So what does a farmgirl do?

A typical day here at the farm.....

My morning starts out letting the girls out of the coop and feeding them, then moving on to the barn.... (we free range them and collect the eggs for us and for friends)

The goats are all anxiously waiting for feed and to be milked. (I make cheese, ice cream, cajeta(caramel sauce) and fudge)

Along the way I have to watch for these guys...(these ducks are great because the are mouse catchers and excess feed eaters and they don't quack like other ducks)

Then there are the sheep that need feeding and some scratching on their backs and bellies. ( We raise wool sheep and my sister and I spin the wool into yarn and sell our fiber, yarn and finished goods)

Then there are angora rabbits to feed and water and brush.(We spin their wool also)

There are peaches to pick (among all the other crops)

There is jam to make. (This is strawberry)

Ta-Da!

Then I water gardens and crop areas, I tend to the bees, and lots of other things. Once the night arrives and the animals head to bed, I have time to go into the studio and create. That's when I go "ahhhhhhh". Life is good and I'm living the dream.

These are some of our guineas. Such a sweet picture.

Thanks for looking at a day in the life of this farmgirl.

Have a fabulous day!!

Fresh Start....starting now...

How does it happen? You start a new blog and then you get busy with life and reading other folks blogs but you never seem to get back to your blog? Hmmmmm.......

So I draw the line now and start fresh.....

Ready.....

Set..............

Go!.............................

I have been creating all kinds of new fashions..upcycled, recycled, whatever you want to call it. I go to GoodWill, Salvation Army, local thrift stores, habitat for humanity, garage sales, estate sales, etc.., and I buy gently used clothes and pillow cases, tableclothes, doilies, dresser scarves, lace, etc.., Over time I have collected quite a collection. I've finally decided it's time to start using these items and making things. So I will start presenting them here and then start offering them for sale in my etsy store and on my website.

Here are the first necklaces that I created:
