twist Tool will be a very valuable addition to a new spinner's arsenal.

You can buy your Eszee Twist Tool here: Eszee Twist Tool from Camaj Fiber Arts

Amazing Product! InstaNatural Stretch Mark & Scar Cream - Works Fabulous!

I recently had the opportunity to test and review another product. This one is InstaNatural's Stretch Mark and Scar Cream. I absolutely LOVE this product! It is smooth and creamy and little bit goes a long way. It smells wonderful, too. Per InstaNatural: The scent consists of the following notes: green fruity (pineapple, peach), floral, spice, herbaceous, creamy, woody, sweet.

I recently fell down the stairs off our deck and bruised, cut and scratched from under my right arm all the way down to my wrist. There were abrasions between my elbow and my wrist with a quarter sized gouge that left a good sized scab. When the scab finally came off, there was a scar and the tissue was purple and tender. I started using this cream on it and within a week the scar was almost gone! It is greatly reduced in size (smaller than a dime now) and is no longer purple and tender. I'm convinced that continued use of this cream will completely heal it up without leaving an unsightly scar. I can't wait to use it on my knee after I've had knee replacement surgery in December! (I'll wait until the incision is closed and starting to heal, of course.)

Product Description

Review of Hyaluronic Dew Serum and Pro-A Serum - Age Defense Eye Cream Bonus

I recently received a couple of serums from Body Merry to try out and review. I received a Hyaluronic Dew Serum and a Pro-A Serum.

The hyaluronic dew serum does seem to moisturize my face well. It is a gel consistency, which I'm still on the fence about. I personally prefer something a bit more like a lotion that a gel. This reminds me of aloe vera gel. You can find the Hyaluronic Dew Serum here on Amazon.

The Pro-A Serum is the same consistency - a gel - and it does seem to be helping to reduce the appearance of the lines and wrinkles on my face. You can find the Pro-A Serum here on Amazon.

I think I may add some pink grapefruit essential oil, some rosehip seed oil and some sea buckthorn oil to both of these products to see if that makes the scent and consistency more to my liking.

Product Description

Body Merry’s power packed duo of Hyaluronic Dew Serum and Pro-A Serum is perfect for those looking for an effective natural and organic formula to fight the signs of aging.

Hyaluronic Dew Serum:

Morning dew is nature’s reminder that we all need moisture to kick start our day. This premium hydrating serum contains plant derived Hyaluronic Acid that provides the perfect amount of ‘dew’ to last throughout the day. Antioxidants such as Vitamin C and Green Tea add that extra punch, leaving your skin smooth and nourished.

Pro-A Serum:

Much has been said about the power of Retinol in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and its not without reason. This professional grade 2.5% retinol serum lets you truly sink in all the goodness of Vitamin A. Plant derived Hyaluronic Acid adds the much needed hydration and Green Tea works its charm as a powerful antioxidant.

I also received a third product that I absolutely LOVE! I received Body Merry Age Defense Eye Cream. It is nice and creamy, goes on smoothly without being greasy, it smells great and it feels fabulous. You can find the Age Defense Eye Cream here on Amazon.

I would totally buy the Age Defense Eye Cream again. The serums I think I need to use a bit longer before deciding for sure.

Regardless, I know these products all help to moisturize my face and supply the proper nutrients to help stop the effects of the environment and aging, which I love!

This time the dogs got to test and review something - Bully Sticks from Best For My Pets!

I like the bully sticks better than rawhide chews, which I no longer give to my dogs. They really like raw bones to chew but giving them bully sticks as a treat is MUCH easier and MUCH less messy! 

All the dogs really love them, especially the standard poodles. It takes the toy poodles a lot longer to chew their way through one of these sticks. 

Here are Willow, Victoria and Kodiak giving the bully sticks four paws straight up!

You can see Willow has already finished HER bully stick and is creeping up on little Victoria, hoping to snag her stick. 

You can get the bully sticks on amazon.com here.

Insta Natural Deep Cleansing Facial Oil - Works great!

I recently had the opportunity to try out and review another product from InstaNaturals. This one is their Deep Cleaning Facial Oil. Here is what the company says about this product: 

Our Deep Cleansing Facial Oil contains the perfect blend of ingredients that melt away dirt, impurities and makeup without stripping the skin of its natural oils or disturbing the natural pH balance. This energizing blend of oils will gently clean your pores and remove dead skin cells, leaving your skin smooth and nourished.

Use with a washcloth or sponge and rinse off with warm water. Leaves a soft and silky feel on the skin. Wonderful for all skin types and especially regenerative for mature skin. Also great to calm skin after shaving or sun burns. Can be used to remove makeup - even mascara!

Key Active Ingredients:
+ Jojoba Oil
+ Olive Oil
+ Lavendar Essential Oil
+ Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil
+ Tamanu Oil
+ Hemp Oil
+ Sea Buckthorn Oil
+ Geranium Essential Oil

I was attracted to this product because I have used several other products made by this same company and I love them. When I looked at the list of ingredients I was thrilled that it contained nourishing natural oils and no harsh chemicals or ingredients that you can't pronounce, let alone know what they are or what they do. I was a bit concerned about cleaning my face with oil for fear that it would cause a break out but it didn't at all. This product does an excellent job of gently cleaning your face and leaves it moisturized and smooth. I have dry, sensitive, mature skin and am out in the elements several times a day. As a rancher, I spend a great deal of time in the sun and need products that will help repair the damage already done and prevent further damage to my skin. This product helps meet that goal. I use this cleanser in conjunction with other products from this company - vitamin C serum, Hyaluronic acid serum and the anti-aging facial moisturizer cream - and they work very well together. And, with a money back guarantee, what have you got to lose?! Give it a try!!

Summer is over...

Labor Day is behind us and Summer is pretty much over. We had a wet summer for a change, which was nice because it was getting really old loading up all our crates and cages to be prepared for evacuation due to wildfires. Because of the moisture, we have so much green grass (and weeds) coming up all over the property. The llamas are loving the grass in the pastures this summer! The greenhouse looks like something from the movie Jumanji.

I didn't even plant everything that is coming up in the greenhouse! In the center front is a vine that is some kind of squash. I assume it must have come from the seeds/feed that I gave the duck and chicks when they were in the greenhouse this past Spring. I set a bag of seed potatoes on the ground after planting some outside and in a potato pot and when I tried to move the bag a couple of weeks later, the bag came up but there were potato plants growing on the ground! I just piled some soil over them and let them go (that's mostly what is in the center of the greenhouse.) At the far center back is a tomato plant that is almost a tree/bush! It is loaded with tomatoes and I hope I can keep the greenhouse warm enough to harvest them when they're ready. There's another vine on the left, under the shelving, that I didn't plant and I assume it must be squash, the same as or similar to the one growing up front. I need to harvest the hot banana peppers that are so big and numerous they're making the plant flop over (back by the big tomato plant.) I think I'll try making some salsa using the peppers, tomatoes, basil and cilantro (which I didn't plant but it is coming up inside and outside the greenhouse.)

Outside the greenhouse is another lush paradise just loaded with blooms and fruits.

I planted a rhubarb plant up front against the greenhouse and it got HUGE. The potatoes are to the right of the rhubarb. Behind that is a raspberry bush that grew well but didn't produce any fruit this year, which is fine because I'd rather the plant get well established this year so that it makes it through the winter and will hopefully produce next summer. There are two lavender plants back in there, along with cilantro (that I didn't plant), two rose bushes, three different types of mint, peas (which I need to harvest today!) and a blackberry bush that didn't grow a lot but it was bare root so those take longer to mature.

A few weeks ago I made a strawberry/rhubarb pie using store bought fresh strawberries and rhubarb from the garden and OMG was it delicious! Maybe I'll try making some strawberry rhubarb sauce and can it. Or, I may take some of the rhubarb and wash it, cut it up into chunks and freeze it for use later this winter.

Because of all the moisture this summer, hay prices dropped so we were able to put up enough hay to get us through the winter and paid about half of what we paid the past couple of years. Later this week I'll do another post showing our two new hay "barns". We sheared the goats this summer and they look so cute with their curly locks growing back in. We also hatched out some chicks and added a few more to our flock - I'll post about chicks and goats later this week, too.

I know I've been neglecting this blog lately. With the exception of the posts I've done regarding product reviews, I haven't done much. My right knee is bone on bone and I need a knee replacement so this summer I didn't do nearly as much as I normally do so there wasn't that much to blog about!

Thanks for visiting - I hope you had a great Summer and are ready for Fall!

Mega Mesh Screen Door Review

Wow - I wasn't sure about this product but I was selected to review it so I accepted and have been impressed with it.

I didn't want to put it on one of our regular sized doors because I didn't want the dogs and cats to get out. So, I installed it on our sliding glass door and it works beautifully. It is a bit longer than our door height but that wasn't an issue.

It installed easily with the included velcro strips. One continuous strip goes across the top and I installed that on the metal of the stationary portion of the sliding door. I then installed velcro strips along the right hand side on the stationary part of the door frame. I then installed several velcro strips on the edge of the sliding glass door when it was open almost all the way. I could then either have the door all the way open or only partially open.

The dogs learned how to go through it in about two minutes so I am now able to leave the sliding glass door open all the way or halfway without having a gazillion flies enter the house. There are magnets installed where the two pieces of mesh meet in the middle and they are powerful enough to come back together quickly and easily after going through the screen.

We have a screen door for the sliding glass door but it was destroyed by previous dogs and we never repaired and reinstalled it because we figured the dogs would just destroy it again. So, we haven't been able to leave the sliding glass door open except when they fly population is small(er). The dogs love to go in and out into the fenced back yard so this has been a perfect solution. The flies collect on the outside of the screen but very few enter the house. Win/Win!!!

Soap Nuts Liquid Laundry Review

Recently I had the opportunity to test out some soap nuts liquid laundry detergent from Green Virgin Products. 

I used 1 pump in a small/medium load of light colored clothes but it didn't remove some of the stains so I increased the next load to 2 pumps and it worked better. Used with a homemade laundry detergent booster, it works even better. 

I have used soap nuts for laundry detergent for over a year now and I do find that the liquid is a bit easier to use and both do a good job of leaving my clothes smelling fresh. I use wool dryer balls so I haven't used fabric softener in a few years and with the soap nuts detergent I still have static-free clothes without using harsh chemicals to clean and soften my laundry!

You can find the soap nuts and soap nuts liquid at the Green Virgin Products website. Please go to their website to read about soap nuts, what they are, how they work, etc.

Tiger Nuts - They're awesome - who knew?!

Product Description

We are Tiger Nuts, and we are NOT Nuts!
