I'm a home school mom of 2, model stitcher and a test knitter. I love to cook and try new recipes. I also enjoy canning, freezing and drying - just love to see those shelves fill up!
When I'm not in the kitchen, you'll find me in the garden, or doing all types of needlework. I also love the challenge of trying to stretch our budget as far as possible.
