Scares

 Happy Halloween!

I'm still working on homemade pizza...I just think Papa Murphy's is hard to beat.

I started another quilt. I know...no shock here. It's a civil war design.

Dakota Man made this bowl that didn't pass inspection 

so I had him turn it into a jack-o-lantern 

and it's pretty dang cute.

Want a good scare? Read the book on the North Dakota Wolf murders.

 The first snowfall for the season 

called for apple cider doughnuts this morning.

I dug out my tote of old felted sweaters to sew and knit these slipper sox.

They were really an experiment for me, a learn-as-I-go project.

They would be super warm in a cabin in the snow but not really a camper in Texas.

DIE ERMORDETE FAMIELIE

 A book recommendation for you...

Daughter Knit and Pearl lent me this book.

If you like real life murder mysteries you will will enjoy this book.

Enjoy? When eight people are murdered in North Dakota enjoy may not be the right word.

Seven family members and a young boy that was working for them.

The eighth member of the family was left alone crying in her crib for two days

 until a neighbor finally looked in on them.

This abandoned farm was the scene of the murders.

When daughter knit and pearl said they would be pheasant hunting in the area 

I sent her exploring and to get me some photos. Morbid right?

The family headstone reads...DIE ERMORDETE FAMIELIE

(The Murdered Family in German)

Buy or Borrow the book!

sawdust and paper

 Dakota Man came across a great way to use up 

all the sawdust leftover from his projects.

He made himself a sawdust log maker.

He used what he had buying only the plastic pipe.

You fill the pipe with your 24-hour soaked sawdust and paper

 then use the press on the left to squeeze the water out.

We always have lots of shredded paper to get rid of.

Reduce Reuse Recycle

The darker logs are sawdust only and the white ones have the paper in them.

He discovered the paper and sawdust combined make a more solid log.

He will burn his sawdust logs in his woodshop fireplace the next couple of months.
