My little kitchen herb garden. (Actually, this photo was taken last week, they have grow considerably since then!) Down in the berry patch, the blueberries are coming on. And the mulberries. And the ...
Usually, we buy Sabra hummus because in the past, we’ve never had much luck making a homemade hummus to compete with it. I may have finally found one. It’s really simple so next time I...
As of Wednesday my first celery looks like this! While in town running errands one day, my Mom and I stopped at a farm stand so I could pick some peppermint up but they didn’t have any plain ol...
Since my last Yarn Along update, I have to admit, I’ve only stitched about one or two rounds of my top and read a few chapters of Zelda. I’ve been so super busy, hardly had any time to sit down. I do...
My birthday was last week and I received some lovely gifts. The first I was actually gifted a while ago—the DROPS Alpaca. A new pair of Ked’s. (My old pair have become garden shoes.) Soph...
I think I’ll take on a couple pet projects each year in addition to the usual garden fare, things that we don’t normally grow but I would like to experience growing. Next year I’m t...
I’m happy to be participating in this week’s Yarn Along hosted weekly by Small Things. On my needles is my very first knitted article of clothing—it’s the Buttercup top. Back ...
I’ve been on a bit of an avocado kick lately. In my recipe binder I had a piece of paper with a few ingredients jotted down for an avocado banana smoothie. I have no idea if I found it online o...
“I never had any other desire so strong, and so like to covetousness, as that one which I have had always, that I might be master at last of a small house and a large garden.” -Abraham Co...
Luckily I’m finding the time and energy to join in Yarn Along this week. I have been awfully busy lately and when I sit down in front of the computer at night, my mind and body are fried. Not m...
Going through my recent posts, you’d think this was some kind of amateur foodie blog. I do believe it is still a mainly sewing and craft blog, even though I haven’t sewn a single stitch s...
Last weekend my Mom helped me make vegan Rouladen (also know as Roulade.) I printed this for inspiration and followed those seitan-making instructions. There are a ton of recipes out there for Roulad...
Friday morning was draped in fog. I cut my hair over two months ago, it’s grown a bit. Reading old girl-y novels and dressing in girl-y skirts. A closet revamp. Andromeda.
On Saint Patrick’s Day my Mom served the traditional fare of cornbeef and cabbage (the vegetarians stuck with a plate of cabbage, carrots and asparagus) and Irish Soda Bread for dessert. While we wer...
Since the beginning of February or so, I’ve been trying to improve my diet—for health reasons, not so much weight-loss ones, though obviously the latter would be a welcome bonus. I’m pretty muc...
On Sunday I went on a great hike with my parents. We explored around an old farmstead up in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreational Area. About a year ago, someone was living there, but it is no...
Every time I sit down to write a post, I manage to get so caught up in where to start and how to word things and what all to address that I get confused and give up. There is no way for me to explain...
Hi all, Just wanted to pop in and say hello. And let you know I’ll be away from blogging longer than I thought I’d be. Things are still a little weird in my life right now. I’ve bee...
I finished this towel and gifted it to my Grandmother for her birthday. She loves it—flaws and all.
Hi, Sorry for disappearing for a couple days there and skipping this week’s Mini Patchwork Block Tut and Weekly Finds. Things got a little crazy. Actually, they are still a little crazy, so I d...
For quite a while now, I’ve seen posts on Jodi and Allison’s blogs almost every Wednesday titled Yarn Along. They share what they are knitting/crocheting and what they are reading via a prompt at thi...
Books are one of my guilty pleasures. Particularly books about women (or men, but mostly women) that rough it in the wilds or on farms. It’s probably my ultimate dream “to take to the woods.” I’m not...
Hi all, This month I have two lovely sponsors here at my blog. 464 Handmade Shop | Blog | Facebook First up is someone we met back in November 464 Handmade located in Mexico. Offered are a ...
Hello hello! I’m super busy today (emails will be replied to later, promise) but I wanted to pop in to share my finds. To avoid a photoless post, I plopped an old one in of how I wished things ...
Well, it’s official. I’ve opened up my new shop at BigCartel. I’m pretty excited. Without Etsy’s help, I have a lot of work ahead of me in the promotional department. I’m currently waiting for the do...
Good morning. Here is the latest block for the Series. I’m quite smitten with this one. Click the above photo to be taken to the tutorial document. I think it fits in with the quilt really well...
I’ve found a lot of great music lately. Here are a few tunes—(which prove my taste is all over the board.) I’m kind of busybusy working behind the scenes, getting things ready for the new...
I went upstairs for a minute and someone snuck in my studio. I did a wee post on my sister blog about the ring I received in a swap with Genevieve of Pretty Wit. Umm, can I have a spare room to turn ...
This week’s block is so easy peasy. I chose to do one inch “stamps” but to save time, you’re welcome to do two inch “stamps.” There is more info in the document. N...
