How to Make Easy Small Stepping Stones for Garden Edging

I am an avid gardener and needed some inexpensive garden edging that was flat so the lawnmower could easily drive over it and therefore not require a lot of weed whacking. This is the method I now use. It is relatively inexpensive, durable, can be made quickly, and can be made in batches as you require.

How to Knit Fair Isle Patterns

Fair Isle knitting, also known as Norwegian knitting, is a knit design worked in stocking stitch using different colours of yarn. Instructions are given for knitting with a sample pattern for practise.

My Ducks!

I just wanted to show this picture. Every year we have a mother duck and her babies come to eat seed fallen from the bird feeder. I always throw out a scoop of seed for them. This year, a flock decided to come as well. They never got any closer. It was interesting to watch her protect her babies and keep these big guys away!
