It started with some pickles



The idea for a blog that is. We were in the middle of making some pickled beans and Mom HAD to empty the dishwasher at that exact moment, while she was waiting for her hair dye to process no less. In amongst the laughter at her not being able to wait, she suggested we start a blog as we'd probably have some good stories. When we started considering all the things we do, we figured we have tried most crafts and thought we just might have enough to say, so we're giving it a whirl.

Lisa (on the left): I think I've been an old lady since I was young. I like knitting (starting with several long strips of "snake blankets", as my dad called them) and crocheting and now I'm expanding to dabbling in photography, card making, and now preserving food. Hence the pickles.

Jessica: Things really got started for me while I was on maternity leave with my daughter Rachel.

The pickled beans should be ready right around Thanksgiving, so we'll give you that full story then!
