*************** Friday at the Farm!!****************
Hi Everyone! We're on target for Friday at the Farm here at my studio on our farm in Oak Hill this Friday, April 6, from 1-5 p.m. I do hope you can join us for an afternoon filled with the 4 Fs: fun, food, fiber, and friends. Whether you're a beginner or experienced knitter- no difference! We love seeing what everyone is working on! My motto is: if you can knit and purl, you can own the world!! Freshly baked cookies, beverages and other snacks are always the order of the day! And remember, Jack is usually around to give tours of the farm and to give you a chance to meet the alpacas up close and personal!
*****************New Smyrna Beach Farmers Market******************
Weather permitting, Jack and I will be setting up our double booth at the Farmers Market this Saturday, 4/7, from 7 a.m.- 12:30 p.m., located on Sams Ave., in front of NSB City Hall. We will have our usual array of goodies- artisan cheeses; certified organic goats milk soaps; alpaca teddy bears; finger puppets; our own gorgeous alpaca yarns- natural and dyed in all weights; adorable felted bags from Nepal; paua shells and buttons from New Zealand- the list goes on and on! Stop by if you can, if just to say "hi"!
************************Shearing Day 2018************************
Jack and I are busy gearing up for Shearing Day 2018, which will happen this year on Sunday, as usual, April 29. We usually get underway around 9:30 and wind up 1:30-ish. Matt Moore, our shearer, and his wife(!), Meghan, as well as friends, family and students from the FFA program at NSB High School, will help out. Continental breakfast, beverages, and munchies will be served throughout the day. Last year we had 107 spectators- by the way, we do it in "Jack's garage", so it is rain or shine! I always point out that less than 2% of the American population lives on farms anymore. This is your chance to see our unique set-up and spend an enjoyable day with us!
