Boy 3 weeks goes by fast! Time for another SAL (Stitch A Long) post. Mr. Peacock now has a name, Salvador (Sal for short) I think Avis suggested the name so thank you Avis! At this point, progress on Sal’s tail is slow going and giving me a bit of an eye twitch. Here isContinue reading “SAL Project Peacock #3”

What is Evil’s Role In All of This?
This post isn’t the kind of post I would normally write for my blog but I have been thinking a lot about accountability lately. I am a Christian, certainly not a perfect one, but I try to do the right thing by others. Lately, however I have been blaming God for my financial situation andContinue reading “What is Evil’s Role In All of This?”
Easter Fun
Easter and Spring are such fun when it comes to crafts and baking. I love bright spring colors of greens, blues, yellows, pinks and lavenders after the dark colors of winter like reds, blacks, navy and grays. Even though Doug is 15 he still likes to craft (once in a while) so I bring outContinue reading “Easter Fun”
Weeks 3 and 4 Pop Bottles Meet Disaster
Mr. Gray is in trouble. BIG trouble. We have 2 kittens we adopted in October of this last year. I was seriously worried about my seedlings getting damaged by the cats since it is an open space in our basement that I grow my plants in. Our beloved cat Bernie, who died suddenly this fallContinue reading “Weeks 3 and 4 Pop Bottles Meet Disaster”
Project Peacock SAL Update 2

I have gotten a lot done mostly on its tail feathers but also some on the side branches. Here is a photo of the lastContinue reading “Project Peacock SAL Update 2”
Dandelion Jelly-You Gotta Try It!
Last season I decided to try making dandelion jelly. I read people’s comments on how good it was and many of them said they would be making a double batch next year. So I figured, what the heck, why not? I love trying things made from foraging. We don’t spray our yard (though my husbandContinue reading “Dandelion Jelly-You Gotta Try It!”
Week 1-2 Pop Bottle Garden
It has been a heck of a few weeks since I started the seeds for our 2017 garden. Here in Western, NY we had 80+ mile an hour winds which knocked our power out for well over 24 hours and closed school for two days. Then less than a week later we had a twoContinue reading “Week 1-2 Pop Bottle Garden”
My First SAL (Stitch-A-Long) Post
I came across a group of bloggers here on WordPress who are part of a Stitch-A-Long group of stitchers. A SAL is a group designed to help motivate and encourage us to finish projects one at a time. How many of us have multiple projects, unfinished sitting in a drawer? This group is a greatContinue reading “My First SAL (Stitch-A-Long) Post”

Starting Seeds Week #1
Every year I start my seeds, indoors, about 6-8 weeks before the plants go into the ground outside. Last year was the first year I tried starting my seeds in a pop bottle. Sound kinda weird? Not really if you think about it. A pop bottle is just like a mini greenhouse. It keeps theContinue reading “Starting Seeds Week #1”
