DIY Eucalyptus Wreath




Hobby Lobby has a pretty cool eucalyptus garland strand for $19.99...I got mine on sale 50% off. If you go to get one and they are not on sale, you can use the Hobby Lobby 40% off coupon. Then get yourself a 10" inch round grapevine wreath for $4.99. 
It's so simple to put together too! I took the garland and placed in on top of the wreath and took a sprig here and there pulling it under a twig until in place....I did this all the way around. If you wish you can also glue gun pieces into place all the way around or tie in lace with green floral wire. I just tucked my pieces into place and it is holding on very well. I spent $10 on the garland and already had the wreath at home. It was a great way to cheer up our home for a fraction of the cost for ready made wreaths with I found are between $30-$50.
Isn't it pretty?

Feedsack








I'm a sucker for the colorful fabrics of yesteryear...Especially when it comes to feedsack prints and bright happy prints on linens. These beauties will be found in upcoming bags/purses. I love the Dresden's with different prints...So playful! Can't wait to get it all out of my head!

Chicken Scratch~ Got A Little Behind


Catching up to life around the ole' homestead. Almost Spring cleaning, sewing, sorting, organizing etc... Our washer broke so have had to take our clothes to a friends house for the past two weeks. Thankfully we could do it there while we wait for the new washer to be delivered this week. The things we may take for granted! I love having a washer and dryer  and so thankful we don't have to tote everything to a laundry mat. We are also picking up our garden gate and the lumber for our garden boxes. We have already passed one week this March already and I'm feeling like we are so behind. Our church family had five deaths the past couple weeks, we've been driving back and forth to the city for classes and theater, bible study and other meetings, plus a baby shower this weekend. 


Yet, I did manage to sew up the other two sugar bag totes...I just need to add the shoulder straps...
Then they will be ready to sell. I am also sewing up another Kelly Flour bag and more designs to come..We are also planning/ prepping for The Farmers Market in town this coming this May. My daughter decided she wanted to sell her baked goods, so we are going to plan on her getting her own space. She will be baking with organic and local farm goods such as eggs, butter, milk and honey. She plans to use lavender, lemons and honey in her goodies. We've already started taste testing...She is bringing some goods to her theater group for taste testing & feedback from friends as well. Now to decide on her lil shop name. We thought this would be fun for the both of us to do the Farmer's Market together...Can't wait to do this with her! Plus hoping I can find a crafty venue this Summer to sell my Farmgirl Freckles goods. Well, I best be going, I have stuff to do...LOL
