You sell those for $5?!?! You should charge more than that.
I've made a few bags, and mind aren't nearly as nice. (I don't sell them.)
I used to make some of my own clothes. Now I just mend stuff. And make a few bags. Bags made from feed bags are STURDY! They really last.
I have to admit, I was hesitant to commit to getting a mixer. I didn't want to give up the counter space, and we don't have a good place to store it. They're heavy and awkward to move. In the pantry in the mudroom? Have to be on the floor, which means lifting. In the basement? The pantry down...
Oh, the debacle with Ferrellgas (the local gas company we use; they seem pretty tame to me) is all straightened out as far as we're concerned.
The story: On Feb. 29th, they filled the neighbor's tank by mistake, and handed her a bill with our name on it. She called me, I called Ferrellgas...
57 isn't "chilly," it's darn cold! :lau
I assume you have a wood stove there to warm it back up?
We've had a fire in the wood stove the last 3 mornings. It's supposed to warm up again this coming week. We haven't used the furnace in a month or more.
@cavemanrich, do you have any of the attachments that it can run, like the spiralizer gizmo? I bought that on sale at the store. 20% off, $79, so more than I paid for the mixer. I really wanted that though; I can see using it a LOT when it's apple drying time. Slice and peel, save my right hand...
Oh, Hen-Rietta... I wish I could give you hugs, dear lady.
:hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs
Share them with Alex.
My grandmother's name was Henrietta. I look like her.
Yeah, that's the thing about going in to TSC. I leave after a while! :lau
The peeping stage is like puppyhood. You want it to be over, but you miss it when it's gone.
I was in TSC to get some fencing today. No chicks. I guess that's due to the HPAI situation here in Michigan.
I am not getting chicks this year, but oh how I missed the peeping. 😞
Rather chilly today. I got errands done, and made a loaf of gluten free bread. It's the best I've made so far.
It's WAAAAY better than I ever made in my bread machine. Getting a stand mixer (used, for $72) was a game changer. My poor bread machine may have to go live with someone else. Hubby...
I made GF bread again, making two slight changes to the recipe I used last time. I usually make only one change at a time, in case something goes wrong and the results are a total flop.
It's even better this time. Here's my recipe.
Gluten Free White Bread
420 grams of GF flour (see note)

These will be the only C. Pepo squash I plant. They're both bush varieties, and I wonder if it would matter that much if they crossed.
I'll see which I like better, save seed from one to plant next year. And compare that to the originals. I bet I'll have plenty of seed left over.
Has anyone saved zucchini seeds to plant the next year? I'm planting both Black Beauty and Fordhook varieties, which are bush types. If they do well, I'd like to save the seed.
However, there are enough seeds in the packet for at least 2-3 years.:)
Hubby has put about 150 gallons of water into the water cube up by the heavy soil garden. I can water the other garden with the hose, but that one is too far away from the house.
He says, "July Hubby will thank May hubby for doing it how." :lau
