Catching Up

I finally, finally had a chance to write. Lately I've been wishing that I had more hours in my day- I try to cram everything into the day and I'm at my best when I'm busy. I feel like you should be doing what you love in life and sometimes that has been a challenge because of roadblocks (contracts and all sorts of challenges lately)- that drives me absolutely crazy. Trying to think positively- what I really love is the farm, gardening outside, cooking with our produce (especially canning projects), trying new recipes, and working on projects for the Etsy shop. Etsy has been going very well for me lately. I really enjoy being creative and bringing people joy with handmade quilts.

On the weekends, I am almost so excited to be doing what I love that I can hardly sleep. Other nights, I stay awake with anxiety.



Here's what I've been up to lately on the weekends:

We had our last market at the Ames Oktoberfest (I'm actually 100% German)

One of my favorite canning projects so far is the apple pie filling. Grandma W. would be so proud- she's the legendary pie baker!

And, we are trying our hand at growing MUSHROOMS. These are baby Phoenix oyster mushrooms.
