I spent a lot of time in the kitchen today. I am not really much of a cook, not that the food I make doesn’t taste good, it usually does, but to get the timing and organization for a meal to be on the table at supper time, well it rarely works well. If I [...]

This is going to be a long post, so go ahead and get a tasty beverage, and listen to all the news and gossip of the day.
Today was the first day of the town farmer’s market. It was a little slow, but that’s expected for the first day, in the beginning of the season. [...]

Dad and I worked on the coop again today. While working we smelled smoke. We didn’t see any smoke, but it smelled like wood burning. We figured someone was burning brush in their yard, commented about how it seemed to dry to get burn permits. But in rural NH, people don’t always drive down to [...]

Today was beautiful and we were all home, so it was the perfect time to get the plants in the ground, and plant seeds. That is what we did all day! It has been determined that I was over zealous with my seed starting. That’s fine. I’ll own that statement. [...]

Yesterday my grandmother passed from this life. She was my mom’s mom and an amazing woman. She gave life to 10 children, who in turn blessed her with 19 grandchildren. The next generation has started, adding to her legacy 6 great grandchildren. She was a nurse for 40 years. Her [...]

My friend Ellen has a front loading washing machine. You are supposed to let those air out between uses, or you can have mold grown in the trapped moisture. She asked if I could make something decorative to keep the door from shutting all the way, as the little plastic measuring cup she uses now, [...]

French Market Bag drying on the line, after felting…
I LOVE this little bag. I evidently did something wrong with my gauge because it’s quite a bit smaller then it should be. However, I don’t mind. It’s still able to hold a 5 pound page of potatoes and 3 pounds of onions, at the same time!
I [...]

What an absolutely lovely day we had! The family went to a Sustainability Fair. First, it’s rather ironic that we drove 1/2 hour to the fair, and then drove around for about 5 minutes looking for a place to park. Hubby commented on this, and we wondered if coming the sustainability fair was sustainable in [...]

I finished the Tie Skirt Tutorial for Toddlers and Children! I was almost done yesterday, but knew I’d be able to wrap it up today. Now you can use dad’s old ties to make his sweet little girl a very cool skirt! Or if dad doesn’t own any ties, or couldn’t part with any of [...]
