It's a pleasure to tell you the tales of our family homesteading adventures here from our old farmhouse in Western Maine; to tell you about the things we make; and to share in what inspires my days. I love hearing from you! I now use a Nikon D300s, a digital SLR, with a variety of lenses. For me, my blog is a place of daily peace, a reminder of family joys, and a celebration of creativity.

. I read every comment and email that comes in, and do my best to reply to questions within the comments at the end of that day (so check back there if you've asked a question).

What kind of sewing machine do you use?I use a Bernina Aurora 430 with the BSR for free-motion quilting. I receive a lot of requests about our homeschooling days. I live with my family in an old farmhouse in Western Maine where we raise animals, grow vegetables and make lots of things. I thank you for that! And so forth. I thank you for visiting!

My suggestion would be to find your local sewing machine shop and try some out as well as asking other sewers what they use.

What kind of camera do you use? I started this blog in early 2005, as a way to keep in touch with far away friends and family, and to document my days as a stay at home mom to two young little ones. Can you tell me more about homeschooling? A few years ago, I wrote a piece "50 Things to Do in Portland, Maine with Your Kids Before They Grow Up" for AlphaMom.

I think the specifics of their education are one that I want to leave to them - to tell in their own time and their own way should they ever choose to do so, or to just hold close to home. I'm coming to Maine for a visit - can you tell me where to go?
