I know it has been a long time since I have posted. Not to much going on around the farm, with all the rain not much is growing (besides the grass). The sheep are doing great, and the new arrivals are jumping around and growing quickly.
Since it has been raining so much, I have been inside cooking and knitting. Here is a few pictures of my recent project.
Lamb sweater! Just incase we have lambs in cold temperatures. I will make a second in incase of twins. This one just needs Velcro sewed on and it is ready for use.
Elbow length fingerless gloves
Scarf for a friend/co-worker
When I saw this pattern I knew I HAD to make it! This had me written all over it! The sheep turned out great. I have it blocking now and I am going to sew a liner to go in it!
Today, I decided I would attempt making cheesecake.
White chocolate raspberry cheesecake to be exact! Keeping my fingers crossed that it taste as good as it looks!
Today was a very busy day. Besides cleaning and laundry :/ this is what I got accomplished
I started my day off snapping green beans and getting them ready to be blanched and frozen.
1 hour later! Done snapping :)
Blanched, food saved and ready for the freezer.
Processed the rest of the carrots!
And finished a pair of mittens! All before 3. I think I will take the rest of the day off. Well until it is time to make dinner.
Today I was getting ready to make dinner, and relized that I was out of potatoes. So, off to the farm I went to see what I could dig up.....
Red potatoes!!
Carrots!
Turned into a simple but great dinner :)
Of course, the sheep got the carrot tops as a snack!
While I was harvesting potatoes I glanced up and spotted something over in the green beans..
Can you see the tiny green beans forming?
2 huge zucchinis
You would think after living in Tillamook my whole life I would be use to the rain. Well I am not. I am so ready for spring I am going crazy. While sitting inside watching it rain yesterday, I worked on my Cross Stitch. On the right is what it is suppose to like when I am done.
Today, My Kitchen was BUSY!
Chicken Enchilada stuffing in the CrockPot.
My first attempt at homemade enchilada sause. I hope it taste good. (I Will post a picture of the finished enchiladas when i put them together)
Sorry it is blurry, but here is the finished product!
Blueberry Gooseberry Pie before it went into the oven, and yes that is a homemade Crust :)
Pie after it came out of the oven, my tapioca didnt desolve like it should have im not sure why. But i am sure it will still taste good :)
And of course, what would a blog post be without an AeroGarden Update? Everything is getting its second growth! Makes me smile!
For Christmas last year, my mom bought me some poppy seeds so we could grown our own poppy seeds for cooking. I was not sure what to expect out of these flowers, but much to my surprise they were big beautiful flowers.
I love to have plants that aren’t only beautiful, but they keep giving after they loose there peddles! Since I was not sure how well they would grow in our climate and how I would like them, I only planted a few, so I was only able to make one batch of Lemon Poppy seed Muffins, but they were really good! I will definitely be planting a lot more of those flowers this year!
This is a terrible picture! But it was the best i had!
