                      Hello everyone. I'm Faith, a stay-at-home mom in Sandpoint, Idaho. I have 3 kids: 11yo son, almost 5yo son and a 3yo daughter. I am a seamstress and craft nerd. I love most things crafty and fabric oriented. I have been dabbling in more home-made/grown things like canning, making wine, and gardening. I love baking, too. I'm looking forward to chatting with folks here. I have a dream of a small farm someday, but for now we live in town.
  Have a good day! Faith

                      Hi Faith,
  I answered your email, but wanted to welcome you officially.  I've been spotty on the forum lately due to some family things and trying to catch back up with life.  So happy you decided to join us.
  Debbie

                      Hi Faith, 
  Welcome to the forum!  I too, live in Idaho, about 20 miles south of you.  I visit Sandpoint often, especially when I get the Coldwater Creek yearnings.  :)  (They have a great wine bar there, but I'm sure you knew that already.)
  I've thought about making wine, but I opted for making red wine vinegar - I figure that later on I'll try making wine and if it doesn't turn out well, I'll know exactly what to do with it!
  Again, welcome; you'll have a lot of fun here.
  XOXO  Shelley
