Keep on knitting, keep on knitting...

So I may have mentioned before my pal Zoe..pictured here and looking stunning in a knitted hat from Hoppin Hill Farms.

Zoe has a rare form of brain cancer and is currently undergoing chemo. She is rockin' the hat look due to her hair falling out fast and furious. She looks good in hats...ok she looks adorable in anything!

In true Zoe style, the first thing she asked me today was "how was the goats" despite the fact the kid has been through Hell the last few days getting a G tube put in and having a radiation treatment and probably feeling like complete crud.

Kids, they are super amazing sometimes.

oh and yes, I am now her exclusive hat maker...I've found 2 new patterns and will be knitting the night away :)

Nothing says "I love you" like a faux mustache

It doesn't take a whole lot to make a bunch of teenage girls happy.
$2.00 worth of yarn and some knitting skills.

viola! faux mustaches!

Meet Baxter and Skippy...our new farm friends!

So Here are the newest additions to our farm! 2 Nubian goat boys, they seem to have settled right in..what a funny ride home in the van it was! Both are very well behaved and just cute as can be! Brendan is already asking if he can sleep out in the goat pen with them tonight!

When the Divas get together...all kinds of mischeif occurs

The Diva's spent the day on Federal Hill in Providence Rhode Island!
This is where we had lunch!

When shopping it's very important to keep hydrated! Here Dawn demonstrates how to do it properly.

Here is Dawn striking a stunning pose in De Pasquale Square!

My turn! My turn!!!

oh and yes, it's me and the giant metal chicken!

Time Flies when your havng fun!

Phew! It's been a busy month! So pictured above is Skippy and Baxter
our two newest additions to Hoppin Hill Farm, nubian goats.

Both are males, and just the cutest little guys with friendly little dispositions.
yes, we were going to get females at first..but the prospect of milking twice a day in the
middle of February and freezing my fingers off kind of changed my mind
it's all good that the children were going to "do the milking"
but after realizing they were neglecting their cat's litter box
I figured they were never going to milk frozen goats
I love my teenagers and their intentions are good...but let's be realistic.


so! that being said, we went with the boys :)
