Sap, Wool, Daily Excitements
It is tree tapping time again and the sap began running this week! We have only tapped 25 trees this year as we don’t want to commit to much time, but that should produce enough to keep us for a year. I will take pictures when the light is right.
I am felting springy things to distract myself from the snow and the ice and the cold:
Happiness is trading felted things for a new pair of earrings from Duet
Roo says “life is happiness, now let’s eat FOOD”
Jesse says, “please don’t take my picture as I am BUSY!”
(so no pics of him)
I put a nest in my hair and pretend to watch the snow melt
I am bored of myself, the end.

What a lovely way to distract yourself from the gloom of winter!
25 taps, wow! how many gallons of sap will you get from them? this year, i only put in 2 taps. i need to purchase more, i have 4 total.
however, just getting what i got, i made a little syrup and some i cooked down too far (i was using the wood stove)and ended up with some maple candy and sugar (yum!). needless to say, that didn’t last very long at all.
I’m definitely buying earrings from her!
I love your hair bobbers! My kids try to steal mine from me all the time!!!!
I so wish you were local. I just am finishing a piece on knitting, crochet, and felting–but I could NOT find any local felters to come out and show off!!!!! So frustrating!
Love you, hope you can breathe now.
Beautiful earrings! I love a good trade.
like that scrunchie too :wink-wink:

You are so not boring. I wish I could send you some of our sunshine; my little one picked all my bright yellow crocuses she was so excited for spring.
Love that yellow, sunshine, wool! So cheery. Beautiful.
You are never boring, my dear. I love your little distractions, especially the hungry one.
