Celebrating an American lifestyle in our 1796 home. Tuesday, September 5, 2017. I so intended to create my She Shed this Summer. I envision a bright space created using recycled materials. I have been collecting antique doors and windows for the exterior for my oasis. Creating a place fit for a queen for the day!

This is my journal, of Family, Home, stitching, knitting and Things that Inspire. Monday, April 2, 2018. There was laughter, chocolate, happy moments shared with family.

How To Have A Better Conversation. If you have a spare 10 minutes this clip is really worth watching. Thursday, 15 February 2018. Choosing our Homestead and 5 Years of Preparation. But also major centres of employment. A note book to record findings and note things like access.

Saturday, 3 May 2014. May on a May morning. I peer through the undergrowth at a vision of bluebells and feel as if all has woken from a long sleep. There are things of interest in these hedgerows but some figures remain shadowy. May blossom, or hawthorn flowers. Or less poetically, cow parsley.
