I don't know quite why I've ignored this blog for so long. Summer is just too full, I guess. And I don't know if I have any readers left out there. Hello???!!!

Life is beginning to slow down a bit after having overcommitted myself for quite some time. I began writing a book with a friend, teaching an occasional class, and selling at the farmers' market in addition to my regular part-time job. I've cut back on the away-from-home work and the book is nearing completion, so things are becoming a bit more manageable. I've concluded that for this season of my life, I am happiest working from home.

The photos are from our farmers' market stand. This was our first real year of market--I had helped a friend a few times last year--and it's been quite a learning experience. I'll post more on that sometime later, and also on my latest experiment: soapmaking.

Hope you've all had a good summer and are reaping the fruits of your labors!
