Homestead Update 3

I'm not good at blog titles. lol.

With spring/summer here we've been very busy bees around here. We started tearing a wall out for our new living room and cleaning out the house.

Been throwing a lot of junk away from the last owners. Sadly they left us nothing worthwhile. Usable things get donated, but there isn't much of that.

We'll be bringing out our own things from out of state soon, hubby and son are flying out to take care of it all. It's been about 6 years since we've seen our belongings! This journey has been crazy.

Anyway, onto some photos I wanted to share...

Isn't this cute! A local woodworker made it and it's out for display near the road. Sure makes me nostalgic for The Flintstones! I used to love that show when I was a kid.



My sidekick found a morel mushroom! Our first and only morel so far since we moved here. Apparently they are a big deal here and in PA.
Hubby sauteed it in butter for dinner and it was delicious!



We don't have any prepared garden areas yet, so I'm growing in pots this summer. I got tomatoes, bell peppers, strawberries, and lots of herbs. I planted lettuce, chives, and other "small" plants in the pots for companion planting.



The rhododendrons are blooming again, sure do love the purple flowers!



Our baby hennies are doing great. One has feathered feet! Sidekick really wanted a feather foot chicken, this one is a Light Brahma I think. A couple of these were from straight runs, but Sidekick is starting to believe they are all pullets! We shall see. We do want a rooster, but if none are, there will be postings for roosters needing homes soon enough, so we'll just get someone else's unwanted Roo.



This henny is from our #2 batch of chickens. Every time Sidekick picks her up she poos. LOL. So she made this sign and sent it to me. Too funny!



Just finished this freebie from primitivebettys blog. Love it! But I made so many booboos. :-p



Working on a patriotic small from Lizzie*Kate now. Finished half of it last night! I love smalls. ;-)

Autumn stitching

Finished a couple more patterns for autumn stitching.

This one is from Country Rustic Primitives.



And this one is from Primitive Stitchin.



Fabric is from Kaniki's.

I still have other autumn patterns to do, we'll see if I have time to stitch any more of them. I need extra hours just for stitching. LOL

LHN Little Sheep Virtues

I completed two of the Little House Needleworks "Little Sheep Virtues".

I just have these two for autumn, but I want to get the other 10 patterns. I love them and they are cute!





I haven't "finished" them yet. But I do plan to display them similar to the way Priscilla finishes some of her smalls that she changes out for seasons and holidays. But I don't have any craft supplies for that yet.

Stitchin'


Excited to get this in the mail! Autumn is my favorite season, just wish I had time to stitch all the autumn patterns I love. {Notforgotten Farm}

Summer has just started, but here I am longing for fall already...



Forgot I had this one in my stash. I just love it! {primitivebettys}



Currently working on this one from Little House Needleworks, just have the border to finish. It's not really prim, but I'm a sucker for sheep and I love LHN patterns.



What are you stitching?
