"Today, I emphasize a most basic principle: home production and storage. Have you ever paused to realize what would happen to your community or nation if transportation were paralyzed or if we had a war or depression? How would you and your neighbors obtain food? How long would the corner grocery store—or supermarket—sustain the needs of the community?" (President Ezra Taft Benson)

We see weather being crazy all over. Also, prices so high we need to continue to be frugal and to stock up. We need to be ready for our family and others when the need arises.

At this time of writing....it is the day before my 67th birthday.

I got an air fryer from our youngest daughter and her husband. While I am learning it still, I did do these...

When we would celebrate our anniversary or special events, we would eat at a favorite place and this is what we would have, it's a favorite of mine. A big thank you to my sister-in-law, Lynette, for steering me to the recipe. It tastes just like what we would have so now we can have them at home for way less. So that is wonderful to be able to make this.

I look forward to seeing what else I can do with this machine.

I am continually trying to learn things. We can learn and I am thankful for that.

I made this little sweater and I am wanting to make the others in the set. It was a fun knit.

I am still weaving rug mugs. I am loving this color the best. I have no information on it, I even did a search and nothing. It was an odd leftover ball from the yarn haul i got so many years ago. I think I would try to dye something that will be close to it.  We will see how I come out on that. I am amazed I saved it as it was so small. But that said, I wasn't going to use it as it was kind of ugly but at the last minute i thought okay and working with the warp it is so pretty together.

I am trying to build my skills.

How are you coming on building your skills?

I am very much enjoying working on this shawl.

Use the long dark winter to develop skills.
