This is John with some of his Highlanders. Arwen the 2 yr. old is so jealous of the little calves. She can't stand it that they are getting all the attention.

 

Jane thought it would be amusing to put a "Bulls Eye" on my blog! I thought she was talking about one of those red circle things not a real bulls eye. Good grief! 

Well, well, well. I was going to be really nice to Jane this month because as you all know babies are happen on Highland Hollow Farms and I do share a name with the farm. Well, generally I don't let her write about anything but ME. Because it is always about ME. I thought I would be nice and let her put as many pictures of her baby sheep and cattle as she wanted to. Well, idiot girl forgot her camera. (ha, ha!!) She assured me she wouldn't forget tomorrow. We will see. Sometimes I feel kinda sorry for this human. (not)
So tomorrow we will hopefully see some baby pictures.

I have to admit they are kind of cute.

Jane is in need of posting some Highlander calf pictures so I will let her.

Anita Straub sang Last Friday night and was she WONDERFUL!!!!!!

Friday, April 21st 7:00-9:00 pm Anita Straub, singer-songwriter will be here!!! She is so good. If you get a chance please come out and hear this woman sing she is wonderful!!!

Friday poetry open mic. turned out to be a Great event. We will be having poetry open mic. night again.

Anyway Steve presented his wife and daughter with some cool certificates.

Sue the guitar player and singer for the Rush River Ramblers got up and read some of her poems and her 104 yr. old Grandmothers poems. They were incredable. A beautiful girl from Nepal got up and read her poems. The poems were so moving. But, do you see any pictures of these two incanting woman????? Jane took pictures I saw her but for some odd reason they did not turn out. Do you think it could possably be operator error?? Duh!

Sandy wrote some wonderful poems that she recited that night.

Casandra sang a song for her father who just got back from Iraq. She did a really great job.

Jeffrey made one of his sisters get up and read a poem. He also did the same thing to Jane. We will see if she forgives him or not.

This is the mystery poet from Plum City. He was Wonderful he has written songs, he sang for us. His poetry was wonderful, he recited everything from memory.

Poetry night was so cool! Jeffrey did a really GREAT job setting everything up.

Tomorrow night, April 7th is Poetry open Mic Night. In recognition of April as national Poetry Month. "I" the Building "Highland Hollow Emporium" am hosting the first Poetry Open Mic. Night. All poets are encouraged to contact HHE'S Artistic Events coordinator, Jeffrey Kulow @ 715-639-2052 (Can you believe I have my own Artistic Events Coordinator?) I'll tell you one thing Jeffrey is a much better slave than Jane is. At least Jeffrey is willing to cooperate and do my bidding. Jane on the other hand is starting to become a little to hard to manage. She can NEVER keep on task, she likes to party too much, she only likes to think about her little Shetland Sheep and the things she can so with the wool. Spin, dye, felt, knit. I'm really getting tired of having to watch her every minute. Anyway enough of her. Also on April 7th in the morning the wonderful Delcimer group Strings N' things will be here practicing their wonderful talent. I love the sound of the delcimers.
Also a note about Friday, April 21st 7:00-9:00pm Anita Straub, Singer-Songwriter will be here. She is wonderful you all must come and hear her sing.
Anyway is sure seems to be getting busy around here!!! But, that's what I'm here for! I LOVE IT!!!!!!

Everyone seems to be having a really good time even on the breaks.If you get a chance to see and hear the Rush River Ramblers. I believe you should they are really GREAT! I hope they will come back. Jane needs to make more room in the yarn shop for dancing. It was fun to watch people dancing in the yarn shop.

Cherri seems to be having a good time!

Jan looks alittle blurry. I think it was Janes 2nd glass of wine oh wait, she takes blurry pictures even without wine.

Rush River Ramblers played Friday night what a GREAT group! everyone had such a good time! Where else but Elmwood can you dance in a yarn shop. Erik is a really Good clogger, Everyone loved watching him clog.

Of course! Give her an inch and she takes a mile. Let her show her Shetland yarn and you can bet a picture of her sheep will follow. Tomorrow I bet she posts pictures of the new calves.

These are some fine singles Jane spun many years ago, from the wool of her magic Shetland sheep. The blue is dyed with Rit denium blue dye. Jane says don't use rit it was an experiment gone bad. Stick to kool-aid or Gaywool dye. She likes the yarn so she is using it for lace.

Laura is reading to Brooklyn, Laura is such a nice girl. Brooklyn is such a sweatie. I love it when these guys come to The Emporium.

Gemma is working in the coffee shop. She sure is doing a better job than Jane has been!

These are a pair of mittens made by Wendy with Llama yarn aren't they cool!

How cute is this little knitter?

Two of the little chatter box girls. Aren't they cuties

John looks so serious!

she will serving her pizzas again when we have music and poetry.

There was a special treat Friday night. Angelica of Angelica's Garden was serving up her organic pizza's They were great!!

Everyone seemed to be having a really great time Friday night. Just to let you know Friday April 7th is open mic. night come a read your poetry, or just come listen and have a good time!!!

Jeffrey the in house poet was back again Friday night. He is one of the greatest humans I have yet to meet and not only that, he is a truly GREAT poet. Some day Jeffrey will be famous and I can say I knew him when. A really really great man.

This girl can really play the flute. I haven't heard such great music in a long time.

Friday night was a GREAT night. We had music from Feather, Loon Feather and Boton's daughter.

Another picture of the fun group of wonderful ladies

This is a really neat group of wonderful ladies that were using me to practice the delcimer. They were so much fun. I hope they come back soon. I enjoyed them so much.

Jane is make a red tubey. I won't tell you what she calls it. Oh maybe I will. No I better not this is a family blog. She also started working on a Panta. (pictures to follow)

Pie are square shawl is done but needs to be blocked. Jane wears it all the time. She looks like a little old bag lady.

Jane got new yarn in last week. Aromatherapy yarn, have you ever heard of such a thing? She likes it. It seems to make her happy.

one more picture about myself because I love myself so much. Jane made a big mistake (surpise surprise) on the first two pictures, they are very small she was going to try and fix them, I told her she should probably leave well enough alone. Poor girl is not the brightest bulb on the tree but she is all I have right now.

more work in progress. Notice how no one will look at Jane while she takes a picture.

Here is another picture of the work in process

John has hired the nicest guys to work on the apartment up stairs. I'm hoping to have a nice family live here.

Saturday the coffee group got together to solve all the world's problems. Guess it didn't work. Maybe next Saturday.

Rachel and Andrea played their hearts out, alot of songs from the 60's from when I was a young building. I think they were born at the wrong time Jeffery was observing and making notes and did read us a poem. I'm sure poetry will come out of this evening, we'll know this coming friday

There was a full house Friday night. Standing room only. It's great to have live music. This is the most people I've seen in a long time.

Walter loves his new ride

Hello, Hello I have returned!!!!! It has been a really great week. Lots going on. Jane has pictures to post.
The little chatter box group is knitting like crazy.

Dear Emporium,
I know I've been very bad. I forgot the camera again and I haven't written on your blog for along time. I am so sorry!!!!! I promise to bring the camera tomorrow and write what ever you what me too. Just please don't kill me.
yours truly,
Jane
