Root's Farm Market 2018 Christmas Fair Saturday, November 17 It was a fun day !     I had many compliments on my quilts.   One serious woman looking but she had to think about it.    I gave her my card. As far as soaps, I did okay.    Gave out some business cards and had a lot of fun answering questions.      I will proceed on my soapmaking journey.     Melt and pour is easy but not as challenging as Cold Process Soap. ... perhaps I will post my journey on here and link my facebook page to my blog, won't that just be so much fun ! Hopefully my vacation will give me lots of ideas. I hope everyone's Thanksgiving Holiday was fantastic and that no one burned out on Black Friday. I avoided Black Friday and will celebrate Thanksgiving with my family tomorrow.

I got home from errands today to find my first gardening catalog for the season.    This makes me happy !   It's wonderful to think about the vegetable garden.   I want to try several new items this year but have determined not to plant a large amount of any one thing. I have a freezer full of veggies but none of them interest me.   Usually, I freeze things in Ziplock bags but last summer I bought a little machine to air seal everything.   Unfortunately, I don't think that vegetables froze in the Ziplock bags were tastier than those that were air sealed.

This beautiful block quilt was fun to make.  This photo is before I pinned the quilt together with it's backing and quilt layer.    Gifted to my sister in Dec 2016. Notice the beautiful bed and nightstands that my husband made for our bedroom.
