My Apple Annie

Kitchen has been abuzz since GD Leigha arrived.  She was going to just pick "a few" apples and plans to dry these...that is when the dehydrator is empty from the third batch of plums which are in the metal pan while the second batch is finishing in the dehydrator. Besides the dried plums there must be a gallon of plum nectar in bottles on the counter.  I have very little counter space but she has filled every square inch.

 Her sour dough bread batter is in the mixer.  She brought her own sour dough starter with her from Alaska and packed it in her suitcase...  Unfortunately it exploded in route all over her clothes. We managed to salvage enough to keep the starter going.

She has also wanted to learn to sew and did very well at about every thrift store in town and is repairing or recycling her finds.  Figured the featherweight was the best machine to start her on.










I had some patterns with simple lines and she went through my fabric stash in the barn... Here she is explaining to me how she wants

to layer and coordinate the fabrics she has chosen...  Tomorrow I plan to put her to work in the center part of the barn.
