Are you carding wool to make sure it's of legal age?

You changed carders into careers. I hope your new occupation pays well.

oops

Way cool. Have you tried any natural dyes with your wool? Love to see traditional skills and knowledge preserved.

I've done a little bit of dying but not in a long time. I've used cochineal, coffee, tea, beets and other things that I can't remember. These days, I either leave the fiber a natural color or buy it already dyed.

I still want to make cider. I visited a local brew store a few months ago but that's as far as I got.

Splurging on the qiviut means my plans to make natural lip balm/anti-chafing balm/moisturizer has been delayed but it's at the top of my project list.

Too many interests, not enough time (or money).

Traffic Jam · Aug 11th 2016, 8:31am

Speaking of lip balm...aren't some of y'all beekeepers? If so, do any of you sell your honey or beeswax?

WanderingStovie · Aug 11th 2016, 12:03pm

Sometimes honey is sold in a jar with a bit of comb. Try grocery stores, health food stores, gourmet shops and the like.

IMScotty · Aug 11th 2016, 12:37pm

I have kept bees, it is a lot of fun. These days beekeepers have the odds stacked up against them between the various mites, colony collapse disorder, and so on. I've taken a few years off since I lost my hives, but I hope to start them up again in a year or two. I have to wait until I have more money and time. Sound familiar

I wanna make cheese just to piss off my doctor.

jimmyjam · Aug 11th 2016, 1:04pm

I think wine or beer making would be a great hobby. But if I get into anything else the misses would probably wanna kill me.

baybedolls · Aug 11th 2016, 1:45pm

My hubby got a beer making kit and has fun with that .. he is now looking into other ways to brew

my latest hobby is cooking so the wife is onboard with that one, but she's had enough of all my interests over the years, I'm slowin' down too and getting rid of...just stuff

jimmyjam · Aug 11th 2016, 2:01pm

I like to cook too but only because like eating even more.

Speaking of brewing and honey, I highly recommend mead.

Here's this months hobby: I gutted my jeep and rolled in a Monsta bedliner. One or two more nights and I'll have it on the road again.

I've done dirt, green grass, blood and wine....they all set pretty well.

What did you do the inside paint with? I'm thinking about pulling my carpet and doing Rino bed liner.

its called Monstaliner. Google it. Really amazing stuff. comes in like 35 colors. Thick and tough as nails when it cures. 1 nite to take the jeep apart 2 nites prepping (sanding scuffing cleaning) 1 Saturday morning and afternoon to put on two coats.

It looks nice. I hope you get a lot of use and enjoyment from all the hard work.

My ride (a bicycle) could use some pimping.

I started a hive a couple of years ago, but lost it when an uninformed neighbor hit her garden with an over dose of pesticide. As a result, all of the honey produced over the summer had to be tossed as I didn't know how much contamination was brought in prior to the bee's demise.

its called Monstaliner. Google it. Really amazing stuff. comes in like 35 colors. Thick and tough as nails when it cures. 1 nite to take the jeep apart 2 nites prepping (sanding scuffing cleaning) 1 Saturday morning and afternoon to put on two coats.

Those are interesting colors, I like that coppa feel but with a black jeep that jans panties would probably be a better fit, they have two colors that just don't fit their offering....black and white.

Not meaning to turn this into the jeep forum, but, how much paint did it take?

I helped a buddy prep his Bronco for Rhino liner. We had an issue with fumes when the vehicle was in the sun with the windows up.

Can't imagine what the upcoming colour **** to the wall will appear as.

Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes, where would life be without homegrown tomatoes....

max.patch · Aug 17th 2016, 2:44pm

i knew i was right...but now i have proof.

this is from the original patent illustration from 1891 for rolled toilet paper. it clearly shows that toilet paper must go "over" the roll and not "under" the roll.

You got that right. I love a tomato samwich. Tomatoes are big in the county where I live. They have an annual Tomato Festival with a Tomato Queen and everything. Over 35,000 people came this year, 38 years running.

that's a patent illustration of usablility. The Navy had us go over the top to. But that doesn't mean you have to do it that exact method.

You name it, they got it. Tomatoes more ways than I thought possible. It looks like a crowd for a state fair or Nascar race is going on, but it's just tomatoes.
