Katie See

I pretty much need a new pair of shorts every summer, and so I’ll often turn my old jeans with large holes in the knees into shorts. This summer I again found myself with only one pair of shorts so I figured I’d make another pair and get a bb at the same time!

Here is me cooking an egg. I hope the video works.

Dandelions are popping up all over our yard, so I made a decoction. I washed the roots, chopped them up, added water and let it simmer for 20 minutes. I will say, it was quite bitter. I added what I thought was a lot of honey and it still tasted pretty bitter.

Sorry about that! Here’s some more pictures. I’ve looked through the manual a few times and looked at my machine and everything seems to work the same and be in the same places. Hope this helps!

It looks like my link might not work so I’m trying it again:

I recently bought my sewing machine, but it didn’t come with a manual, so I found one almost identical online.(The only difference I can find is mine isn’t as pretty.) Because the machine hadn’t been used for a while it took multiple times of oiling for it to move smoothly and not squeak. Here is the link to the manual:https://archive.org/details/instruction-book-for-wards-sewing-machine

We don’t have trash or recycling service, so we bring our recyclables to the recycling center, our neighbors let us use their trash service, and our paper goes to the paper gator. Our recycling system has been in place for a while but here are the pictures of me setting it up.

Well done, Katie! Is it poky from the feathers? I've thought of using duck feathers...
It’s not very pokey, but I mostly used the more downy feathers. One of our chickens had been attacked by a hawk, and there were feathers scattered around so I collected the ones I wanted and washed them and dried them in a pillowcase.

We definitely have had plenty of snow to shovel lately.The walk to the chicken coop was very uneven and hard to walk on so I shoveled off a few inches to flatten it.The sidewalk is about 20 or so feet, and the stretch going to the chicken coop is about 50 feet.

I have a lot of cotton fabric that I got for a good deal from a garage sale, (fill a large grocery bag for a dollar,) and so I used some of it for my pillow. It is going to be covered with a pillowcase, so no one will see the fabric. I stuffed it with chicken feathers, and a bit of cotton fabric scraps.
