It's winter on the farm. Although Spring begins to creep in, we are currently buried in snow. The greenhouses aren't warm enough to produce a bounty, the animals are using this time to rest more than frolic, the hiking trails are slippery, and the frigid wind burns my face.

So, I am spending more time indoors. When daily lessons are finished, the kids and I are busy with games, books and crafting. Always crafting.

If you'd like to catch a glimpse of what I'm making, please head over to The Slow Season Stitchery.

This is my tiny virtual craft studio.

I share about my knitting, spinning, weaving, sewing, embroidery, felting, and daydreaming. I've begun accepting commissions for 2026, too!

Sharing a peek at life on a small fiber farm in Greater Lansing, offering local mending services, fiber arts classes, commissioned handknits, seasonal farm goodies... and sporadic sharing of it all when life slows down on our homestead. 🐑🐏🐣🐇 🐐🐐

Here's the tea... no, really! We grow and preserve fruits and veggies all summer long, but it's the homegrown herbal and tea that truly keep us going in winter.

Chamomile, calendula, lemon balm, nettle and other lovely flowers and leaves are my favorite thing to preserve and use when temperatures drop.

I am thrilled to find a surprise Hungarian Breadseed Poppy thriving amongst the zinnias, this morning!

My green-thumbed son and I LOVE these show-stopping flowers.

In fact, we love them so much, we saved all of our seeds from last year...

But then, he sold them all as part of his entrepreneurial greenhouse business, leaving me with NONE.

So, this volunteer poppy will be guarded, nurtured and appreciated to the fullest. 💖
