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 [...]

She Made Mother’s Day Gifts with the Girls May 9, 2011
Posted in Just stuff, Tutorial on May 10, 2011 | 2 Comments »
The girls saw their Grandmother’s yesterday and today, so I didn’t want to post about the gifts until all had been given… Last fall I removed some grape vines from some trees at my grandmother’s house. She didn’t want them there, so I pulled them out. She didn’t want to keep them, so those that [...]
She Made a Sketchbook, and Walked in the Woods April 24, 2011

Happy Easter! We had a lovely day. After our spiritual family time, and a rockin’ version of the hymn, Christ the Lord is Risen today, the girls and I made a sketchbook. We were going to Great Grammy’s where the adults out number the kids 10 to 2, so I thought a special something to [...]
She Darned A Sock January 26, 2011
Posted in Knitting, Thrifting, Tutorial on January 26, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Honestly, I was pretty okay with the idea when I realized it would necessitate a trip to the antique store, maybe even a couple. Add in my favorite handmade socks have a hole in the pad of the foot, and there was no turning back. It did take a couple stops, but in the end [...]
She Did All Sorts of Things July 13, 2010

I made Sprouted Spelt Flour. I've read that sprouting the spelt berries, then dehydrating them, before grinding them into flour is a great way to remove the phytic acid that each of the berries contains. Phytic acid is the chemical that allows a seed to keep from germinating until the time is right. It is [...]

The next Seacoast Eat Local Farmer's Market is Saturday at Wentworth Greenhouse in Rollinsford. I love the Rollinsford Market, and am excited to see what the farmer's have for us this week. Since I started going to the Farmer's Markets I've wanted to make myself some reusable bags. I use reusable bags, but they are [...]

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 [...]
She Enjoyed the Sun! May 30, 2009
Posted in Gardening, Knitting, Locavore, Tutorial on May 30, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I never liked going outside. I'm blonde with fair skin and blue eyes, resulting in headaches, sunburn and heat stroke if I spent time outside. So I avoided it. I never liked the "outdoor life", preferring a rather sedentary existence with desk jobs, TV, Movies, and the like. So it's really funny that I'm so [...]

Three ladies in the house, all in need of Spring and Summer clothes. It's a great thing that I finally cleaned that sewing room! Mini wore her summer dresses 2 years in a row. First year as a dress with bloomers, last year as adorable shirts with jean shorts. She's outgrown these dresses for this [...]
