BUT... in the background..... I saw this rockin' barn.

So, again, feeling even more impolite and downright rude, I walked to the neighbors to ask the same question.
There, I met the kindest man who eagerly invited me into his yard/farm.
"Wow, was about all I could say. Wow!"

In addition to the barn there was an outhouse, 2 colorful miniture buildings, and pens for goats, alpacas, and sheep. Their yard was/is breathtaking!

He told me to break out the camera and bring the girls to see the baby sheep that was born earlier this week. Sadly only one of the twin sheep survivied (tiny pang to my heart), but we were able to have a look. Mother sheep let us know that petting would not be happening today. We fed the goats, held the kitties, and even played on the playground for a bit while I visited with a truly darling couple.

In observance of "Once Upon a Thread" I wanted to create a pair of capri pants with Pippi Longstocking style and sass. My hope was to make a pair of flat front trousers with back elastic that had gathered treasure pockets as well as gathering and bias tape at the hem.

Out came my enemy the seam ripper, and some modifications were made to finish these cute play pants off.

So keep your eyes peeled for the pippi pants (shorts). Once Izzy recovers from today's immunizations, I'll hopefully get a few pictures of Izzy Longstockings.
[Oh, and not only have we been invited back, Ann has ordered a skirt, a capri, and shorts for her granddaughters. Oh.... and our new friends' names are Dan and Ann like Where the Red Fern Grows. Apparently all things are coming up reading today.]
