Saturday Round-up

 

So far this month has been mostly about weaving. I am going to leave that for a bit and concentrate on getting a few of my other projects worked on.

I have been knitting mitts and finding even more orphan balls and skeins of yarn to use up. Loving the fact that I have been able to empty two totes of yarn. Sure they were only partially full, but at least they are no longer taking up room on the shelves in the storage room.

I started foraging today. I picked the white clover flowers in our yard (hopefully I will get many more) and dehydrated them. I still have lavender and calendula flowers dehydrating. I have the jars to put the dried flowers in to make infused oil.

Started my lemon balm infused oil today. It should be ready to make into a salve in about 4 weeks. I am actually getting a head start on the infused oils this year and trying some that are totally different from what I have made other years. I will be gathering plantain very soon and hope I can find enough.

I am finding it very interesting how herbs and plants have lots of medicinal purposes. I am also finding it very interesting that almost every plant (even those one considers a weed) can be used to make an oil or a salve/balm/lotion.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.
