Ok, now, just how many of us are owned by Shelties?
so far I count Noreen, Jenn and me. Anyone else? LOL, I'm owned by some of the barenakedest dogs out there! Greyhounds. Which means I'd better get knitting 'cos I had the audacity to move them from Southern California to Washinton state. They are going to need coats and leg warmers!! How funny if I made them coats out of Sheltie fur yarn? Laurie Washougal, WA |

I just had the funniest image of a dog going bonkers sniffing himself
because of a sweater made from dog hair! I'm owned by a Beagle - which could explain the sniffing image :P Does anyone else have a beagle?

Cheers......Cher It's been in storage for quite awhile, and the move from Wisconsin to Tennessee caused some things to loosen. Don's a woodworker/carpenter by trade, and has promised to take it apart and put it all back together for me. As long as it's apart, I want to refinish it too.... can't stand that orange-y shellac-y colour.... I like medium oak finishes...

Me too Ophelia, the one I had, was in a skip, chucked out,and the previous
owner had tried to varnish it,and had dripped it everywhere.......ugh....so first some wire wool, scrubbed it down, wetted cloth and wiped all over it, then let that thoroughly dry the next day I painted it with a good linseed oil, let that soak in, in the air but in the shade, then that night I did the same, the next morning, it looked healthier and thankful for it's drink, then next two evenings I beeswaxed it......brilliant. Now I do it when I feel like it. There are some housecleaning pages out there somewhere that should help Noreen. If someone knows the url, please post it...It may not really need taking apart, but it can be done. I did this to mine, before I even knew much about spinning.

Ophelia, have you got the booklet which says how to put it together?? I
have but my scanner isn't working, I thought maybe if you had, you could scan it in for Noreen so that she can print it off to look at...Cheers.....Cher "Ophelia" wrote in message ...
