My GLAMPER runner is started and coming along nicely. Its my first lockerhook rug I've ever made. I'm finding it relaxing and addictive. Love sitting and working on it. Its going to be a 10 foot runner so I'm wondering two things... how long is it hoing to tske me to finish and do I have enough fabric?... will keep inquiring minds updated at the project develops.
This summer I took my very boring camper and turned it into a Glamper. With new valances, curtains , quilts and upholstry. I gave it the look of a co untry western bunk house. I even dressed up the boring walls with jute and a embossed leather strip. Its all came together beautifully... but one thing is missing. The floors have a white/grey linoleum and its cold to step on in the early brisk Idaho air when camping in the mountains. I decided to make a locker hooked runner in coordinating colors. I have never ever made a rug.. so this is a first for me. I took a class and cut up all the material into strips. Im excited about making my first rug. Wish me luck.
Since We grow most all of our produce, and this year our freezer is already full of our grass fed meats, I had no choice but to can everything. Ive bever used a pressure canner before, so I took a class at The University of Idaho, a series if 5 canning classes. My harvests have been bountuful, and now....my pantry is happy. I have pumpjins, beets a variety of salsas, Apple sauce, stewed tomatoes, pickled peppers, jams, jellies, a few different pickles... and . Soon to add marinara sauce. I even grew and dried my own beans. Lots of work. Hot sweaty work, but.I know everything was grown organically, no gmo, ..no preservative or unwanted additives. Thats why I work so hard... and.... its so pretty to look at.
We love quading in our lovely state of Idaho's trails. Today we decided to adventure out to the Hemmingway Butes. We started off in a beautiful canyon and ended up so high on a mountain that we could hear the whispers of angels. . At one point we were in a big area where wild horses are known to make their home. No horses today for us, but we saw evidence that they are there. We decided to back to see if we can find the herd. I love photography and having the opportunity to photograph wild horses would be amazing. Thank goodness for trail maps because there is so much wide open spaces with trails going everywhere we could have gotten lost without the maps.
Three or four times over my sink has been full if dirty canning pots, bowls and utensils . I am getting a little batty here. Its 1:15 a.m. and I just pulled out of my canner my jars of apple sauce. It the past two days I've canned raspberry chocolate sauce, fruit salsa, fiesta salsa, grape jelly, pepper jelly, peach pie filling and apple sauce. I may take tomorrow off from canning and concentrate on dehydrating herbs. Although, everytime I walk by the pumpkins I just harvested... its like they are calling my name.... I told you I was getting batty. Im hoping the roosters go easy on me in the morning and let me sleep in.
Boxes of fruit, vegetables galore from our garden pickings and no freezer space. Guess who's canning.
This is the first time in my life that I have ever gone to a event and was given such abundance for free. So, as any food saver,canner would do... I got to canning Jam. Tonite I made two batches of concord Grape Jelly and one batch (not pictured) of peach jam. Tomorrow will be cobbler making for a BBQ that we are going to, then I'll dehydrate some, can some.. and eat the rest fresh. Feeling Blessed.
