It's flannel time. I'll take flannel sheets over silk or infinity thread-count anytime. I got this set at Target almost by accident. I overheard a lady give someone directions that included, "just past the sheep". Did I really hear "sheep". I looked to where she had sent the other customer...Whoa Moma!- there they were. And on sale, to boot. What a sweet, sheep sleep I will count on tonight.
This ma has a lot to keep track of. All the lambs were collected or given to me at different times and came together to form a mini-flock. One lambie always seems to be exploring on its own and may get lost. But The Good Shepherd always keeps watch. His sheep know His voice.
This is a fave of mine. It was given to me by another fave, Lisa Lou, for Christmas 2000. Actually, it's just Lisa, but she does have beautiful red hair, too. A sheep is wooly a girl's bestfriend. You can't cuddle a diamond!
I was at a very different and memorable place when this sheep was purchased. He reminded me of the ram caught in the thicket. A substitution sent by God, to Abraham, to become the blood sacrifice, instead of Isaac, Abraham's son. It was October 8, 2000 and I had decided to celebrate my birthday in a way that would make me cherish life: grateful for the one Handcrafted just for me. I went to the Dallas Holocaust Museum and took the headset tour. I stood in a boxcar, the cattle car that was actually used to rail people to their deaths. Death sentences meted out, simply because of their belief. Six million Jews and another four million so-called 'human misfits', were slaughtered by evil men. And by good men who chose to do nothing to stop it. Remember. Always remember.November 9, 2006 marks the 68th Anniversary of Kristallnacht (The Night of Broken Glass). Nazis, along with Hitler's Youth and the SS, destroyed Jewish owned businesses, synagogues and murdered 91 Jews. Some 25,000 men were rounded up and later sent to concentration camps. The brutality lasted into the next day and launched the war of hate on the Jews of Germany.
Vote for ewe. Vote for ewe. This sheepy plaque was purchased at a deeply discounted price from a Hobby Lobby trying to purge its Spring-Summer stock. This candidate is running on a grass-roots platform, and is both hot and cold on the sink issues.
Happy sheep with happy feet envelope. It held a SASE and Easter card for me to sign and send on to my World Vision child, Nomalinge, in South Africa. She will be 12 yrs old on November 10. Happy Birthday, sweet girl. Grow strong in Jesus, for He cares for you...Always. He's got the whole world in His hands.
All the way from England. I fell in love with the Wallace and Gromit movies and this is Shaun, a character, from A Close Shave. It's a backpack and was purchased on eBay in March 2002. Baggage without a guilt-trip. Kewel.
Not the scariest form of pumpkin face, but it is sheepish. I carved this for Halloween in 2002. It was before the white pumpkins became color du jour and therefore- pricey. Boooo!! I mean Baaaa, but in a scary voice.
Hallmark was kind enough to sell me the very best, Merino Woolmore and Chauncey...The Speedsters. It's from The Boyds Collection and was purchased Sept. 2, 2000. The escargot, he has, how you say, a cargo. Happy Trails.
Karol, a friend of 35 years, gifted this to me. (35??whew!) But I think the von Trapp family will drop by later to claim their puppet.
This little cutie came in an email today. It was one of several Halloween baby pics. A Sweet Lamb, most likely 'pampered'.
One of the first eBay purchases from March 2002, when I found I was getting my new house. Of course, it needed to be furnished with all things sheep. Always sheep time here.
Wow. A hand-thrown mug with a sheep on it. A find on eBay from two years ago that made this potter, who collects sheep, ecstatic. I think he's adorable and functional, too. Handled with caa-are.
Spring girl. Literally, as she has one that lets her body bounce about like a bobblehead. I bought her in a hospital gift shop last year. See the lovely flower on her head? Well, hummingbirds see it through the window, too. I've watched them try to sip from her head many times. Is that a flower on your head, or are you just happy to see me?
These were toys in the Subway children's meal. I went to their site when I heard about the give-a-way, and what should arrive in the mail- the whole set. Kudos, Subway. Kewel.The toys are based on the hawk-dove cartoon, Sheep In The Big City. A weapon that runs on sheep power and the sheep not willing to be the fuel. It's no longer being made, but the few episodes were worth the watch. Run, Sheep, Run. Baaa!
I do better with this blog, as all the pics are waiting in a folder. I just have to pick a pic. A few words and hit Publish. And then, Sheep's On! But should you wish to subscribe to this blog, please do so and an email will be sent to you when a new entry is logged.
Cheap sheep! They were in a pack of paper plates- about $1.79. They look a little like the apes, actually chimps, from the original Planet of the Apes movies, though. OK. Just so's they don't take over the house and start talkin'.
I stood in line for 3 hours the day I bought this blue-eyed girl, all decked-out in her fine chapeau. I attended a talk and a Wedgwood signing by the Duchess of York on Sept. 27, 2000. As the line wandered through Dillard's various departments, there she was being used as a prop in the bedding area.(the sheep, not Fergie) Got a signed platter and a sheep that day. Are you being served, Lady Grey?
OK. So this really isn't a sheep. Just a bear with a majorly, wooly identity crisis. This cutie also resides on the shelf over my desk at work and he was given to me by a dear friend, Dorothy. I feel fluffy. Oh, so fluffy.
This little stuffed guy holds a picture of one of my most favorite guys, my Daddy. The lambie sits on the shelf above my desk and was given to me by a co-worker. Olive-ewe, Daddy.
