Green Thumb

Plants are beautiful and very useful as well. However, I’m not sure they like me. I did not do well in Field Botany and I had Job Kuijt as a professor. Growing and caring for them is typically a real challenge for me. Basil is one I particularly like as I put it in homemade spaghetti sauce and compound butter. This plant surprised me and thrived!

Mitts

When it is -20 Celsius or colder, then mittens are much better than gloves.

I made these with beaver fronts, calf upper, inside mitt is elk. They are lined with sheared sheep and fleece. The frills are deer.

The cord is so you can take the mitts off and work with bare hands when necessary.
