Oh Grace, it is so nice to see all of the sweetness in your life! I love your patio, sauerkraut, and spinning! How can your little girl be 2 already! ♥️🐑♥️🐑♥️

My favourite place to walk in Rouge Urban National Park in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It's 1000s of acres in the city that has been left natural except for a few trails and the necessary car parks. This year I moved 1,000 miles to New Brunswick, on Canada's east coast, and I miss walking in "the Rouge". On a short visit back to visit family, my son took me hiking there and it was so wonderful to be back there, and to walk and chat with my son. I'm now exploring places to walk in New Brunswick and if you ask me again in a year, I'm sure I'll have a new favourite. I love your colourway and due to postage costs I don't usually buy yarn from Britain, but I may have to make an exception. Good job, you.

After your fermented cabbage gets to the stage or taste you prefer then just put it into the fridge. Even two tablespoons a day will help your gut repair itself. It’s so good for you.

Lovely crafting space indeed! Very soothing watching the fibre soflty blow in the wind! I was planning to join tour the fleece this year, but am sick in bed for the last couple of days, so will have to wait a bit. I am using the time to decide what to spin and it will be my first three ply, I think. I also love a crochet project once and a while, l like to make baskets to keep knitting and spinning projects. Cheers to more lovely outdoors crafting days!

Great to see you spinning and crocheting instead of washing or cleaning!! Keep up the good work Grace

We eat sauerkraut with potato pasta; it’s a staple in the summer. So happy that your little is learning about the handcrafts. Enjoying a laid back tour de fleece this year too with taking each week to wash and prep smaller fleeces to be spun during the women race.

Great to see you Grace under that lovely blue Irish sky 😊

So glad to catch your video! Your beautiful view makes me long to visit Ireland again! My Uncles made sauerkraut every year and I never learned how! We had a Heinz 57 family, German, Irish, Italian and a few other ‘varieties’~ family food get togethers were an interesting mix of food. Anyway ~ the Uncles would put the sauerkraut on sausage or hotdog sandwiches. The deli’s here make Ruben sandwiches with sauerkraut, pastrami & melted cheese on rye. Enjoyed catching up with you! Thank you for sharing!! And thank for the Merlin app advice!

Yes! the next step with sourkraut is to taste. I have had it take several weeks, but I usually make it in fall when my home is quite cool.

Watching this while we go through the hurricane in Texas. Where I am it's not terrible compared to others I've been through. But I'm spinning with my big window shades open and watching the wind blow the rain and the trees around. Lol it's cozy yet exciting if there isn't a threat of tornado or flooding so far we've been good.

Always lovely to chat with you, Grace. 😊

Always nice to have a visit!

I think it would be delish!

Love the new patio!

Lovely to see you! I am doing Tour de Fleece, am on a couple of informal teams. My goal is to spin every day from my stash. Successful so far. And oh yes, I am in a similar situation with SABLE ( stash accumulation beyond life expectancy) except I am a few years older than you.

Lovely to see you Grace! Watching this 2 days later and it is another beautiful July day here in Galway. I am sitting outside knitting a summer top, practicing avoiding housework or any other chores, so I'm with you sister ;) The sound of the spinning wheel is so calming, good luck with your projects. Btw, hang on to those precious yarns you have stashed in your craft room. They will be there for you when you are ready! 🧶😎

I have had sauerkraut on pizza too. Just a thought. Always love seeing you! 💕

I was considering Tour de Fleece because I still have a teeny bit of fibre left from a bits-and-bobs bag, but then the AC decided to be troublesome and now it needs replacing, sooooo nah! I'll save it for the fall.

Lovely visit. I enjoyed the fibers chat and other news. Envious that you were outside. It is 104* at 4 o’clock here in California. I went to pick up yarn to prep for our guild’s dye day next week. We are choosing a hat from Knitting the National Parks and figuring how to make all the colors. It will be the first project since Christmas. I think I have a little mojo to make some small projects. A quick story about my 3 y.o. granddaughter. On a recent visit her mom explained that they would have to in a little while (we don’t rush). Yaya exclaims lay yarn!” She grabs my hand to go in the craft room to get a small ball of yarn from the leftover basket. She loves to roll it and let it un wind all over the house. Take care of you and yours till the next time.

Good to see you Gracej. We love sauerkraut with pork chops!

If you have the room, keep the yarn. Especially the discontinued or one of a kind yarn. You'll find time to knit.

I like to eat we enjoy sauerkraut on hamburgers. You could totally use it on a meatless burger too
