I created this blog to document my projects and my progress.  I bought a new sewing machine and have a million projects I want to try, but I am still learning how everything works.  I am teaching myself, with the help of my mother-in-law on the phone, how to preserve food by dehydrating, canning, and freezing. I am having a DIY wedding celebration next year where I am trying to use only recycled or rented materials (and hoping for local food).  One might see posts about my husband fixing up his camper van or our weekends camping...I will see where this all ends up!
