My Project List

I've been slacking on getting *officially* started on this because my life's been pretty crazy, and I haven't had much time to do anything fun. I though I'd post a list of some of the projects I'd like to try in the near future. Here we go, in no particular order:

1. Preserves - Strawberry jam, raspberry jam, peach marmalade, and dill pickles.

2. Make butter

3. Make cheese

4. Learn to spin fiber into yarn

5. Dye yarn using plants, flowers, etc.

6. Start an organic garden

7. Start a compost bin

8. Sew a prairie skirt

First Post

This is my introductory post to my new blog! I am going to try to post about things I do that help me live a more self-sufficient life. Some of my upcoming projects include sewing a prairie skirt, making jam, and raising angora rabbits. Check back soon!
