An Off Grid Life

Weekend reads

Good afternoon on Saturday!

I'm in northern Ontario at the moment, and it is a warm(ish) but dreary afternoon.

This week, I'm getting our holiday recipes, articles and new downloadable printables ready to roll out in December.

The next few weeks will be busy with various projects, homeschooling, and a trip to Sick Kids Children's Hospital in Toronto for one of our younger children.

This time of year, I usually focus on handicrafts, especially fiber crafts.

I'm a longtime knitter (I've been knitting for 45 years, thank you very much) and crocheter. Over the years, I've tried my hand at quilting, cross-stitch, and rug hooking, too.

And tomorrow, one of my daughters will join me at a felting workshop. I'm excited to try something new.

In the meantime, here's the latest on the blog.

Grab a coffee and enjoy.
