This is meant to be an old lady with a shawl. I hope thats what she looks like. Below are the order of vanilla beans we ordered from Mountain Rose Herbs. The same amount of vanilla beans would have been over $75 at Walmart.

These are our seed potatoes sitting out to dry. Each piece that has an eye is cut then grows into a new plant. We have had good luck with this method.

Dolls (again)

                                     This is the doll that will eventually have an Easter basket.

                                      She now stands. She looked too much like a ghost before.

More Wool Dolls

 This is the same doll I posted before but I ripped off her hair and hat and did it over. I think she looks better.
                                      This one is not quite finished. I need to even out her skirt..

This Week's Creations

                             This is a quick and warm scarf I made for no reason other than to knit.
 Here is one of three dolls I am working on. The other two need  more work than this one. I will post them later.
                                                          Another mindless knitting project.
 These are chicken and veggie pot stickers. The kids and I love them. If you want a recipe ask    and I can make one.
                    Last but not least cookies and cream ice cream. It's delicious and a great texture.

                                                     The Japanese plum is starting to bloom.
                                                               Eggs have finally arrived.
                                                                     So adorable!
                      Here is the before and after of the compost. There is about a 3 inches of it on there.
