KIDS DAY!

KID'S DAY IS TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  WE CAN'T WAIT!  HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

Dying and Spinning!


This weekend I decided I MUST get back to those things I love, even if it means virtually no sleep. Here is some wonderful wool I got through my Yankee Fiber Friends group. It was white and I used natural dyes to change it to this pretty blue. Then I spun it and used 2 plying techniques. I did a double ply with a majority of it and then I decided to try Navajo plying with about 1/4 of it - mostly because you can do that off one skane and it made it easier on me :) Now I have to decide what to make with it. The rules are that I can add anything to the project EXCEPT more wool. I'm thinking a mini felted purse although i couldn't come close to the beautiful felted purses we sell of Sarah's Satchels...Maybe a hat...

Wow!  Sorry about the loooong delay in posting!  I've been keeping up on the facebook and neglecting the blog!  I am back on track now!  I'm going to post a little bit here and there of the past month.  I will start with our latest bee installation and increasing my earlier hive body.  Jeff and I took classes together this past winter and he came over to help me out.  You can check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8sVz7FmLlw  The bees are looking good and producing lots of comb and honey!

I've found my newest favorite flower - the Dalhia and bought a few plants to appreciate for a bit until they are sold


Hunter has helped me feed the bees along with Emma and Kaylah and Gracie and Emma!





And the goats continue to grow and grow!!!!
