Canning and sewing...Sewing and canning

Posted in Daily Life
This weekend has been fun...the first 3 quarts of applesauce are done and there are 14 quarts of chicken stock on the kitchen counter waiting for me to find room in the pantry for it. I probably still have 4 or 5 quarts of stock to do up today and I've still got 15 pounds of apples to turn into sauce. After that's done I'll go and get more apples. I'd love to have the pantry full of sauce, apple butter and pie filling!!

We've also been busy with the sewing machine! Last month I finished 2 dresses for myself and have another about 1/2 done. Mellie and Amanda have new nighties and I have fabric for another for each. I also picked up enough fabric for a couple for myself. I've also gotten a new jumper pattern for each of us for this fall and winter. I need to grab some lightweight denim for those.

Right now I've got to go and see the "birds of prey" flying over our field that Mellie came to tell me about.

Blessings,
Leigh-Ann

About Me

I'm a Christian woman who has had the blessing of being married to my best friend for a little more than 19 years. I'm also a homeschooling mom to our 3 great kids. We're trying to figure out how to stay country when country is disappearing at an alarming rate here in our little corner of the world.

Pray with St. Francis


Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is discord, vision. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. Where there is sadness, joy.


O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved, as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
