Our little brewery

I feel like we've got a miniture brewery in our kitchen! This year we have made Blackberry Wine, Rhubarb Wine , Hard Cider and a Cider-Mead. It will mostly be for gifts next christmas. We got rave reviews on the pear wine we made last year so we thought we'd try again this year. All of the wines and ciders are from fruit from our property. I can't wait to see how they turn out!

Felting class with Laurie Sharp

I took a Halloween felting class with a friend last week. It was taught by Laurie Sharp of Wool Pets: http://www.woolpets.com/ Her furry creations are the cutest thing I had ever seen so when she offered a class to teach how to make them I signed up. I made the cat and pumpkin and I commissioned her to make me the spider.

All my pretty tomatoes.....

.....I planted 15 varieties this year. We canned salsa, tomato sauce and diced tomatoes.

Wind fall fruit

I feel as if I've been doing nothing but processing fruit for the past 2 months. One more box of apples to make applesauce and applebutter with and then I'm done!

Making cider!!!

We borrowed a cider press from a friend. We pressed about 125lbs of apples and are in the process of turning it into hard cider, yum!
