I hope you are all enjoying the beautiful fall colors-this is my FAVORITE time of the year!

I am sorry for the inconvenience of my website being down and not being able to access my fall newsletter. If you would like to receive a copy, send me an email and I can send you a pdf. file of it. thank you much. I hope my website will be up and running soon.

During the month of October, all sock yarn will have a discount of 10%. There are a lot of opportunities for knitting socks this month in my class schedule or just come and sit and knit in the studio :-).

Have a great day!

Llamas & Ernie welcome Kelly & Lady into family

Llamas are very curious about the new arrivals! several even made their alarm calls to warn others of the new family members :-). they will adjust. Kelly and Lady the most mellow animals we have ever had!! We hadn't intended on getting 2 but they were sisters and looked like they couldn't be separated. so far we have had to coax them off the porch, into the house, and just about everything we wanted them to do. Guess it will take time for them to play like dogs. Ernie, even tho he is very old, LOVES to play fetch with the tennis ball and these girls I don't think have ever played :-(. It is really sad-they are so beautiful! It will take time to get adjusted.

well, so much has happened since I last blogged. Daniel came home from school and Kari came home to help for shearing days and open house then went back to Grand Rapids to work for the summer. Shearing days went really good and a good time was had by all who attended. I will post some pictures later of some of the new llama dews :-) and the cute angora goats brought by Kris of Colorfield Farms in Fredonia.

Well, I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful Sunday!

sure sign of spring!!

These socks are made by Mary D. The socks are a kit by Skacel for Knit for the cure - Booby sock kit. it sells for $19.95 and each band on the sock deals with an aspect of mammogram. Mary says they were lots of fun to knit up and she is on her third pair! Mary is the speediest sock knitter I have ever known!

One of the neatest sign of spring is the arrival of the grosbeaks, Orioles, cardinals, gold finches, indigo buntings, and the many sparrows! I love feeding the birds and seeing them migrate through our yard! There is so much color under the feeder and on it! Yea... guess spring is finally here in spite of the weather. :-)

Now I wish it would just stop raining so the fields and pastures could dry out for planting and cleaning. There is just so much to do before open house and llama shearing day May 22-24.


take a look at http://www.bahrcreek.com/newsletter/BahrCreekSpring08.pdf for a schedule of shearing days. It will be fun days with lots of demonstrations.

Beautiful spring day!!

Wow, I Can't believe it has been over a week since I last posted on here. My parents were here for a visit last week then my daughter, Kari and her friend , and son Daniel came for the weekend. It was VERY busy but fun!

Today was a fun day with some euwww moments! My grandson was playing outside and I realized i hadn't seen him in a while so went out to look and found Ernie (our dog) just standing there . i tho't that weird so wnet to investigate and found lucas had walked into the runoff from the heifer barn! He was totally stuck in poop and mud!!! Poor kid!! he was stuck up to the knees! I couldn't pull him out w/o getting stuck myself so had to call his dad. Good thing for hoses outside!! Anyway, he loves telling everyone this story -only wish i had my camera! the adventures of farm life :-)!

On the cleaner side, i have been working on finishing up a Manos throw for one of my chix with stix. It turned out so awesome! I will post a picture of it as soon as it is off my camera.

The picture above are of some socks I have been working on using Regia-Kaffe Fassett Designer Line sock yarn! It is totally awesome and fun to work with! I just ordered and received a whole new shipment of it with scrumtious colorways for the shop. You will have to come check out the yarns!
