Yesterday was the Northern Neck Artisan Trail Second Saturday on-going event in which, as a member of the Artisan Trail I agree to be home and have my doors open for visitors. This year I’m going to try and have some sort of planned activity or lesson going on while I’m open. Next month I… Continue reading Visitors, Cats and Snow

Mr. & Mrs. Bluebird now have a new home and are flying off to Yuma, Arizona tomorrow!
I’m taking an on-line course that (if I do the work necessary) should result in finding additional venues from which to market my art.

Staying home, food shortages, boredom, and generally questioning how we live our lives has caused a lot of folks to start looking at how to become more self-sustaining. This site will include a wide variety of things including how to cook from scratch (really, really scratch) and create a garden in hot & humid Virginia, our adventures in turning a shed into a chicken coop, and working with an old orchard that produces an abundance of ugly but perfectly edible fruit.
