Volcan & Cerro Punta, Panama

Mist covered mountains... all the time... a.k.a. The Cloud Forest.

We drove up to Volcan and Cerro Punta... all I can say is... its breath taking!!! These 2 towns are on the other side of Volcano Baru. Cerro Punta is the highest inhabited town in Panama at 6,000 ft.

The scenery was never ending beauty!

Here is a very cute hotel between Volcan and Cerro Punta.....

In Volcan the land is very rocky but still rich volcanic soil. Lots of dairy farming going on here!

You can barely see them in this pic but Cerro Punta is lush mountains covered in GARDENS!!! I'm talking lettuce, onions, cabbage, carrots, potatoes and on and on! On the side of mountains!!! How awesome to have such rich fertile soil, some rain everyday (which means no watering) perfect weather for growing... not to hot, not to cold... never freezing! And also I noticed chickens running around everywhere on most farms.. instant fertilizer! And eggs!!! I wish I had chickens...

So on one side of the volcano is Boquete... full of coffee farms and fruit trees... on the other side is Volcan, lots of dairy farms (which also means goats would do well there! I love goats!) and Cerro Punta... full of vegetable gardens!!!

Below at our little round house... Brian has made a new friend... the awesome dog belongs to the owners of Isle Verde. He likes to fetch... oranges! Which are plentiful all around... if there are no orange's on the ground he will jump up and take one right off the tree! I love dogs!

Lots of new stuff!!

I LOVE this bag.... Its another Ellen Medlock pattern. Its called the Karma Bag! My mom and I both took a class at the sewing expo 2 yrs ago and made one... but I didn't like the fabric they gave us so I gave it away.... and after 2 yrs I finally get around to making another one... In fabric I do like! This is vintage fabric from the attic of my great aunt in Nashville.... Mildred. The inside is lined with some adorable Scottie dog fabric I bought at Jo anns .... left over scraps from a wrap I made my mom for Christmas one year. The EXTRA awesome thing about this bag is its exchangeable because of the way the hardware is made.... just twist off two of the little tips... slide this purse off another on... twist caps on and you're off with a different bag! Now I gotta make some different bags to go with this! Which should help my ailing purse wardrobe.... cause I really love this bag! My B-day was last month (big 36!) and this is what mom gave me.... An adorable and much ne

Just alittle hoop action

I think I'm getting better! hmmmm... I've got enough bruises from the hoop I should be better! I still can't hoop on my chest for long... and there's a good reason for that! lol!!!

New Donkey milk soap!

A new soap coming soon! This is Rosemary Lavender Donkey milk soap! Made with therapeutic essential oils, and premium ingredients like grape seed and sunflower oil! Purifying Clay and minerals give added benefits and pretty colors! I’ve been making homemade soap for several years now. I’ve always used the cold process method but after much research decided to try the hot process method. Mostly because with it I don’t add my milk until the end after the soap is cooling, the ph is balanced and the chemical lye is gone. Leaving behind correct ph pure soap.. which I then add my precious and highly skin beneficial donkey milk too. Looking forward to trying it and seeing it there is a significant difference!! On the crochet front.. I’m pretty much crocheting everyday again now that I’ve decluttered all that fiber!! So now I’m trying to get a handle on my supplies and organize. I love being organized!! I’m not one of those people who can stash yarn in plastic tubs or under the bed! I’ll fo
