Another busy week here at the farm. Last Sundays farmers market at the Johnson county fairgrounds was great. we had a nice steady turn out and everyone seemed to be in a great mood for some holiday shopping. The last two days  I have been painting skeins and working on an indigo vat.  Yesterday I dyed a bunch of Peace fleece skeins in indigo. They turned out so nice I can't  wait  to get them out to the store for knitters. I also worked on silk scarves and cotton project bags. Here is a pic of the rack in my studio with lots of  drying  blues.

 

I have made it through another year of gardening. Most of the gardens are cleaned up the last harvest is in.  We had leeks and ducks for Thanksgiving and celebrated the bounty of food on the farm.
      It is not New Years yet but  I am vowing to do more blogging. I am setting a goal of once a week.  My new motto will be blog by wednesday.  I have been  doing more posting on the Fae Ridge Farm face book page.  If you want to see  what I have been up to in the last few months go cheek it out.
       I have been busy getting the store ready for the holidays. I once again have alpaca socks in lots of sizes and  have some wonderful new cloth gift bags (pics on face book). This week  I have been spinning, painting skeins, making slippers and mittens from  felted wool sweaters.
