Celebrating🎉🥳my bday at seaside 🌊🐬🏖️🌊 Video 1
Fl Vacation May thru June 2024
Before I even go any further, thank you to my most wonderful husband D 🤗♥️😘
During the 80's, I always spent my birthday weekend in The Florida Keys at the seaside beach house...
After a bit of travel, becoming an adult, moving away from the hustle & bustle of SoFlo, I took off to The MidWest. After many yrs of being single due to "never finding the right person", we bumped into one another, at the most unsuspecting of places (long story) ha ha ha
Years later after, after marriage, living on more than one farm, raising livestock for natural fiber, food = 🥩, 🥛diy dairy products 🍦🧈🧀, growing a huge 2 acre plus garden, cutting our own hay / training two ox teams to do it... our kiddo "growing up / leaving the nest"...
We've been re-evaluating life 🤔
Never finding the time to do certain things due to feeling overwhelmed with "too much" for over 25+ years... considering the options.
Which brings us back to , "my birthday". Husband had promised that he'd get us there 🌊🐬🏖️🌊, on my bday, before dark... After waking up well before sunrise, driving most of the day...we FINALLY arrived!!!!!
WE MADE IT IT!!!! 🥰
The ocean gets me emotional for a few different reasons.... it was so good to see it/celebrate my special day in a simpleton way (as per usual), enjoying the "simple things" in life, with my luvie ... ❤️❤️
Life is a journey...so enjoy every minute, as if it were your last.
In between it all, is some nice "beach / oceanic therapy via the waves crashing on the shore"... 🌊🌊🌊
This is a part 1 (day one) of several videos I'm putting together taken during our vacation.
Enjoy, keep happy, HEALTHY, safe, free & blessings to you and yours ❤️🙏

Natural Skincare, diy tooth gel & etc...
This is what I do 😉
Just thought I'd share in my personal protocol of many years. The only other thing I use on my skin is organic 🥥 oil and castor bean oil.
The aloe gel is excellent to be rid of inflammation, gum disease...even better paired with clove/coconut oil in oil pulling (30 mins is the least amount of time I recommend for the latter described - 1 hour once or twice a day, is even better 😉).

Primitive Self Relience Sheep Breed
Another busy weekend. It's starting to "feel like spring" 😃
We butchered another #PrimitiveFatTailSheep #Astrakhan #Karakul #WoolFeltingSheepBreed #SelfRelience #HealthyNaturalFats
Throughout time, they've been a go to breed, for their abundance of fat stored in their tails (similar to a camel ). Used to fuel fat lamps for💡ing & cooking. Less destructive than🐷🐽, super curly newborn fleeces were historically made into luxury Astrakhan hats, fleeces were also felted into shelters (gers,yurts, structures by other names , keeping them warm/safe during frigid winters), warm clothing/winter coats, multi purpose for home dairying as well...

Project Reveal, a find, & My Art (sketching project
Instead of a "gender reveal", I thought, "Why Not A Project Reveal?!" Woo Hoo!!! 😂
If you haven't "good humour", please protect yourself from my horrific singing, dancing & anything else which could possibly happen, offending "the sensitive". I must confess that I do have "BAD HUMOUR" in my genetics. /WARNING/ Of course, I'm no victim of it... Honestly, HUMOUR keeps you HEALTHY, YOUNG... 😀 On this occaision, I'd say MY MOOD was, "tired & rambling" . You know how artists are lol 😂
But anyway.... In the not too distant future, I'm building a "work station", for my "Vintage Handcrank Sock Knitting Machine", also known as a CSM. It will consist of a table (to mount it upon) , with rustic seating (all attached).
Also, collected up my sketchbooks, sharing some of my past art, business card/clothing label.... Decided to also do a quickie sketch of my project idea "on the fly". May it help you visualize my design, or maybe inspire you to build one yourself (if you also are into CSM's / inclined).
Enjoy, keep warm, happy, healthy, safe, positive and FREE (in our currently crazy world). 💪🇺🇸🌎🌍🌏 #UNITEDweStandInFREEDOM #BeHappy #LiveLoveCreate #MyArtAndProjects #Artistic SelfExpression #ArtistsLOL

Learning How To Handknit : )
You can "teach an old dog, NEW tricks!" 😂
It's only taken me 30+yrs (🙄🤫🤭always had"more important things" ) to finally "start knitting".... All I needed was "determination", "keeping my eye on the prize" & "focus".
Always remind yourself that, "YOU CAN DO ANYTHING" & "NEVER GIVE UP!"
I'm still in the process of learning/practicing/mastering my hand knitting skills...
For those who may be interested, let me know if you'd like me to make another video, from the very start (casting onto the needles & etc) in slow mo, for educational purposes?
If so, I'll try sqieezing that in amongst my other projects. 😉
In the future I do hope to create better content, as I acquire better equipment. 😉
Other that, keep happy, healthy, safe, positive, and warm (during this chilly winter season). ❤️🙏
Thanks for watching (appreciated) 😀

Exclusively Grassfed, Homegrown Icelandic Sheep Meat
Butchering one of our rams (which we felt had the lowest quality fleece).
Nothing compares to exclusively grassfed, homegrown, naturally raised Icelandic Sheep Meat. This is the first one we've ever butchered, since we've started raising this multi purpose breed. Our home butchered cattle, goats, swine, rabbits, pigeon, turkeys, geese, ducks, chickens...do not even compare.
All we did was slow cook it, over night on our old woodstove...no added ingredients (other than a sprinkle of Himalayan sea salt). 😋
Supposedly the meat is highly requested amongst chefs 😉... now we know why ha ha

Woodstove Cookery: Rendering Natural Fat
Woodstove Cookery: Rendering Natural Fat ( for future cooking ) & making "Homemade 🇨🇺 Chicharrónnes" , also known as "🇺🇸 Cracklins". All you need is a sprinkle of sea salt on your strained end product & ENJOY!!!! 😋
Our all natural cracklins, are made from sheep fat, collected during the butchering of an Icelandic Sheep.

You can use any fat.... we've done this using our naturally raised beef, pork, sheep, goat.... collecting fat from each home butchering.

The "cracklins" are always a huge scrumdillicious bonus 😋, but one of my favorite uses for well over 25+ yrs is, using "natural fats" on my leather boots. It's better than anything you could purchase/I highly recommend!

Ozark Mountain Road Trip
Ozark Mountain Road Trippin'
Today we went down some dirt roads...making our way across "Teeter Creek/Shingle Hollow", up the hill over towards Assumption Abbey. Last time I was there, was back in the 90's. My father entered The Abbey, with his homemade fruitcakes, telling everyone that, "his was better" & to try his instead! lol 😂🤣 This trip made for an amusing #memory which I'll never forget.
Here is a link to the Abbey, if you'd like to go

The Devil's Backbone is gorgeous!!!! Happy travels/enjoy 😃
I've added maps at the end, for your convenience.

Knitting on a handcrank circular knitter 😃
In this video short, I am knitting on a handcrank circular knitter... making a knitted hat, with a unique "waffle pattern".
This is what knitting looks like, for "the🖐️knitting disabled"lol😂
It's still heaps of FUN, until the goal is achieved!! #Knitting #SelfImprovement #PersonalGrowth Working on it 😉
Regarding the equipment being used... It's a German machine, of a sturdier build, weighs more/is made of a much harder plastic, unlike it's cheaper Chinese counterpart. You can research all about them for yourself, as there are many to choose from... I try my best to make smart choices/do my due diligence, not enriching the communist party, who wants to destroy and take over America.

Just something to think about. 😉
Back to my video....
Enjoying some experimentation, whilst I'm on a "waiting list" for my 🇺🇸 made, heavy duty, all metal, finely crafted CSM to arrive. After a planned "roadtrip",visiting the manufacturing facility, I feel that it's worth the wait/price to support American jobs/manufacturing !!! Responsible consumerism can have a positive impact! 😃😉❤️
Thanks for watching!!! In the future when we acquire a new computer/better equipment, I will be making higher quality content, of greater length.
My apologies, but this is the best that I can do for now.

The Arrival Of Our New Icelandic Sheep Ewe : )
The Arrival Of Our New Icelandic Sheep Ewe : )
She did really well during her road 🚗 trip, in our diy livestock carrier (made of junk scrap recycled wood).
Paying for a livestock hauler with a truck/trailer can be very very expensive. 🙄 It's worth being resourceful/creative with a fuel efficient car imho (even if I've always been a truck gal myself ha ). Enjoy 😃
More information regarding this amazing multipurpose hardy breed (below):
https://www.isbona.com/index.php/about-icelandic-sheep/ct-menu-item-3
Also, hardiness / resilience / the will to live, is something most modern breeds lack sadly. That is also why we chose this incredible primitive breed of sheep.
