New rabbits

We picked up the two new rabbits at the Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival.  The festival was overwhelming and fun.  We learned a lot about goats and switched our focus from Pygoras to Angoras.  We forgot about the other booths and animals and headed for the rabbit barn.  Before we knew it, we were picking up the two rabbits from Daisy Hill Farm and headed home.  We missed the whole Alpaca barn and my friend, Cathy!  The rabbits have been here 4 days now and seem to be settling in really well.  After just a few times of being held and let out to play and groomed, and of course papaya treats, they now look forward to me walking into the barn.  The doe has turned out to be a lovely rabbit, very sweet and absolutely stunning fiber.  The boy has a most unusual color and has begun to warm up to me.  

I've decided to rename them after getting to know them a little bit but haven't decided yet.  A friend recommended some names and we might go with Bonzo for the boy.  I haven't decided for the doe yet. 

I found Princess Pink yesterday morning with hay overflowing from her mouth.  She was on a mission to building a nest inside her hutch box.  I again found her at it this morning.  I am piling in the hay and she is making her nest.  I am a little worried because we really need her to nest in a nest box not in her hutch box.  Hopefully she'll make her new nest in the nest box when we set it in tomorrow.  We still have 2 weeks.  But she is definitely acting pregnant ! Yay!! 

I finally learned how to spin on a top whorl drop spindle.  Here is my very first yarn!
