un-trivial pursuits

Besides a LOT of school, my life has been busy spending time with friends, getting back to music practice, and all the chores that go along with farm life. (Cooking ,cleaning, canning, etc.) In the midst of all that, our family has been trying to get our farm , Shear Pleasure, into a more profitable state, and launching a side venture, Udder Delights, selling our homemade goat milk soap. I've been working on packaging, and came up with some super-cute tiny tote bags that would make perfect gifts. (I know the one in the picture is really girly, but I do have fabric for more manly ones also) Another project I've been working on is a "fabric rescue attempt " :) I made a beautiful long skirt for my little sister last year....and she promptly wore it on the first rainy, muddy day that she could, thus ruining the hem. So I took it all out, washed it, cut off the stained part, and turned it into a dress, which she loves. Anyway, here are the pictures.
