Happy New Year! We’ve had a slow start this year, trying to take things at a more relaxed pace, and enjoy the little things. Like sewing with my daughter. On Monday Eowyn when to her first “Friend Birthday Party”. She gifted a handmade doll that we made together…or more I made, and we stuffed together, [...]

Our first day with the heifer went well. She was quite agreeable, and seemed to enjoy being on the edge of the woods where she grazed, drank, relaxed in the shade and rested next to the big rock, which I’m sure provided her an enjoyable cooling effect. Christopher used some of our Jenness Farm bug [...]

My family caught our first bad cold of the Winter. We all go it, to varying degrees. I am happy to say that herbal remedies and lots of Elderberry syrup was all it took to get through it, but the staggering of sickness had us off our game for over a week. Glad to say [...]

The other day I got a little goodie in the mail and it had a tag, on which was a little Japanese doll image. Mini thought that was great and said she'd like a doll from Japan like the doll on the tag. I threw "Japanese Doll", or something like that into Google Images, and [...]

The "Birds of Change" exchange wraps up this weekend. I realized that the rules state we needed to have them to the coordinator by the 31st, not shipped by the 31st, so today while the snow fell, and fell and fell, I made birds. I wanted to come up with something really creative, but in [...]

I’m in the Birds of Change Swap. The coordinator suggested giving away a bird, similar to those being made for the swap, on the 20th. It was optional, but since I’ve been wanting to do some kind of giveaway, I thought it was a great time to do so. This little ornament was made out [...]

2008 was my start on becoming more self sufficient. Less dependent on the industrial food system, and the mall, is where I started. I feel good about our progress. I had my first vegetable garden this year. We were quite successful and learned a lot. I LOVE tomatoes fresh from the garden. Fresh green beans [...]

She Made Play Dough, Embroidered and Watched Rope December 10, 2008

I’ve been wanting to make play dough for mini. She likes working with her hands and while Play-doh is non toxic and all, it’s made with petroleum products, and smells yucky. I found a recipe on Indestructables, which is a very cool site if you haven’t been there before. I made up a batch, which [...]
