She's freaked out because the washer makes noise and shakes the floors.

Why do I always get stuck doing these dirty jobs? Well, I guess because I'm good at cleaning and getting into cramped spaces. So it's time to clean the attic!

I'm making a carrier for my niece! Join me as I sew and give instructions to DIY. I also give a rolled hem lesson in this video. I did have to add more fabric to the ends to make it 5 yds in length just to be sure the tails are long enough for varied ways to wear it.

In this last video, I've finally gotten back to these socks! Join me as I finish the heel and show you parts of the bind off process on TAAT socks using Jeny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-off. Visit Cat Bordhi's channel to view this bind-off and look for her Sweet Tomato Heel and Judy's Magic Cast-on too! https://youtu.be/abBhe-JYmgI Her tutorials are very informative, and she is missed very much in the knitting community. Visit https://ancientfriend.com to shop for my knits, cloth diapering products, and more.

This part in the TAAT tutorial series is quite random, so if you know how to knit the "foot" portion of a sock, it's totally an optional video. However, if you like to knit along with a video of knitting, be my guest! I also did manage to add have a few pointers. 😉 Find me at: www.ancientfriend.com And: etsy.com/shop/prismhandcrafts Instagram: @ancient_friend_shop

We stopped by to say hi today as we went to take pictures of our flowering trees.

I do miss all the green, but we'll have it back very soon!

Freerange chickens always make a huge mess, but it's a great way to prep the garden beds!

But is it really dead?

We feed kitchen scraps to our chickens, and they get so excited! It's also a great way to compost.

Ozzy loves to pretend he's eating...or something. He does this all the time.

I'm just sitting here trying to relax....

Adorable little Мурка (Moorka) is very playful. Ozzy sometimes doesn't mind. 🐈‍⬛
