Sorry I didn't get this posted last night.

Harmony's fan just have to add some ribbons and flowers.

So I missed posting last night. Yesterday was a long day. Dan got his first pay check. Yay!!!!! After he was done getting some work done we went and cashed is check and went and had some lunch. After lunch we picked up the girls and then it started. Most all week Amber had time to get help with he missing school work and she choose to not get the help and just goof off. So once again we have the talk about how she needs to get her school work done and how impotent it is. Also explained to her that lying to me is disrespectful to me and that she need to listen to me and do as I say. Amber started her cryin act and was told we are not goin to buy that. She asked if she could have a sleep over at the house and was told that when she gets her school work done, does what she is told, and stopped the attitude she can have a sleep over. After the talk we went and put in our meat order and then got the food for the goats.As we were headin to Wal-mart to get some things Amber once again pulled her manipulation act. She got a call from her day and she asked him if she could have a sleep over when she is with him on his weekend. This was very hurtful. I ended up having to call her father and tell him what was goin on and why I was not lettin her have a sleep over. He said he would back me up on it. I hope he does. So once again it was a talk with Amber about how she can't do stuff like that. That she needs to stop the "if I can't do it at mom's how all do it and dads" stuff she has been pullin. once we got to Wal-Mart Amber had calmed back down so we could get the shoppin done and have a good night. We got most of what we needed but I was very upset with the fabric department. I was looking to get some fabric stiffener for some projects I have done and the lady there had no clue what i was talking about. So I just got some Elmer's glue to see if it would work. So we get home and have some dinner and sit down to watch a movie. I didn't get any crocheting done :(. but I did get the glue stiffener to work and put it on Harmony's fan that I made her. I think I'm going to crochet a vest for my mom for mothers day. Have to get the yarn and find a good pattern. So with dealing with Amber and all the shoppin last it it was a long day. I well say that the goats are gettin better about not being scared or people, so that is a good thing.

So this is Amber's bag/purse that I made it. It's my own design. First time I made something that I came up with. She really likes it. She is going to make the handle for it since she is learning how to crochet. 

Flowers and Goats

So today was another good day. It was the first full day with the new babies. I finally got both to take the bottle. I decided the best way for them to get used to being around people was to be in the pen with them. So today after I get them feed I set up my lawn chair and had my crocheting with me and spent about an hour with the goats. Diablo didn't like my crochet bag hanging on the arm of my chair so he sat there and head butted it for about five minuets. It was really cute. Zeus and Hades got used to me being in there and came and layed down by my feet. They still stiff up when you go to pet them and still run a bit when you try to pick them up but they are getting better. As I was out there with them I was working on some crocheted flowers and the panes for the lanterns I'm working on. As I was out there I was tryin to think of what I can do with the flowers so I thought I would turn them into headbands for the girls. I used my green thread and crocheted five flowers together and then I going to get some thin headbands and attach the flower row to it. I need to get some fabric stiffener for the lantern and finish the top and I'll have it done. It's been fun making these small items as I never really care for making them before, but I have enjoyed it. I just don't know what to do with them once I get them done. Some say I should sell them but I don't think that anyone would buy them. Here is a pic of what I got done today. Sorry about the dark back ground all I have to pin them on is my keyboard lap stand. SShhhh don't tell Dan I have been puttin holes in it. Hehe Both the girls had school today so it was a bit quiet till they got home. They are still doin the Csap or now called Tcap tests. I think they are a waste of time. They could take this time to teach the kids not judge them. Well thats all for tonight. Gonna work on some more flowers or something. If anyone has any ideas of something I can work on feel free to let me know cause I'm really startin to run out of ideas.

New babies

Its been a good day today. Dan and I had a meeting here at the museum with all the other workers to see whats coming up this year here at the farm. Amber didn't have school today so she was here with us. We had her go out and play with her goat. After the meeting we took a trip out to Fruita and got our 2 new baby goats. They are soooooo cute!!! They are both lil boys. One is named Zeus and the other is Hades. Yes I love Greek Mythology. Zeus was born on 3/3 and is white and black. Hades was born 3/17 and is mostly black but has tan legs and a white spot on his head and one on his left side. They are both so cute. Zeus has been on the bottle before but Hades was only on his mom so we thought that we would have to work with Hades to get him to take the bottle. Boy was I wrong. Once he got the bottle in his mouth we knew what to do. Zeus on the other hand is given us the hard time. But we well get through it. On Monday we get to pick up our last 2 babies. We get 2 females!!! The boys are in the top picture and the girls are in the bottom 2 pics. I was hoping to have a new clue for my mystery afghan that I have been working on but no new clue today. The project is through Berant and they decided to give us a week to get caught up. Sad thing is I have everything done so I need to find something else to work on this week. Got any ideas? Dan would like a MP3 player holder to go on his arm but i have to get some elastic first. So not sure what to make. I guess I could start on the lantern I found the other day and get some of them done but not sure. I also have to get the tags put on the Christening gown I made that I'm selling to my daughters teacher. Just don't seem to have the drive to get that done. Just have to try to think of something to work on before I go crazy.

Here are the girls they don't have names yet. Any ideas for some? Would like to stay with the Greek Mythology theme.

Crochet and goats!!!!

Athena is the tall white one, Hera is the tan one and Diablo is the lil one

First off crochet and goats DONT mix. No matter how cute they are they well eat what you are working on and cause you to have to start all over. That being said let me introduce myself. My name is Trina Tencza, soon to be Rosenbaum. I live in Grand Junction, Co. I also live on a historical farm that is part of the museums here in town. My soon to be hubby, Danny Rosenbaum, is now the grounds keeper of the farm and as part of the job we get to live on the farm!. Its been great. We have only been here for about two months but it has been wonderful. I am still trying to get unpacked, a large tack that never seems to end. As part of living here with my fiance i also have my two daughters here. They are Amber Rose age 14 and Harmony Leigh age 12. With being on the farm the girls get to learn how to take care of farm animals. Right now we have a pygmy goat and two Alpine kids. The alpines kids are for my daughters 4-H projects.  We also have 6 chicks that right now live in the house. Here soon we well be getting 3 more pygmy goats, 2 pigs and 2 baby cows. Its been great with the goats we have so far. We have got them young enough to where they have to be bottle feed. So every four house we start the task of filling Mt. Dew bottles with the goat formula and go out and feed these 3 goats. It has been a lot of fun. Going back to what i first stated about crochet and goats don't mix. Well this started when we got the first goat. He is a little pygmy goat and we got him when he was only 3 weeks old. Well my wonderful fiance thought it would be good for the goat to not only be in the house with us but also to let him up on the couches just like the dogs. After all he was the same size as the dogs, 6 chihuahuas and a Yorkie. So as I'm sitting on the couch working on a new project and not thinking about the goat just down from me. I get up to get a drink and come back with my item in the goats mouth and him as happy as can be. He did not chew to much of it up but i did end up starting over. This went on for a few weeks as i started to remember that if I'm getting up so is my crochet. Once we got the other 2 goats I had banned them all to the kitchen and their sleeping boxes at night and the pen during the day. But, now that it has gotten warmer they are now banned from the inside of the house. I love the goats but they no longer need to be in the house. After all they are farm animals and not dogs or cats. Yes some may feel different then I do and that is fine. But for me the farms animals need to stay out of the house. I can't wait till the chickens are older so they can also go outside.
