I went to the farm market and sold half my handspuns--so this week, carding and spinning is on the menu. I also boxed up some yarn for the MIL to mail today, she does donation charity hats on a peg loom, and this box for a men's prison crochet program, where the guys make items for veterans and homeless folks with their free time in their cells:
and the carpenter bee traps arrived from Etsy, handmade and promised to be good for getting rid of our hazard in the back yard--I'm allergic and carry a sting kit year round (epipen) and don't want the danger of getting stung:
and here's four pieces of black fabric yardage for skirts and aprons for myself, as well as head coverings. My clothes are the same ones I started with five or six years ago when I became Plain, they will make good work clothes but sometimes you want to be a little more presentable and not have bleach stains or raggeddy edges :) it's hard to look neat and clean in some of my items, so time to get sewing:
I've already baked three loaves of bread and packaged one of those and some of the sprouts for a friend, and there's a paper to be faxed and these two boxes of yarn to mail. The sunlight is minimal today but it will dry this polyester stuff all right. Dinner is enchiladas, baked apples and cold pudding for side dish/dessert, jars of sun tea are prepared and waiting. Time to plant the big flower next to the porch, and water the lavender and cosmos that are coming up as tiny green dots in their containers. There is an abundance of good things to occupy me today. Peace.
Hey, I don't remember baked apples or cold pudding.

Well, I did get pudding for lunch today. It was yummy.
