Some fermentation going on...this is the second day in the process. Cabbage, dill and garlic from the garden. I added beets, Brusselsprouts and horseradish too...so in a few weeks (hopefully) we will have sauerkraut!!!
This is the penny rug top all finished. Now to figure out a backing so it will lay flat with body...
In the mail yesterday was the loom manual from a very helpful lady who is part of a weaving group. This winter will be a perfect time to learn how to weave!!! First you have to learn how to warp the loom. But one step at a time....before springtime I hope to be weaving on this beauty!

Went to the first weekend Farmer's market of the year this morning...got some goodies! Lots of asparagus!
Here are photos of the rug that I'm stitching. As you can see, I had to rip out most of it...due to No preplanning. haha... I thought I could just make up a pattern as I stitched along...NO, can't do that with circles on a square backing. Rip/stitch/repeat!!!
So, Rich is working on sanding the wood floors in the dinning/living room. Poor Mattie is terrified of the power tools and is staying as far away as possible...way back in the yard.
