Good evening, or should I say... morning *yawn* as it's 1:42 am here...
But, I digress...
In this modern day, the term homesteading means more than just growing and making your own cheese. To me my lifestyle, this project and my whole little world is all about doing with what you have, being frugal yet finding joy in the simple things. I also find understanding and learning the classic home arts such as spinning, weaving, cooking, knitting, crochet and the like.
I've always been drawn to Fiber arts and I find that it comes very easy to me to delve into these lost arts. The help me pass my time as well as being able to make a few bucks on the side. With my extra bits I give of my craft to Project Linus and make blankets for children who are ill, who have been traumatized or are in need.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Whether cooking for only yourself or for others maximizing yield, nutrition and flavor and minimizing spending, especially these days with the economy on the very bottom and the cost of living at a steady increase. With no relief in sight and more and more families and individuals falling on hard times through no fault of their own, learning to make every penny count and stretching it as far as it can go is new to many.
------------------------------------------------------------
I'm really just writing down what I'm doing, as I do it. The categories vary depending on what I'm doing that day, or thinking about and researching. Along the way I drop some recipes, how-tos of many types, informational bits, crafting instruction and random letters to you guys.
------------------------------------------------------------
I hope you're enjoying what you're seeing so far. I'm always open to your topic suggestions and comments! I consider this a forum for learning, from you as much as from me.
It truly is a journey of love, and passions, all rolled into one cozy little blog ball.
