day 1




Welcome! My name is Tavia and I live in upstate New York. My husband and I and our 2 kids have moved from the city to the country trying our hands at homesteading these past 6 years. We built a cordwood house with only hand tools. Lived without electricity and running water. Tried our hands at beekeeping, dairy goats, Icelandic Sheep, chickens, etc. I have learned about harvesting local plants for medicine, beer making, cheesemaking, canning, organic gardening etc. All these adventures have really shaped our life into something I could have never imagined.


Throug the midst of all this chaos, and it really was/is chaos, I have relied on art to give me solace. I love art, in all its forms. My favorite media is probably fiber. I love to knit spin dye felt etc.


My hope for this site is to help share patterns and ideas to help with the creative process, along with some homesteading tips I am learning along the way. I know there must be people out there dabbling in similair adventures, hopefully we can help each other.
