If you remember, we were just recently chatting about using our home grown yarns in combination with accents from other favorite places. Over the weekend, Mom picked out this pretty sport weight combo - Black Bear from our flock and a skein of Making Tracks from Junction Fiber Mill - and I love it! She’s participating in a knit along to make the Thistle Thorn Cowl, and it’s going to be a stunner. I can’t wait to see how the black wool makes those brights pop!

Yarns:

FRIENDS. It makes me so happy to see you at market! My heart positively sings when you spy the yarn & roving at my farm stand, your hands squishing those skeins before your voice can eke out an excited exclamation.

I love it because I GET YOU.

In that moment, you’re feeling the sheep that grew the wool, that ate mere grass and turned it into clothing!

You’re embracing with me the joy of the work in sun and rain and snow to tend the land and keep it for generations to come.

And your fingers itch just like mine to touch that delightful fiber that melds textile and agriculture.

So I say to you: THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart! Thank you for showing up to support local, sustainable agriculture. For meeting the farmers of your regional water, food, and Fibershed.

Let’s keep growing!

Rainy day in the pasture. Meanwhile, the sheep continue to turn grass into cozy wool. 🥰

Let’s talk about Midsummer Night. 🌹 It reminds me of ~

🖤 The sun setting late at the end of sticky, sweet summer days.

🖤 The rolly-polly rasp of the katydids on sultry August evenings.

🖤 The lazy porch-sitting rest after a day of work or play in the sun.

🖤 The cool shower and fresh clothes when dressing up for a summery date night in the countryside.

🖤 The Van Fleet roses blooming their hearts out next to the old farmhouse.

The inspiration for this soap came from sweet Sarah and the perfect rose petals she picked from her grandmas’ farm houses. I’ve used those very petals to top this gorgeous black soap. 🌹 And with other ingredients like raw honey and calendula extract, it’s irresistible.

I’ll have this soap for you this Friday at the Susquehanna Valley Growers Market in Lewisburg, and it’s already on shelves at Ag Pro in Turbotville and H&K Nursery and Feed Store in Montoursville. Pick some up for yourself and feel the love! ✨🌹🖤

Made right here with farm fresh ingredients in my humble kitchen. Roses from my farm & other local farms, pressed sunflowers from local farms, raw honey from my apiary… farm life in Pennsylvania is grand!

August garden vibes.

Great job! You guessed it right away: a small square baler. The weather and the field were fit last week, so we made a bit of hay the sheep will enjoy later this winter. 🐑 Many, many thanks to the friends who came to help stack the hay in the mow! 🙌
