The Fair and Food

The fair is one of my favorite summer activities. Some are better than others for different reasons. The large county fairs in Califonia were bigger than many big State Fairs in some of the states I have lived in. I think how our communities are changing and the weather may have something to do with the lower turnout at all the fairs.

On the Farm: Visitors, Animals, and Food!

 On our little farm along with the animals, there was food and several visitors. All of the visitors were family. After moving out here, the remodeling started… and the inside of the house was a jumble. Having any guests was completely out of the question, especially if they were staying overnight. Next came COVID and ...

new blog post up

 

Summer doings in Kentucky have been more fun this year. Unlike last year, no one was able to visit us and see our little slice of 'God Country'. So this year we have visitors, crafts, sewing, blocks, and winnings. I was working on another post but got stuck... So I thought I would show you some of the creating interruptions.

A Busy Waiting Season

 It's been a busy waiting season. I started several posts. How many "Life on the Farm" posts are too many? Creativity was not a topic either, I had not been creative. That has changed a little.

Life in the country seems to be about the only thing I have to share... no one wants to hear about .....

More from the Country

Things are mooooving along out here in the country. While the virus rages, we seem to find plenty to keep us busy and therefore at home most of the time. I find myself looking at the sky more often than I did in town. This reflection of the clouds in ...

COVID-19 and the Stay Home Order

So how is this mess going for you? I have to say that it started out pretty strange, having to "stay at home". We are enjoying the farm and can't imagine being in town close to friends and neighbors and having to just stay home!!! It got a little rough... but got better when I made some changes and choices! At first, like so many others, I was at a loss for what to do. Not like...

My favorite season is spring. All the new springtime growth, especially the spring flowers that have a very short lifespan. But there was just a little more… than vegetation this week.

Some Visitors

Spring on the Farm

The title is loose, as far as spring on a farm goes. Unless a 'clowder' of cats and a flock of hens is farm material.

Springtime Neighbors

As I mentioned last time... with spring and some growing grass new neighbors have MOOOOved in! This morning. There are about 20 cows and 10-12 calves. Several are just a few months old

Using the Tools

I started this post on using Quilters Select Rulers because I had an opportunity to show them off in February. Once I figure out what to say, I think about supporting pictures and that leads to more things to say, and then more pictures, which makes for more post parts. So I will break it up into smaller chunks.

My Style
I really like simple and straight forward, and I hope you do too. I want to share the (my) creative process with you as well as the products “I” use so you can feel comfortable with the products available at I Have A Notion™ .....

The State of the Store : Values, Stock and Products

In a little less than a year the state of the store has changed significantly. The web site started crashing and elements were not functioning requiring major renovations.

What are the Goals
