Sneak Peak

Here's a few goodies I will have at the Floyd County Arts & Crafts festival this weekend. The show is at the High School and is Saturday 9-5 and Sunday 12-5.

Lampwork Glass Beads

Here are my latest creations I've just listed on etsy.

Does anyone know......

Does anyone know what kind of caterpillar this is? If I had to guess I would say it's a luna moth caterpillar. As I was walking to the mailbox today I seen this huge bug-gar just a gettin' it across my driveway on it's way to my garden. Of course I have to go in for a closer look! It's funny to see all of the creatures ya come across when your not spraying chemicals all over the place!

Canning Canning

Well it's been pretty busy here, Saturday I canned 18 pints of corn relish, 4 pints of muscadine grape juice, 2 quarts and 1 pint of green beans and finally made two loaves of wheat bread. Boy, was I beat that evening! But the feeling you get at the end of that hard day or when you go to your full pantry and see all of those beautiful organic homemade goodies just makes your heart leap with joy, or it does me anyway ;>) I have to mention that I have a little helper, my hubby. He gets right in there and helps me every step of the way!

















I made this green tomato chow chow last week when my beautiful tomatoes suddenly got a late blight and started rotting! Oh well, when life gives you lemons make chow chow! I got 18 pints out of them anyway.
