Busy Weekend

Aside from doing all the usual weekend work; laundry, dishes, etc., I bought a new carpet cleaner and cleaned the carpets. They look so nice. I finally got my compost bin put together. Now, I have to find something to put in it. We don't bag grass clippings. They are good for the lawn. I need a chipper.

When I'm done here I'm going to go create a new bag for my daughter. I'll let you see it when I'm done. She's looking for a messenger type bag.

My in-laws are coming over. I'm looking forward to seeing them.

Dandelion Farmgirls

I went to my first meeting of the my local farmgirl sisterhood chapter last Wenesday. We had lemonade and shortbread. It was so nice to spend some time with women who get me. Not many do. To be able to talk about Stevia and not have to explain what it is was great!

We did tie-dye. I made three shirts. Here are pics of two of them.

For those who have never heard of the Farmgirl Sisterhood check out www.maryjanesfarm.org. We believe farmgirl is a condition of the heart. You don't have to live on a farm to do things better. Farmgirls are there for one another, they are always gracious, patient, loving and giving. We strive to do things in a way that is good for our planet and it's people. Farmgirls celebrate the strengths of women. We knit, sew, crochet, tat, cook, clean, and do anything else we put our minds to all the time staying connected to our sisters. We share the good, the bad, and the ugly with a tears and smiles.

What Did I Get Done?

I did the laundry and hung it out to dry. I still have to go take the jeans down. I made the placemats, but I am going to hand quilt them. I made a curtain for my kitchen window. Here's a pic. Not a very good one. I had to take it with my phone.

Not quite what was planned, but still accomplished something.
