Happy Hippie Days...

Look what I found at the thrift shop today --a retro hippie coffee maker for only $3.00!!  I'm not sure what I am going to do with it yet, but I'm sure it will look good next to my retro camper (when I get one) or it will come in handy for serving coffee on the the farm (when I get one :-P).  For now it is just sweet eye candy...

Leg Warmers for Furniture!

How cute are these?  I made these little leg warmers for my wicker stool.  I was inspired by an article in the February 2012 issue of Country Living.  Just the right project to welcome the coming Autumn season.  Makes me anticipate fireside lounging and hot chocolate.

I crocheted my slip-ons, but the ones in the Country Living magazine are knitted.

Both the pattern and finished product are available from  biscuitscout.etsy.com.  Her hand knitted cream aran armchair slip cover is on my wishlist! Amazing....

My Ideal Scene...

I am reading The Millionaire Course, "A Visionary Plan for Creating the Life of Your Dreams" and Marc Allen says you should write a one page description of your "Ideal Scene" (imagine your life at it's best!).   This picture is a reminder to me...

My Ideal Scene:  I live on a small working farm "sanctuary" where animals are not killed (not sure what will be farmed yet; pumpkins, christmas trees, maple syrup, goat cheese, wool, lavender, herbs or local produce?).  Our farm life will be very self-sustaining and we will make our living by farming, blogging, offering classes (art retreats, cooking, re-purposing, etc.).  Our life is our work...we promote green living, family life and a reverence for all life.  We have an onsite store (the RE-Store) that houses our wares and latest up-cycled creations.

See my additional pages if you are interested in my specific goals and how I plan to attain them.  I will also be posting regularly on the successes and any set backs we may incur.

Join me on the Journey!.....
