All things old are new again.....

We had a lovely day at an Artisan's Fair in our community that highlighted what would be considered old time activities, raising farm animals, spinning wool, sheep shearing, candle making, soap making, etc. It makes me want to do these things myself, and yet somehow life seems to get in the way! A month ago I was going to work to "perfect" the art of bread making. I made two loaves of bread that weekend. Somehow, even though they were far from perfect, I have not gone on to make more bread. That is sad. In past days, people would not have had a choice, but would have had to feed the chickens, churn the butter, spin the fiber, and even chop the wood. It is still my goal to perfect bread, and learn the art of making soap, but this probably won't happen till I'm forced to do so. So, for now, I will take off the pressure, enjoy crocheting a little, baking bread from time to time, and enjoy the life I am living now!
