Intarsia by Garnet Hall
We are pretty much settled into our acreage here, on the out skirts of Estevan, Saskatchewan. We bought 10 acres of dirt and rocks. So I named it "Rocky Top". After 10 years of planting grass and trees it's starting to look like something. A lot of trees committed suicide but I just kept planting more.
I still have a few bee hives. It always seems like a miracle when I pop the lid on a honey super and it's full. Still find it hard to believe a bunch of insects could do all that. Honey prices are going up so it could be a good source of extra income for retirement.
Tried a few craft sales this year back to the basics so to speak. Been over 25 years since attending a craft sale as a vendor. The market has changed. More and more people shopping online. Pinterest has really shaped what people sell, less originality. Not sure where this will go.
But it will be a challenge to sell hand-made craft in this market.
I am still working on new Intarsia patterns and hope to do more scrolling patterns.
