August birthdays

Happy birthday to our August sheep: Barbara Sump, Harriet Atlas, Dawn Lemon, Sally Pituch, and Cecile Scott! Enjoy your day[s].

Picnic

On Wednesday, June 30 about 7 BSKG members attended a cross-guild picnic sponsored by the Oakland Guild at Firefighters Park in Troy. The weather was cool (hard to believe right now), and there was tons of great food. We had a show and share, and as usual, there were some beautiful items, including the gorgeous shawl, and the entrelac shawl pictured above. The Oakland Guild also had some fabulous door prizes - both Kim and Rita won something. A great time was had by all.

July Birthdays

Happy Birthday to our hot July Black Sheep: Sharon Hagen, Colleen Robbins, Joyce Crabtree, and Stacey Totzke. And many s'mores!

Picnic

Just a reminder, we have been invited to a "cross-guild" picnic by the Oakland Knitting Guild this Wednesday June 30th, 2010 from 4:00-9:00pm. Location is Fire Fighters Park in Troy which is on Square Lake between Crooks and Coolidge (it's big you can't miss it!) they have rented out the pavilion.

They ask that you bring a dish to pass, your own beverage and chair and of course knitting, spinning, show and share etc. (All paper products, cutlery and ice will be provided)

This will be a great opportunity to meet and spend time with other fiber lovers in our area, lots of new fibery friends! Hope to see you there :)
