It's 90% Successful



Only 1 out of 10 "flew the coop" and of course it had to be one of the spry white ones, they all look alike to me.
So when the "man of the place" gets back from the feed mill, I'll see if he has any ideas on how we can resolved this dilemma.

This picture reminds me of the new entry they are going to put in the Webster dictionary,
"Boomerang child" 
Leaves the coop and as a adult wants to move back in. Now grant cha, it is not due to financial reasons here unless we can count that the food source is in there.


I'm off to go make sweet relish, oh yeah did you catch the Pioneer Woman debut on the Food Network this morning? She now has a show, showing her and her family on the ranch here in Oklahoma and cooking. She had made Chicken Fried Steak, now you would think that since I'm now a country girl I would know how to make that but I really don't. I just have learned how to make proper gravy only in the past few years.
So I guess I could give her method a try.
I know the "man of the place" would love it. He is pure cowboy by heart.
Till next time
Kat

    Chickens are funny! I passed on that show. A little too staged for me, too much fat, and not exactly on a budget from her cookbook. I wish they'd show a REAL homesteader doing real, edible cooking! Homemade bread, cannning, etc..

    You are right about the fat and being staged. I did enjoy seeing what her place looked like. I knew it was a big place. And it would be great to see a show you describe.

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl c...
