I am a single parent of a handicapped teen,also i have 2 dogs-one is handicapped and the other is a thief(LOL).I do everything that i can in the old ways.I make food as i'm able,mixes,most everything from scratch.I make most of my own cleaners,HBA's.I love this way of life,it's very hard but it's definately worth it,especially since so much processed food is being tampered with.I quilt,sew by hand and crochet and am learning to use a Sweater Knitter,i knit some by hand but don't like how long it takes,I can anything i can get ahold of.I try to use everything and waste nothing.
