Hello friends and family!
Here I am finally, ready to get serious about doing this blog on a regular basis.

Winter Solstice is not too far in the future.
The Earth will be in deep sleep then, but will soon begin to slowing awaken as the weather progresses into Spring!

This Spring, I am hoping to plan for a hoop house for our garden, and by next fall, will have completed a cold frame to start early seed a year from this coming Spring.
I think the state and climate of the economy necessitates such preparedness.

The Moon is waxing by one day, and I plan to make sauerkraut today or tomorrow.  There is mixed opinion of whether to start sauerkraut on the waxing or the waning on the Moon.

And, I made jerky this morning, and it is drying nicely in the dehydrator. I will give a recipe and explanation on how to make your own yummy jerky in a future blog.

I have closed my Artfire shop for now. Perhaps in the future I will reopen it.  And I hope to create a readable and pleasant blog here, plus offering my crafts and arts for sale, and offering my Wise Woman knowledge for free!

We have been so busy this fall: birthdays, Thanksgiving, holidays in the mountains (any time spent in the mountains is a holiday for me), traveling, caning and freezing food stuff of the winter, and of course crafting.
The next few blogs will show the crochet and crafting I have completed, and crocheted items I am almost done with except for the finishing.
So come along and I will share my adventures with you!
