HST Tote Bag Pattern

Over the winter I taught several sessions of my tote bag class. It was such a hit that I...

I have been over here working on this awesome Imagine quilt. I'm working block by block and its all custom; some designed on the computer, some freehand. I've been sharing on my stories, but the light was finally a little less orange today to share a color correct photo here.

Air quality is still listed as hazardous for us, but its already so much brighter outside today and a little warmer, so that means the smoke is lifting some. There's still a big fire to the east of us, and northern parts of our county are on level 1 evac (Be Ready alert), but hopefully they get more of that contained soon. Rain keeps getting pushed back in the forecast. Crossing our fingers for Friday. We're still perfectly safe right here in our town from the current fires burning.

I couldn't even see the woods this morning. I could barley see the fence when I first woke up. Heavy fog and heavy smoke with an air quality listed as "hazardous". I talked Aaron into tarping the half-done chicken coop today (rain beginning tomorrow) because I don't want to work in the smoke again today. I still have a smoke-hangover from yesterday. As soon as a door is opened the whole house smells like campfire. They say things should begin improving tomorrow. #sometimescrafterfarm

I was wanting to share some quilting photos today, as I am working on a custom piece...but its so dark, and so orange from all the smoke from the fires. So I'm sharing our apples instead. @sometimescrafterfarm

It's that time of year again: canning everyday and scrambling to find more canning jars. Seems this year everyone is canning and we're finding it quite hard to get jars. We use a lot of diced tomatoes, sauce and paste every year and I'm happy to report that over the last year I didn't buy a single canned tomato product from the store, so it's worth it spending weeks on end canning our harvest. #sometimescrafterfarm

Enjoying a few more quiet mornings while I can. We'll be starting up with school again in a few weeks. Normally I wait to officially start until after our fall road trip, but for obvious reasons we won't be going on that this year. We won't be having our yearly homeschool campout this week either. I typically do our "school" photo at the pumpkin patch, but those have been "outlawed" by our governor this year, so that's out as well. Homeschooling an only child in Washington state has been very isolating this year. I could literally count on one hand the number of times he's been with friends since last October, just before Aaron's surgery. • I'm still trying to wrap my head around having a 7th grader. We'll be starting on an official writing program for the first time, and possibly moving into algebra this year as well. I'm still trying to find a good US history curriculum and figure out what to do for science. I was dissecting frogs in 7th grade, but I'm not willing to tackle that here at home. Plus, I don't think my kid has the stomach for it. I try to remind myself that his knowledge of what we do here on our little homestead is beyond what most kids his age knows, and that is a lot of science, so things do balance. He knows more about geology than most 12-year-olds, thanks to our years of road trips to national parks (and my love of all things geology). #homeschool #homeschooling

This morning feels like a fall morning. We don't get nearly enough summer here, but I'm always ready for autumn when it arrives. #kittygeorgette #caturday
