I Found Treasures, Treasure Galore

Ribbons, elastic, yarn and lace so many from my favorite store Habitant for Humanity in Cornelius. Autumne and I found all these yards and yards of it. It's hard to tell how much, but it's all so exciting!! Aprons, purses, bottles, bags and bloomers and skirts. The possibilities are endless! Looking forward to making and sharing all my creations!

Worm Hunting or Saving

The rain has come and come and come. We are all feeling it one way or another. My daughter, Autumne and I take a walk to store on this wet wet Saturday. We see tons and tons of
worms . . . . drowning! I feel like I did as a kid. I am on a mission I am going to save the worms.

Dandelions are so huge. The rain must be good for some of us. Can't wait to and collect some and make dandelion jelly.

Make some tinctures for my family.

Nothing is Perfect

Made keifer. Had more whey than keifer. I want it perfect, than I realized this is a lesson is life. I so want life to work out smoothly and when it doesn't and I can't control it I freak out and work harder to perfect it. When I take the time to just take my time and be in the moment and not rush through I can get to perfection, perfection of the moment.

One small step leads to many

This began as a fun thing to do. I never imagine that it would result in such an amazing learning and growing experience. A year ago I started with one small kumbucha mushroom. My husband was very nervous to have this thing on top on our frig. I can't tell you how often I would hear," Hon, I don't know about that, I can't trust that." You can eat it, but I don't know about it." Month after month, he would look at it and looking at it fearfully. Than one day he gave it a try and now he will ask me, "Hon, when is there going to be more Kumbucha. "


I have made yogurt, keifer milk, butter and now I am going to make some keifer butter and sour cream. I am more in the kitchen now preparing fermented foods than I have ever been in the kitchen preparing food. I don't like to cook I would say and my husband would do the cooking. I am learning to love to create fermented foods, who knows maybe one day I will love to cook . ... .. well, maybe not!
