I was finally able to finish my latest creation that I have been working on for over a week now. The whole project will take about 2 hours to complete and with most of that time being drying time. I decided to use mod podge on the handle to keep the fabric clean and washable. It only required about 10… Keep Reading
embrace the camera {in the dandelion fields}
One of my favorite things about spring is how the fields up the road become covered in dandelions. Those fields become the most beautiful place for a photo shoot for me, while the kids have fun picking the flowers and running around in the fields. This year thankfully my sister-in-law agreed to cart me and my 3 kiddo’s one minute… Keep Reading
A repost & Crafting for the pigs.
**This first part I’m reposting because it was deleted the other day when blogger was down.** I have received a lot of emails wondering how I have been feeling. While I wish I could tell you that I’m feeling back to normal and all is well…I can’t. I’m just getting better at “living with it”. So while it may seem… Keep Reading
Fat Quarter Friday {giveaway}
Today is my 2 year mark of selling on etsy. It was a hard decision to make, but it turned out to be one of the best. But mostly if it was not for selling on etsy, I never would have started this little blog of mine. This blog started out just as a place to promote my shop and… Keep Reading
embrace the camera {momma’s day 2011}
Mother’s Day weekend was spent like most weekends around here. Daddy spent all day Saturday moving firewood back to the house while I taught the kiddo’s how to peel the bark off the chunks of birch trees to use as paper. We literally spent all day Saturday doing this while playing outside. Sorry y’all we don’t lead extremely exciting lives… Keep Reading
How to make butter in a canning jar
A few of you wanted to know how I made my butter in a canning jar, so I thought I would share the way I make it. Some people allow their cream to warm to 60′ or room temp, but I don’t. I guess if you allow the cream to warm a bit, it causes the butter to be less… Keep Reading
Meet Wilbur and Ray
The newest additions to our family and yes…my Mother’s Day pressie! I’m looking forward to the hours of entertainment they will give us and all of the garden and table scraps they will be consuming.(And of course I would be lying if I didn’t say the yummy bacon and pork chops they will be giving us too!) BIG THANKS to… Keep Reading
Headbands for the girls.
I finally got to do some crafting this weekend and boy did it feel great! Now granted I only spent about 15 minutes whipping these headbands up and they are far from being inventive as I see them everywhere but at least now I know why. They are so fun and easy to make and with how quick they go… Keep Reading
baby chicks.
Daddy brought home 30 baby chicks today. And the kiddo’s can’t get enough of these cute little birdies. They spent hours in the barn last night watching, holding, petting and squealing at them. They even had to tuck them into bed last night. Our little boy loves to hold and snuggle them, while our little girl would rather just pet… Keep Reading
Homemade microwavable popcorn
Did you know that you can make your own microwavable popcorn? Me neither. Well after reading this post yesterday I had to give it a shot. Oh yes, it was DELISH! Just as good as popcorn made on the stove top minus the clean up. Thank you Jami, this is the next best thing to our homemade butter in a… Keep Reading
