The road to self sufficiency

I actually have some very definite goals for how to spend my time if I can reduce the number of hours I work.

  • Making jewelry to sell at craft shows and eBay.
  • Blog reviews about various topics including the side effects of diet pills, eateries, movies, and products.
  • Gardening for sustainable living.
  • Producing knitted items to sell at craft shows.
  • Making unique, original painted glass projects to sell at craft shows.

Actually, I could do some selling at a local flea market or perhaps at a farmers market that allows hand crafted materials. Maybe by next summer, I will have enough herbs to sell at a farmers market, too.

I need to develop more raised beds (ground here is pretty rocky just a couple of inches beneath the soil) for growing herbs and some basic vegetables. I want to also plant fruit trees and grape vines. Maybe even eventually get 4 or 5 chickens and a milk goat, like I used to have.
