Chick in a hat


I just couldn't help but try out the minature hat and scarf that I made on one of our new chicks! She wasn't too impressed. When the power went out last month I seriously thought I might have to be knitting 40 of these to keep them warm! Thanks to the generator we didn't lose any of the babies. Whew! Good idea to raise the girls through the winter IF we don't have a cold winter. We look forward to the yummy eggs these girls will give us in the spring.

Christmas at The Barn Store


Wow! I knew it had been a while since I posted anything on my blog but I didn't realize it had been since October. I promise to do better in the new year.
I've got lots of things for Christmas gifts in the store.....granola, trail mix, jam, honey and of course, lots of knit things. Who wouldn't love to have an alligator scarf? I've got some lovely holly to add to your home or wreaths. I'm going to collect a few huge spruce cones from a friend. Think of something fun to do with those. I'd love to tell you that we have eggs but the chickens are taking a bit of a break through the winter. They just don't like these short days. We're open every day, as usual, so stop by and browse.
