More Double Trouble

I have a flock of (needle felted) sheep headed to the Artisan Center in Berea, Kentucky, this week. Here is one of my new favorites.



Every sheep I make has his or her own unique personality, just like our real life sheep. In fact, I've had custom orders for a particular sheep in a particular pose and as I start working I've been told "I'm not hungry. I want to look at something over there!" And, try as I will, their heads will not stay down grazing, but in fact end up looking up, right where they want.

You can also guess that once they are given babies, they are not to be separated. This momma does look a little frazzled, but you know there is no way she'd ever let those babies out of her sight ;-).

True Kentucky

Yesterday my friend Charlotte and I made a trip to Glendale, Kentucky. I had a flock of sheep to deliver to True Kentucky and we decided to make a day of it. Glendale is a small town with a true "small town" feel just outside Elizabethtown, complete with a train running right through, lots of nice shops, antique stores and a fabulous place to eat lunch. There were actually several interesting restaurants and cafes, but we were inspired to try The Depot and were absolutely not disappointed. I had THE BEST vegetable plate! I'm a pretty good eater, but if I'm still talking about something the next day, then you know it was outstanding ;-).

This was my first trip to True Kentucky as well, and again we were absolutely not disappointed. Annette has a beautiful store and I am very proud to have some of my favorite sheep on her shelves. Here is a picture of the kids on her front porch.


True Kentucky is located at 452 E Main Street on the "outskirts" of Glendale, and you can walk from there to all the shops and restaurants "downtown". The drive from Lexington took about an hour and a half, but the good company and beautiful Kentucky scenery made the time just fly by. I can't think of a nicer way to shop for the holidays.
