My Off-grid and need to be frugal diary

Today I've made some pendants out of single earrings. The job lot of costume jewellery I bought had a few single dangly earrings in it, so I added some chains and they've made really nice pendant necklaces. I'm really pleased with the way they've worked out. There were also a few single, large stud earrings. I cut off the post of one of these and mounted it onto a ring base and it came out well too. I'll probably be making some more stuff tomorrow in between the regular household stuff. I find making and fixing things very relaxing.

Tonight I've started re-reading Jim Butcher's 'The Dresden Files'. The main character is a wizard who ends up solving murders and is drawn more and more into the supernatural community.

DH & I were going to clean the gutters out today so we are ready for any snow as it can get heavy and deep. However, it's been raining non-stop all day so we couldn't do it. We will have to wait for the next fair day.

It has been windy so the batteries are all topped up, a load of laundry has been done, a dog bed washed, and the house has been vacuumed.

One of the dogs had a bit of a tummy upset yesterday and woke us up at 4am & 4.30am – she is fine today. It’s probably because she managed to sneak some sheep poop on her walk yesterday. We try to make sure the dogs don’t eat it but we are surrounded by hundreds of sheep, so occasionally the dogs are successful. That’s country living though.

When I have made a few more pieces of jewellery from the job lot I will post some photos. There are a couple of pieces I’m really happy with.

Tonight, I’ve been watching a couple of episodes of ‘The Good Doctor’ it has been good so far.
