Baby Chicks

So, on Sunday, January 27, 2013, we took the three kids to the Saint Pete main post office to collect our baby chicks. It is so cool to see these brown, black and yellow chicks grow into various beautiful colors. They are separated from the older girls, who sit under the chicks run waiting for their vitamin water or feed to drop through. Will post new pics soon! I'm hoping to get away from the studio/store and spend the weekend at the farm.

Too Many Tomatoes?

Fresh Tomatoes from Our Farm

Roma, Florida Ugly, simply yummy ripe tomatoes....day one - salsa (pico de gallo), day two - can, day three - can, day four - can...day five...more salsa...

So, for all of you who love our salsa picante....I'm not making it for you, but happy to share my recipe. I believe foods should be full of colors, so dice where you can see the vibrant reds, dark greens and whites. And here goes:

5 large tomatoes
5 green onions, some of the green part included
2 fresh jalapenos
1/2 white onion
1 nice bunch of cilantro
3 garlic large gloves
salt to taste
2 tablespoons vinegar

Small dice all the veggies and mix in one large bowl. Add salt and vinegar. Serve with corn chips or put on top of a yummy cooked steak.

Enjoy!

We had our first knitting class last night and it was quite fun. It was nice to see gals of all ages and skill levels. We were supposed to be joined by a young man, but he never showed. Let's hope for next class.

No pictures to post today, but I promise to follow up with some soon.

We are making some changes to our store hours which I think most will appreciate.

If you are looking to buy raw fleece, I have finally placed some in the store. Yesterday we sold a pound of fleece from Blackberry - a black fleece. It is so nice to see people interested in spinning alpaca!

Happy New Year, everyone!

We had a exciting 2012 with the store opening in September. It was a joy watching all the excitement on everyone's face as they entered the store for the first time. We have put together a class schedule - we have knitting, crochet, nuno felting and kids jewelry beading!

My friend Gerri stopped by and helped me warp my Harrisville Design Loom for my very first time. Thank you! I have this amazing scarf waiting to be finished! We also sell the dje handwovens kits in the store. So easy, the yarn is already measured and cut for you!

Newsletters and Blogging are all new for me. Well, being on the writing end. So, if you want to add your two cents, please do so. I promise I will get better and not bore you! Pictures will be clearer.
