Warmish and drizzly.
I am eager to get out to finish the garden clean up started over last weekend
while the sun shone, but I am not fond of gardening in mud.
So... seeing how it is still very early in the season, the garden can wait for sunnier days ahead.
I've busied myself with a few projects.
Polymer clay plant stakes were something I came across while trolling the internet.
I love DIY projects and dove headlong into this one, as I already had all of the supplies
in my craft room.
I assembled the polymer clay, rubber alphabet stamps, and an ink pad...
as well as a few common kitchen tools...
and in a matter of minutes had several herb markers hardening in the oven.
Roll the polymer clay, cut your shape (I used a pizza cutter and a ruler),
stamp whatever you want into the clay....bake as directed on package.
That's it....easy peasy!!!

Quick, easy... I love this!
Good gift idea to make for one's favorite gardener!

I have also been sewing my heart out...
baby bibs have replaced aprons for the time being.
Truly, these are tiny aprons for babies 6 to 18 months.
I can size them for 2 to 4 year olds as well.
I am pretty sure these are way too many for Mackenzie...
Each one is flannel-backed, cotton, machine washable.
$10 each
Email me (beehavenmaven@gmail.com) if you are interested.
I have also ordered farm fabric...sheep, pigs, bees, owls, and fawns.
Oooooh....and I forgot to tell you...
I have joined a fiber group that meets twice monthly.
Monday evening was my first meeting and I am learning to spin.
(now that's my kind of spin class!)

April 4th is shearing day here on the farm... and soon after that I will have my own wool
to start spinning!
I am so excited to share this with you!
I've been practicing with some roving that a friend gave to me (thank you Joyce!)...
and I've got to say there is a bit of a learning curve to this activity.
I am getting it....but it will take a while until my yarn is consistently the same size.
Practice, practice, practice!!
Spinning is incredibly relaxing...a zen-like activity.
I'm loving it!
