Ricky and Chrissy's Wedding 7/7/13

Busy Days at the Farm!

Hey Ya'll!

I'm crazy busy!!!

We are in the midst of summer growing season. Picking blueberries and strawberries, fighting bugs and ensuring all the vegs are keeping.

We are doing the Farmer's Market on Tuesdays, I'm selling yarn and bread, among other things. This week it was blueberries and kale.

Ricky is getting Married on Sunday

Ricky is getting his apartment ready in Knoxville for their move (they will be going to UT this fall!) Satch has been helping him move.

I borrowed a carder again and have been carding and blending fiber to make yarn.

I joined Tour de Fleece (a spinning activity that coincides with the Tour de France, while they ride we spin.) this year (my first) and I'm trying to spin every day. (I know, crazy with a wedding and everything else!) But, it is relaxing and very therapeutic during this busy time.

Ok, So, I've been using a friend's drum carder, making batts with my wool to sell or spin... trying to get ready for the Farmer's Market on Tuesdays (www.tuesdayfarmersmarket.com). I was hoping they would have put pics up from last week, but alas, they didn't. So this week I will have Mom take pics so we can post them here and on the FB page of the farmer's market and our booth.

In the mean time, here are some of the batts I've made and some dying I've been doing to get ready for Tour de Fleece!

Purple Batt (with firestar)

Alabama Sunrise Batt

Rainbow Batt

Gold alpaca roving

Rainbow fiber

Purple and blue in the dye pot

Alabama Sunset (has purple and blue suri)

So much to do!

So much more to do!

It has been a looong time since I posted... but I'm starting it back up again... primarily for the Tour de Fleece on Ravelry.com. I will be spinning yarn for my farmer's market booth to sell... so I need a lot of yarn and I'm going to challenge myself to get a lot done.

The sheep are sheared and the fleeces are getting washed. Next to dye them, card or comb them and prep them for spinning. I'll get some pics up soon!

See ya'll soon! :)
