Yes!

I have made butter before it taste really good. I have also tryed to make bread it turns out pritty well and i have made a quilt before in a quilt pillow case class. Hows the weather in Arizona?

That's cool! I've been shaking the cream in a bottle to make butter, I'm waiting for my aunt to send me an old family butter churn. The weather is beautiful, its a sunny 73° degrees, perfect for germinating seeds! We had a heat wave that killed my corn, pumpkin, and squash, but I replanted. @Hens rule

I want to become more self sufficient by getting 2 or three goats for butter and milk, but I don't really have room for more than one goat. I've heard that you need at least 2 goats. Other than the milk/ butter part, I am fairly self-sufficient with chickens for eggs( we don't kill and eat our chickens), venison for food, pond stocked with fish for food, and pheasants for food, (if we are desperate for food, which probably won't ever happen).

Also, I plant multiple gardens which contain: squash, asparagus, potatoes, tomatoes, corn, kale, and other vegetables, blue, black, and razz berries, wild grapes, and we have apple, cherry, apricot, nectarine trees. I have a peach pit that I hope sprouts, and we MAY get a beehive (probably not though)

Cool! The weather here is clowdy and it's about 18 degrees. That's cool that you can grow plants in the winter. The only time we can grow plants is in the summer and fall.
