The winner of our Aspen Herbals giveaway is Marcella Donner, who said in response (623 comments!) to our question asking what your favorite herb is:
“Mine is Chamomile. It has such a calming scent and there is nothing so relaxing as a cup of Chamomile tea steeped in my favorite cup while enjoying an evening gazing at nature from my garden swing my son built for me!! Come on over and share a cup and a swing!”
Congratulations, Marcella! Watch for an email from the farm. Thank you, everyone, for your lovely comments (all 623 of them–wow!). I thoroughly enjoyed reading them.

“I started off the new year by finally cleaning out my craft closet … and that was when I came across these crochet squares. I completely forgot that I even made them. Lucky for me, I have enough yarn to finish them, although I am not sure how many more I will make. Once I think I have enough, I am going to sew them together and make an afghan out of them, complete with a wavy border.
I’m really liking how the squares are turning out. I have enough leftover yarn too! So this is a great way for me to use up the leftover yarn as well. I will post a pic of the afghan on the chatroom when it’s finished.”
