June

June is a big month for us.  My lovely baby's birthday is in June and she is now 15 uggh!  All the church camps start so running around crazy.  The heat and let me just say that again THE HEAT of summer is here.  The garden starts producing, and the animals start with babies.  Just all the things.  I have managed to get some sewing in.  We are Dave Ramsey followers so we do the envelops and are on a budget.  This means handmade gifts (good thing I can sew right).  I made some father's day gifts this year.  I did a shave kit for the hubs.  He got a promotion and travels a bit so he needed one.  I did 2 of the minikins patterns from Sew Sweetness.  I did the Binary and Zeppelin pouches.  I used brown cork also from Sew Sweetness and a quail print for the lining that I have had for ages.

I also made the Crimson and Clover Train Case for an oily friend who signed up with me for Young Living.  I made this as a thank you for signing up.  If you are interested in signing up with oils please let me know or click here.  You don't buy oils from me its just showing you how to get started, and you buy directly from Young Living.  I will be glad to send you a thank you gift as well.  Message me for details.

That is all for now on a June update.  Have big things happening and will be sharing in the future.  I have a retreat coming up in November and I am really trying to sew more and share more about the country life and healthy life.  Don't forget I am on Instagram so hit me up over there.

Have a blessed and amazing week!

Hello friends

Hello friends!

It has been well over a year since I have made a post on my blog.  Life is Life ya know!  Like there is only so much time in a day to get all the things done.  I have actually missed it.  It surprised me to have these feelings.  I do post on Instagram still and share my sewing stuff, but I feel like I can share more here. 

We are in full garden mode around the house here.  We are even gonna start a 2nd cattle herd here at the house and have been setting up for that.  A good place to start is or weaned calves.  Our main goal is as always wildlife so we have it all set up with that in mind.  I will have to get some pictures and show you what I mean.  People think we are crazy how we do things, but proper grazing management is all it takes and we can run just as many cattle as those who just have an open continuous grazing system.  That's a whole other discussion and if you would like to have it shoot me a message. Anywho...

One thing I am supper proud of myself about is I finished all the projects in this years Bag of the Month club.  I have been a member since forever and have made some of the projects.  This year I got it in my head to actually do each bag each month and finish them all.  Yeah Me!

I even used cork for the 1st time and as you can see I really liked it and used it on 4 out of 6 bags.  I also sold my very 1st bag this year.  The top left to be exact.  That felt good.  

Another newish thing for our family is we are making a huge effort to clean up our products we use.  I know I have mentioned it before but I am a migraine sufferer.  I did the functional medicine program and all I know to say is life changing.  Ever sense I have really been trying to do better with things we use and that can affect us internally and on a cellular level.  I used essential oils a little within the program, but I have really gotten serious about them, and better cleaning products and skin care.  So I went crunchy and am now all in with Young Living.  I can't tell you what a difference.  Like I am not a person who is at all someone who is into something on a whim.  I am a scientist and I study and need the proven facts.  I am also a biologist and understand how things work with each other in nature.  I also Hate going to the doctor with such a passion lol!  Anyway if you would like to know more about my oils journey please feel free to contact me.

 

Oh I am now a mother of a 15 year old.  Not sure how that much time has passed but it has.  I needed some calming oils to get my head around that for sure!  I guess that about catches you up on things.  Until next time....
