No announcement here. The hat is for a friend to give to a friend. I have a lovely friend, who loves all the knitted/sewing goodies I make for my girls, but also loves to tell me she doesn’t make anything (This of course isn’t true, but she doesn’t do the “domestic” crafts like knitting and [...]

My Baby woke up this morning and barked at me…not pretending to be a dog, she seems to have croup. I have been giving her the wonder cough syrup I made, which has many wonderful immune boosting and repiratory health boosting properties, and for the 2-3 hours after getting a dose she's fine, and can [...]

I found a very bright yellow dresser at a second hand store, and after a little discussion, paid $22.00 and put it in my car. I'm bad at remember "before" pictures, as I always want to dive in to a new project, but the whole thing was the color of the drawers, and here it [...]

I was having a bit of a dry spell with my knitting. I was still knitting, but not really doing so in an inspired and intentional manner. But I'm having a grand ole time now! I have three projects on my needles, which is not normal for me. I tend to knit one project at [...]

What a bad blogger I've been. I haven't posted since the 13th, and frankly the posts before that have been a smidge rushed. Life is getting a bit crazy around here. Nothing major, just life…before Christmas, for a Mama who wants to make all the gifts, and all the food, and run the homestead…My camera [...]

I'm still fighting with the Calvert Sweater, but I did manage to finish another pair of leg warmers for the girls. This pattern is so simple, fast and easy. It has become my go to "carry around" project of choice. Soon to be interrupted by socks for Dad for Christmas. Eeeek…did I admit to attempting [...]

I still have not killed the chicken, Husband learned that today, but I did learn how to clean it. Husband and I went to Yellow House Farm for a hands on slaughter lesson. We worked on personal birds of a family member, which included chickens, guinea fowl and a Turkey. The larger the bird the [...]

We had a family party today. Mom's side of the family all gathered at one of my Uncle's homes and had food, laughs and time to catch up. There is never a lack of laughter when that family gets together. They just love to laugh. It was a good time. Before we left I realized [...]
She Finished a Long Overdue Project August 3, 2009

I started a wet bag a couple months ago. It was inspired by a conversation with a friend, who heard of someone making one out of a used shower curtain. Seemed like a great idea. Shower curtains are certainly not earth friendly, so throwing them away seems like such a bad idea, and I really [...]
