I'll tell ya'll why in a future post.<br /><br />Hey Swampy! thanks! I will.<br /><br />Hey Melissa! I have actually rubbed it all over me as a bug repellent! Didn't work real good but maybe a little. It does make me incredibly sleepy though! lol!<br /><br />Hey Erin! That's a pretty good idea! I do have a catmint plant but it doesn't get near as big as the nip. I made Grendal a toy for Christmas stuffed with the nip and it was so strong smelling she tried to eat it! I might have to modify things!<br /><br />Hey Sal! that's a GREAT idea! I'll do that! Although the reality of my clay is not quite that romantic; it just comes from a box! lol!<br /><br />Hey Pam! I've been meaning to post some pics of some of the new wildflowers and such! I'll do that soon too! Yeah, little pillows would be easy; I think I'll have to do that.MamaHenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018971960706063902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-40543154878479315862012-04-05T07:09:25.702-05:002012-04-05T07:09:25.702-05:00Hey Annie, I always like seeing pix of the land ar...Hey Annie, I always like seeing pix of the land around your house: what wild things are growing, stream life etc. Also, I second the notion of drying the catnip and just stuffing tiny pillows wiht it, like 2X2 inch squares. You could easily sew those by hand, even. I don't have cats now, but when I did I remember that catnip pillows were great inside-house toys for them.pamithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00605982455002622554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-54948653807754650782012-04-05T04:28:05.563-05:002012-04-05T04:28:05.563-05:00Annie, being a knitter/spinner instead of a potter...Annie, being a knitter/spinner instead of a potter (pottery artist?) I don't know much of anything about how my beautiful mugs got from the ground to my table- I'd love to see a step-by-step photo journey of how your gorgeous pieces go from the riverbank (or wherever the clay comes from) to our shelves and cupboards...Sal in Mainenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-11359235283282295082012-04-05T02:06:09.045-05:002012-04-05T02:06:09.045-05:00I just love the garden posts.

As a niche market some cats prefer mint to catnip. I don't think I have ever run across toys stuffed with mint.

I wanted to grow some last year for that purpose, but I wouldn't know what to do with it after I grew with it either. I think you're supposed to get the oil out of it, or make a tincture, but I don't know how to do either of those things. Maybe you could just crush it and rub it on yourself. Sounds fun, too!Melissa Jenkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671992975667465476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-37005839422484118682012-04-04T22:12:02.387-05:002012-04-04T22:12:02.387-05:00Looks like the garden is coming along well, keep u...Looks like the garden is coming along well, keep us posted.Swamp Doghttp://doublebhomestead.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-69334289730899913082012-04-04T19:47:10.396-05:002012-04-04T19:47:10.396-05:00All of what you are doing with your place sounds g...All of what you are doing with your place sounds great and self-sustaining, Annie. As for how to make a living, selling pottery only goes so far, I suppose, but there's also selling some of the eggs and veggies, which may not net a big profit but allow you to remain self-sustaining. Perhaps you would want to eventually do something again in construction, but on a smaller scale? As for suggestions on what to post, I sort of like what you are already doing.Beatrice P.
