I am not sure if it is the economy, the idea of being a "wife" in the near future, or just being in Carrboro for too long, but I am on a super "homesteading" kick recently. I have no idea if that is the correct phrase. I am dying to bake my own bread, make jam and yogurt, make a quilt, have chickens and thriving garden.
I am taking a class from the bread-bakers at Weaver St to learn how to make really good sourdough (and they give you their starter!), I anxiously peek at my budding veggies daily, and seriously.. chickens would be awesome. Or ducks, a la my childhood? I am hoping to pick up some more ideas when visiting Norma in a few weeks.
Any other suggestions? I want to learn to quilt.. recommendations?

I'm totally with you on this one. Want to get a farm and leave the corporate world and academic life behind?
Yes. In Portland. And we wear nothing but Hunter boots, wool, and corduroy. It's a plan.
Hehe, I'm going to a quilting class today. I'm just making a Hawaiian quilt pillow, but by the time I finish all the classes I need...this is gonna be one pricey pillow!
My advice...find someone who starts the big sewing work on a machine and then actually quilts by hand to teach ya ;-). A little more "instant" gratification that way. Go team Martha!
