Onion Ring

Onion Ring

     I finished my doily.  The pattern is from Robin, "Onioin Ring Magic Square."  I made the middle a little different, by continuing the circular pattern.  I also had to add a few beads to the edging.  The completed doily measures 10.5" X 8.5," using size 20 thread.  I need to make one more doily for the other self.

Farmers Market

Farmers Market

     Our local, Bonners Ferry, Farmers Market has started.  But, due to the virus, only essential vendors are allowed (food, plants and cleaning supplies).  The only thing I could sell is my hand sanitizers that hang on a purse or bag.  I've been making these for four years and they rarely sell.  People never got, that germs are everywhere.  The virus has woken people up to this.  We have been using hand sanitzer since it came out.  I always have it on my purse.  While making a few more (I had a few bottles of sanitzer, I had gotten last fall), my sewing machine belt broke.  Pretty good for a belt lasting 33 years.  Unfortunately, I have to wait???weeks???months for a new belt.  I do have my mom's, heavy duty Singer sewing machine as a back up.  I'll wait to sell these, maybe mid to late May.

       After building the rock jack.  We decided it would look better if we had two more to bring it all together.  We have two along the main street and one more by the house, lining our property.  It was hard to get a picture with all three in the picture...but look carefully. 

Ranch

      Very few people, know what these are...

     This is a rock jack.  People who live on ranches, in the rockies, knows what they are.  The ground is too rocky to pound post in, for fences, so we build these and string our fence wire too.  

     We have an abundance of rock at our new place and they seam to sprout up new ones every spring.  We decided to build a rock jack, as you come onto our road.
