happenings on the hill & on my needles~

hope you all had a good weekend

we cleaned the barn & while it's not my favorite thing to do, i love the feeling when it's done!

we're also (and i say "we" although i do very little of the work) making raised beds

we've battled with our soil since we moved here 10 years ago

for years we have tried to amend the soil with so so results

this year we took the plunge 

we're (and again i say "we" while doing little labor...at this point)

also doing some updating in our kitchen

that project actually started in fall of last year

so far he has added a dishwasher, put the micro above the stove, painted the walls,

installed new baseboard heaters, replaced the counters with butcher block & painted the top cabinets

no hardware yet...it's still in the bag

moving along slow but sure!

and while he's working away in the kitchen or the garden

i've been knitting!

( i'll more than make up for lack of work when it's time to can )

this cute little project is the creation of dag, her first pattern!

you can find her creativity here enchanted shorty shrug

my friend jesse from wee pleasures is hosting a kal

it's not too late to join!

what's been keeping you busy?
