Howdy everyone! Hope y'all are staying warm & enjoying this winter season! Here are some pictures we wanted to share!
Had fun putting this little front door wreath together!
Our Kitchen Queen wood cook stove is keeping us good and warm!
We found this rooster wall hanger at the Hobby Lobby when all the metal was on sale! Isn't it cute with our apron hanging on it?
This wash tub is the perfect size for the days wood & keeps the bark & dirt off the floor!
Another view of the cookstove- we love the tile, it's easy to keep clean & catches any stray coals & ashes when checking the fire. We collect sticks & twigs for kindling.
This is our temporary "couch". Love the iron against the barn wood!
Buckwheat Micro Greens- we love them in smoothies, salads & soups!
On the left is a cookie sheet painted with chalk board paint for chore lists. On the right an old garden rake makes a wonderful hanger for these dish "towels" made from cotton shirts- they still need hemming!
Amish doll on the old iron bed.
Pay no attintion the mess on the counter!! Wamted to show off our antique jars!!
Made Poor Man's Pecan Pie from the Homestead Blessings Cook Book for Christmas! Jasmine made a Gluten Free crust with pecans & butter- Yum
We've been weaving rag pot holders on these cold winter days.....
And dipping pine cones for fire starters! Just place a few in a basket & add a tag- a great gift for those who heat with wood!
We stayed busy for several days rendering lard- it turned out so pretty & white!
The moonflowers yielded so many seeds! Mama's been packaging them up ( using envelopes that had sealed shut from the humidity & some scrap paper) for a seed swap & to give as gifts!
These are just a few of the projects we've been busy with! We are enjoying this time to get some organizing done before seed planting time!

Many times throughout the day we pause and think of how we are so thankful for each of the donations that you all gave to make this house a possibility- we LOVE our home- THANK YOU!!
