As you can tell by my lack of posting, life is taking over and I’m only along for the ride. I’m not making much, and while I am pulling in loads of lovely produce from the Garden, and the baby chicks are getting big and are quite pretty now, I’m not getting time to photograph [...]

I don’t like to wear pantyhose/tights in the summer, for obvious reasons, however I also don’t like to wear nothing under my dresses (other than undies of course)…just not comfy. So I often wear bike shorts. It works and is comfortable, but I’ve often though bloomers would be more fun and would add to the [...]

So that wonderful sock that was going so well, that fit my foot very well as I was going along, was not the right size. This fact became apparent once I turned the heel and my foot couldn’t fit in the hole that remained. That just sucks. I looked back at the pattern, and I [...]

We took a break today. I think we were all at the breaking point with getting ready for this show. So we all took most of the day off. Sure I shipped a few more boxes, mom helped with that, and dad did make a few new tools, of which I tested, but we also [...]

What a day. I did get everything packed, but when I called to confirm the truck was coming on time and that they would be able to get down to where I was going to fill the pallet, I found out that the person who did my first quote did not ask the right [...]

One more day until the freight leaves. I am doing very well, and believe my goal of knitting after dinner, while waiting for the truck to arrive, is likely to become a reality…fingers still crossed. I have made all but 1 of the sample beads I need. I have almost all of them on their [...]

The freight for the show has to be on the truck between 7-9p (whenever the UPS truck arrives during that window.) We (hubby, mom, dad and my mother-in-law) spent the whole day making sure that 2 of every item was boxed, had a label, and I’m comprising a list of any tools that don’t [...]

There are many people in my life who are expecting. I mean, nearly every woman in the childbearing stage of life, that I know, is currently pregnant. it’s quite insane. In honor of the newest announcement I have begun a baby bonnet. A friend of mine (who is not pregnant, but became a grandma twice [...]

I made Cucumber and Beet Salad for dinner tonight. We have a plethura of cukes so I needed to find something to do with them…other then simply peel and eat them like an apple. Which is what I have been doing with them, when I’m not cutting them up with a little salt. [...]
