What are you here for? Do you want to see crochet? I got that. Want to see more homesteading? I got that too. Instagram is where you are most likely to find me.

I need some help friends! I am working on the colors for my next granny square. These samples are half done and I am debating about which one I like better. What do you all think? Dark center or light center? New pattern! If you guys didn't know it, #poppyseedpattern is now available on my Etsy. The link in my bio takes you straight to my store. Also, I am thinking of making a little shawl for my toddler out of this square. What do you think? Would you want to see that? Sure I love squares, but my first love is mandala blankets. Huge, repetitive, colorful, beautiful. I could do these these hours, and I often do. This one is Suna Mandara by @wigglestick_designs If you aren't familiar with her work then you need to drop everything and go check out her account. I absolutely love everything she does. When I started writing patterns I was not prepared for how many times I would be frogging my squares and starting over. It's a good thing I enjoy this or else we would have a problem. Good evening friends! This is a new pattern that I'll be releasing shortly. Stay tuned!

For reference, I'm 5ft7. Finally, finally, I have echinacea. I cut a few flowers last night to hang over my sink as a dried bouquet. My goal is to have flowers from spring, summer, and fall. I am not a huge fan of red, but it looks so beautiful with my burgundy cosmos. I'll have to get a better picture of the red zinnias with the burgundy cosmos. That will be its own bouquet. Anyway. Happy July! #farmbaby #farmbabies #farmgirl #farmgirls #chickencoop #happybabygirl Last week I snapped a few pics at my friends homestead. While I was looking at these ducks some pigs appeared out of nowhere and were apparently very excited to see me. So they ran full speed (as a pig can) at me and my youngest who was sitting in the grass. I don't have much experience with pigs, and a charging boar is a scary sight. I grabbed my baby and ran. Turns out the pigs are nice, but I spent the rest of my time photographing my kinsmen - the chickens. Yesterday Lydia and I went out to the garden in the middle of the day and harvested a few things. It was way too hot and I won't do it again. Today our AC is busted so we're waiting in the pool for the repairman to arrive. Life is hard. đź–¤ I finally did away with the dried flowers from my sisters wedding that were hanging over my kitchen sink. In their place I put some lovely korean hyssop. My plan is to just take little bits that I collect over the summer. Maybe I'll take a few zinnias too. Got a new camera. Be on the lookout. Elder blossoms. Lily and spiderwort.
