Well I finally got next year's garden planned out and seeds are starting to come in. Been a royal pain in the you-know-what to go and do garden work because of the rain, but we seem to be doing quite well!
Kiddo is now fully potty trained and is helping in the garden now. Husband and I are...
Five year anniversary was a few days ago. Here's to five years of chickens and many more!
Meanwhile, garden is doing fine. Leeks are in the seed trays in the greenhouse and once they get pencil size they'll be trimmed and moved outside to finish out. The raspberries have green berries w=already...
Thanks to a friend hatching a handful of chicks, husband and I are now considering hatching a few birds. Luckily things like prefab coops and runs are still able to be delivered, though they take longer to deliver because they're "nonessential items". With everything going crazy I'm glad I have...
50s women still had long hair, though fashion was to cut it short! A lot of them would put it in a chignon or french twist if it was long! That's what I do when I'm too lazy to do a full curl set. Other options were to perm your hair in your set so you didn't have to curl every day but that's a...
Yeah I don't do that lol. I'm very much into trying to construct the garments as close to the original as possible. I mean the 20s dress is like the t-shirt and jeans of historical dress, don't fix what ain't broke haha.
That's my project for next year! This year I'm working on a 40s-ish take...
Made a 1920s dress from an extant drafting guide, and I have a 1950s Simplicity skirt pattern I'm currently working on and a basic bodice pattern I want to draft. Also working on sizing down a vintage shirtwaist dress pattern I have that's a 14 1/2 (in vintage patterns I'm a 12-12 1/2 and in...
Happy belated birthday @daxigait !
Machine is back, got a project done and working on the next. Kiddo's been sick which put a damper on my plans, but he's nearly better now which has me relieved. Got mead in the works as well as sewing projects, that'll be started on Monday and should be ready...
My sewing machine comes back from the repair shop tomorrow. Had a broken automatic threader and tension problems as well as a crack in the casing. Hopefully everything is fixed because I have a backlog of projects that need done. :fl
It's been a hot minute since I've been around huh? Father in law is getting us an extravagantly large greenhouse which will make planting MUCH easier. Halloween soaps go up on the website October 1st, I have some really special things I'm doing with the designs this year. Kiddo is sprouting like...
Currently packaging soaps for the summer trip sale. Changed our branding a while back, including a color and logo change. Just need to get the labels printed and some business cards.
We start school at 2.5/3 years old here, so yeah the boy begins school next September. And soaping is slow, I changed my website over to a independent site off Etsy and things have slowed to a crawl. I do plan on doing Youtube videos soon though which might draw in purchases. People are weirdly...
