DENIM

Inspired by this wonderful blog, I decided to try making some denim earrings for my youngest grand daughter. Once those were done, I kept looking at the remains of the jeans I had long since "outgrown." Here they are chopped up and made into a bag for the same young lady. I used the zipper fly for the bag opening and the waist band for the sides.

Name: finnsheep

Location: Lords Valley, Poconos, Pennsylvania

I live on a farm that has been in the Hatton family since 1859. My seven acres used to be home to Finnsheep, a rare breed from Finland. Only a few hundred are registered in the USA every year. Finnsheep are known for large litters of lambs and wool that has a very soft hand and high luster - - very popular with handspinners. I have been spinning the wool from my sheep since the mid-80's. I am no longer breeding Finnsheep, and gave the last of them away last summer. I am in the process of learning what a tremendous thrill it is to put a spinning wheel back in condition to do what it was made for! I probably have a couple of wheels and winders for sale at any given time. Don’t hesitate to ask about them. Also please visit my etsy store http://finnsheep.etsy.com
