Sunday inside stroll
Seems like a long time since I’ve stopped by here to add a post. This month has really flown by and even though I’ve not posted, I’ve been busy. Here’s a little what I’ve been doing. Lots of ice dyeing going on in my warm dye studio. This is one of the scarves from one…

This included no television, no automated transportation, and no toilet paper. They switched from eating out to buying…
Read MoreA Day Away
We have a hard time getting away from Happy Acres during the growing season. However, we often take a day away to Nashville, Tennessee to see a concert at the Ryman. We saw Alison Krauss and Union Station Friday night. If you’ve never heard her or them, here is a clip of one of my…
