We had a lot of Japanese beetles this year. They ate all the leaves on all the apple trees. So not many apples at all. But I started to notice the leaves growing back on the early June apple tree and then it got blossoms. I have never seen this happen before. Then, last week, I saw these little tiny apples. How cool is that? I don't know if they will actually make bigger apples, because we are already getting cold at night here. But we will see.
And my very first elderberry syrup. With my own elderberries and honey!!!! It's SO good too. It's not deep purple like the dried berries I've used before. But it's amazing! I will have no sniffles this winter!
I made 3 more batches of soap last week. No more til I can make some money and order more lye. I am out.
The top left is Dragon's Blood. It's a fragrance oil. I have noticed the FO turns the soap way darker. But it smells really good.
Top right is Blackberry Sage.
Bottom left is Lemongrass.
Trying to get ready for a show Sept. 26th. I need to make more needle felted sheep and dryer balls.
My dread-locked lamb, Cara. I love her bangs.
And her twin (not really, but they look so much alike) Buttercup. She has the same dread-locked bangs. So cute.
Misha, the alpaca. He always looks like this, with his ears straight up.
This is the way Sugar always looks. Ears down and that look on his face that just kills me. He is letting me get a little closer all the time now. But still won't let me touch him. Funniest animals ever, these alpaca boys.
Now I am off to my knitting class. I am knitting myself a sweater. I post pics later. But I love it already. And I hope I can get it done soon. It's cold outside!
I hope you all had a great weekend and a good week.
