It seems the woolly threesome are having a great time globe-trotting from blog to blog.
Yesterday they visited America and have now headed off to another destination.
This morning's post brought a postcard from New Zealand and I guessed this was to be their next stop. But I was wrong! The sheep were heading for Little Jenny Wren in Tasmania which is a beautifully picturesque island south east of the Australian mainland. Visitors to this blog will find the sweetest dolls, all lovingly made by Jenny. The woolly sheep who lives with Jenny has made special friends with a little dolly named Beth who is soon to be travelling to her new home in Canada. How exciting!
Meanwhile, back home in England, Lilac the lamb found Tasmania on her map and immediately wondered how her friends were going to travel there from New Zealand as there was such a lot of water to cross. If only she'd known!
Foolishly the woolly threesome had rented a raft and headed off (at night) across the wide ocean. By the look of it the voyage was a rough one.
Thankfully I can tell you that they have all arrived safely at Little Jenny Wren's blog and wasted no time in meeting their new Tasmanian cousin and his pretty dolly friend Beth who gave each little sheep a big cuddle.
Where will they travel to next?
The travelling Flutterby flock think it would be great fun to find woolly cousins to visit in 10 blogs around the world. They have called their blog-trotting adventure .....
AROUND THE WORLD IN 10 BLOGS
You will find a link to more details by clicking on this picture in my sidebar. If you use the sheep pattern (also in the sidebar) to knit your own little sheep just picture it on your blog and leave a comment at Flutterby Patch to let me know. I will link to your blog and add it to the list which just might grow to 10 names.
Until next time,
Eli

It's lovely having your three sheep visit. They hardly eat any grass and not surprisingly they have slept a lot after their amazing journey. I think they might prefer a airplane journey next.

You have a sheep travelling in Belgium for the moment. Go and take a look at my blog!
It took me one evening to make, and it was real fun!

I love these adventures, the raft is really fun even if they do look a little sea sick, where to next I wonder.
