I am on YouTube
I am on YouTube
I never thought I would be brave enough to try YouTube but I though I would give it a try. I am not in front of the camera yet. I am still getting used to hearing my voice on it. I was trying to think of ways to let people see what I do as a homesteader, so that they can see that there is no right or wrong way to homestead. It is all up to the individual and what is right for them and their…

Garden progress
So far this spring, my seedling have exploded! They get to go outside on the nice days and they love Outside. Sadly we are still having some cooler weather at night so I make sure they are brought in. The past couple days have been very wet and rainy.
Pumpkin seedlings doing well
I have already planted my potatoes, onions, garlic, beets and carrots in the garden. They have already started to…

Getting the garden ready!
Today was really the first day that we had to get some things around the garden done. We have spent the day cleaning up the strawberry patch and the herb/flower garden and basic yard maintenance. I can’t wait to get my vegetable garden started!
One of my handsome boys!
My seedling are looking very nice and still have awhile yet before they can be transplanted but seeing my garden area getting…

Weather is fickle
I had to put a fire on again. The weather has gotten cool again
I have been waiting patiently for nice weather to arrive and I thought that had until this past weekend. It has been raining and snowing off and on all weekend. The cool temps have dampened my mood to do much.
My rhubarb trying to survive in the new snow
On a brighter side my seedlings are growing well for the most part. My…

Good morning! Spring is here!
I know spring was officially here in March BUT where I live there is still tons of snow on the ground. Spring to me means that the temperature stays above -1 or -2 Celsius consistently day and night. Looking ahead in the long range forecast, we are looking fantastic for temperatures.
Random spider plant 🙂
So last year, I started planting my seedling indoor in February, which was way too early…

First market of the year!
I will be participating in a craft market tomorrow. I haven’t done a spring market in a few years because my stained glass seems to sell more around Christmas.
Just a sample of what will be available in the crafts market
This year I have new items that believe will sell any time of year. From windchimes to sun catchers, I have a nice variety for people to chose from. I didn’t realize I had so…

New spinner and wind chimes
Spinners are not my favourite projects but they look amazing! I do love the end result. I have made a few of them now and I have learned something from each one that I have finished.
Spinner done !
This last one that I fished today was an afterthought. I had no intention on making one like this but I had beveled glass that I had no idea what to do with it. So I whipped it up today and even…

Getting ready for spring!
I am so excited for spring this year! I have just ordered my green house and it will be delivered on May 1st. I decided on the traditional shaped and the dimensions are 10×13 ft. With the option of buying the expansion kit later if I need to.
Not my photo but it looks like mine
I need to get some gravel to make a level base for my green house and set it up properly and secure. I can’t wait to…

Patience is a virtue
Patience is a virtue
I have been (not so) patiently waiting for things to warm up in my area but it is so hard! Last year I had my seedling all planted and they were all growing very well indoors. I learned though that starting them so early doesn’t necessarily mean that I will have an early harvest. In fact, I found that it hindered their growth or they were ready at the same time as the seedling I planted directly…

Dreaming of summer
I have been working on some cute projects that has me dreaming of the warm days of summer and even though I don’t travel much I have always enjoyed being on a beach looking at the beauty of the water and enjoying the sound of the birds. So with all that in mind I was trying to think of something to make that portrays the “beachy” theme. So what I came up with was a small wind chime made with…

New project finished
I have been trying to figure out what to do with these tiny lanterns that I bought and have had them in my closet until the thought hit me! I have been wanting to make wind chimes for awhile now and just couldn’t come up with anything that was original and unique. I was just playing around with my dremel grinder, trying to figure out how to make holes in glass without it breaking on me. It…
