It’s hard to believe, but it’s time to begin planning the garden plots again. Darling Husbie gave me the prod the other day when he mentioned he hadn’t seen my master plan drawn out on engineer paper. Well…um…uh…that’s because I don’t have it done yet. To get started, we made a list of everything we [...]

You’ve heard mention my new hobby of quilting now a couple of times. So, I thought I’d give you a peek at my first-ever attempt of a quilt block. I think I’ve figured out that if anything will provide a means of practicing sewing skills, it’s quilting. The background is a rich chocolate color, the [...]

Almost two years in the making, and the master bedroom curtains are finally done and hung. They’re certainly full of country charm. They display a certain amount of, shall we say, character. Yes. That sounds good ~ better than they’re full of oops and uh-ohs! I’ve never claimed to be a seamstress. Shaw! I’ve never [...]

I’m not sure why I even made a menu last week ~ I think I only made what was listed two nights. Nothing seemed to come together as planned, not just the meals. We’ll see if I can’t do better this week! Monday ~ Waffles with Strawberries and Whipped Cream; Bacon; Eggs Tuesday ~ Taco [...]

The Prairie Farmstead Pantry is officially complete! I am beyond excited ~ and I just have to say I have the bestest Darling Husbie in the whole wide world…and a most awesome pantry! It took us a little longer than we thought, mostly because of Husbie’s wacky work schedule, but we got it done last [...]

I was remiss in sharing our menu last week, but I can assure you, we ate very well here on the Farmstead, as usual. Although, my beloved Darling Husbie may tell a different tale. It seems there is one particular ‘meal’ I put before him a few weeks ago that he is not going to [...]

Can you believe it?! Me ~ the one who never wins anything ~ actually won a prize! And, honestly, the timing could not have been better if I had planned it this way. This is my new adorable ironing board cover. I know, I know. Most of you are thinking that I really need to [...]

…to get out of Honey-Do’s. But, this is one of the most creative methods I’ve ever seen! Now, this is neither my soldier nor our couch ~ but it is too funny not to share with you. I know some of my ‘deployment sisters’ have seen this photo before. Hopefully, it will remind you of [...]

Abigail here…and I’m not a happy camper! I’m spoiled rotten, and I demand all of the attention, all of the table scraps, all of the toys and all of life’s great comforts ~ including my blankie on my recliner. I am not one to share these sorts of things. So, this one time at band [...]

Wow! I didn’t realize how lackadaisical I’ve been about updating you on the progress of Project: Pantry. No wonder Darling Husbie keeps poking and prodding me! If it’s been too long for you to remember where we left off, you can check out the last photos with that link. Basically, all that was done was [...]
