A few new pictures!

A few pictures to make up for not having a new blog up and done in so long. 

****** contents deleted by me, the First Amendment needs more teeth ****


A pile of rex hides.  Soon to be a lovely lap blanket.  I love having things like this, just a pile of lush pelts.  Makes me feel rich indeed.


Sewing a new microwave rice pad so that, perhaps THIS time, I will get to keep it!  The sewing machine is the 1800s one I found thrown away and have finally got back into working order at last.

Amanda's birthday cake, baked by herself from scratch.  And very nice it was as well despite the mess in the background.  Ah well, its a home, not a showplace, after all.

This is the bunny that Amanda made and stitched onto her pillowcase.  It was supposed to hide a stain but I think a few more bunnies are needed.

The vegetable called Celtuse is flipping fantastic!  The stalks were fried after parboiling and the greens were gently fried.  The cranberry sauce was for the roast turkey and gravy.   Mmmmmm ghosts of dinners past!
Power out shenanigans. 


My lovely little wind chime.  I am pleased with how it turned out and will be making more soon for my Etsy store.

The latest gnomette.  

With her spring flowers hidden behind her.  
Last but not least, the Kohlrabi and carrots that were later roasted.  When the heat showed back up the Kohlrabi got rather bitter but cooked with the carrots they were just fine.  Well, a few steps up from fine, all the way to very nice.

And the saga continues!

First, a quick sorry that I didn’t post anything last month, but I was kept mentally and actively busy trying to get my court case - aka the Freedom File - ready for filing. Once I had my stuffed-full file-box of tricks already, I went online to look for free legal aid. I learned my circumstances were considered bad enough for me to get some free legal advice but were not bad enough for me to actually get any real help. Story of my life really. My Freedom File box.   ****** contents deleted by me, the First Amendment needs more teeth **** Now for something completely different! Devin recently informed me he wanted PROPER HAM for Christmas dinner and Amanda chimed in with "Roasted CHICKEN, Mummy!" - and I thought … OMG, is it Christmas ALREADY!?! We had eaten all the pork in our freezer, so on went the computer where, after a short Craigslist search, I found five pot belly piglets available. Having ordered feed two weeks before, I had just enough tim

Yard Farmer Wildlife, Some Baking, And A Few Carvings.

Having spent most of my time lately either ****** contents deleted by me, the First Amendment needs more teeth ****, the yard has gotten a little out of hand so this last week I have spent some time outside, trying to get it back into order. So far, the tomatoes and peppers I planted earlier have set no fruit at all and done very little other than attract some rather large visitors. I am sorry for the out of focus snap but my camera phone sometimes will NOT get what I want and instead LOVES the background, much to my frustration. So far 5 of these beauties have wandered in to strip the plants back to bare twigs but, as they are not only a BEAUTIFUL adult moth but, like all life on our planet, they are under unceasing attack by human activity so instead of feeding them to the chickens, I just moved them back out of the yard. While working outside I have so far encountered - painfully - three stinging caterpillars.  I only managed to get pictures of two of them, the third we

New uses for the trampoline

Image
This blog is just a short fun one, mainly about, you guessed it, my new favorite game.  It's called how many new ways can I find to use a trampoline. A gate post for the light wire gate I had to make to keep Dude out of my vegetable garden while allowing me easy access.  He does MUCH more damage hunting rats then the actual rats do. Two of the thin, springy wire supports for the trampoline safety net hold up this bit of fence wire to protect the Day Lilies from, you guessed it, Dude.  He thinks sleeping in the flowers is just the bestest ever place to sleep.   Seriously, he may keep the bears out of the yard - which is a really good thing - but Dude can do more damage just by being a dog than most things can by trying really hard to wreck things.  Between them, he and the chickens destroyed weeks worth of work in the vegetable garden. So the chickens now live in their 10 foot by 10 foot pen (there are only 7 of them, soon to be 6) and I have had to fence the vegetabl
