And I'm sure you've heard that Kiwis are very fond of sheep, so no doubt I'll be tempted to put up more pics.山頂2号https://www.blogger.com/profile/16897980201095818949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6335904344851945665.post-24272205877700804812008-08-29T08:05:00.000-07:002008-08-29T08:05:00.000-07:00What a coincidencethey fit you...lol.

I wouldn't mind trying the natural dye extracts - what varieties do they offer? Maybe we could share.<BR/>The madder red might have been beginner's luck, although I did watch the temperature like a hawk.
