This is a picture of my first attempt at a mitten. I got a pattern from a fellow blogger at
http://www.badschnoodles.com/ - Thank you Claire! Unfortunately, I am not so good at crocheting yet and I messed up the order of things and didn't quite count the stitches properly. It is a great pattern, I will take the blame for the crazy way this mitten came out! I will try again! I've said before and I'll say it again, this sustainable living can be rather difficult sometimes :) but well worth it when things come out right....and even when they don't!
We've been very busy at the store cleaning and painting and today - building! Friend, neighbor, cousin Tad is making us a countertop and it is looking really wonderful, I will post pictures soon! We got our first sign in the mail and we found a wonderful place to get our seeds to sell - The Page Seed Company. Today we also painted signs, worked on making paper bricks, and stacking wood for the fireplace in the basement.
I had to spend the day on the couch today after getting steroid injections into my back so my husband got me a hobby I can do laying down - a hat maker! I won these yarns in a raffle at my Yankee Fiber Friends group a few months ago so i had a great time making us both new hats! Things are going well with the business, continuing to grow with vendors! John also got a great deal on a new display refridgerator for the store!!!! yeah!
