I remember this day 12 years all to well. The father of my 3 half sisters and half brother was killed at 3:30pm by a drunk driver. He was a junior high art teacher, he was on his way home from work. He was stopped to make a left hand turn into his driveway. A very drunk man smashed into the back...
We have prime rib, from a local butcher shop that is grass fed, twice baked potatoes, homemade rolls and cheesecake. I don't like pumpkin pie and turkey is kind of boring. We also stay home, DH and 2 DS. Anyone else do something different?
I just finished the top for my son's quilt he will get for Christmas. The plaids are all from DH's old shirts. I will emboider his name in the plain blue square. I still have one more top to make for the other little guy. Hopefully I get these both done in time.
I am considering raising some meat rabbits. I have a pet rabbit so I understand basic rabbit care. I have done some research and still have a few questions. Ok is it necessary to remove the nest box from the doe's cage or can it always be in with her? I am assuming it is best to have a soild...
I am going to make a king sized rail fence quilt with 4 different rails. Can anyone give me an idea on yardage? I searched and only found yardage for smaller quilts and I am horrible at figuring this stuff out. Boarders aren't an issue I can figure those when I make a final decision on my...
My girls just started laying about 3 weeks ago now my question is, I bake often and my eggs are still on the small side. Should I use an extra egg, whole egg or just the white? Will the extra yoke effect my baked goods at all? Thanks

I am super excited about this. I don't know the family but it sounds like they really deserve it. I have lots of friends and family that have volunteered.
For the most part I love my MIL, she is a bit out there but she truely loves us and would do most anything for our family. Her dog recently died and she is having a hard time admitting it was because she didn't take good care of him. She loved him to death, literally. He was so obese it was sad...
I went out to feed and water my chickens this morning and one of them was laying right by the door and didn't move when I opened it. I looked closely and her comb is partially black, she is an RIR about 19 weeks old. I moved her away from the door and gave her water and food right next to her...

Ok my mini schnauzer ran away over a week ago. We looked for her and didn't think we would ever see her again. She took off in the direction of a busy street and we live just a few miles from an area that has packs of feral dogs. So I got a call today that the shelter the next town over picked...
6 RIR chicks, seemed perfectly harmless. I just wanted some chickens for eggs. I had no idea they were a dangerous "gateway drug". In an effort to learn as much about them as I could I started reading this forum. They just needed a simple little coop, well that turned into an 8 x 8 shed with a...
I have an 12-13 week old BR that is mean all of a sudden. She got stuck behind the massive lay box I built and I don't know how long she was there. I have since removed it. As soon as I got her free she was fine, walking eating and drinking. However its been about 2-3 weeks and since then she is...

I know I can't be the only parent that refuses to buy a ton of stuff for my kids for their birthdays or holidays. I do get them gifts however I try to make the birthday or holiday about family or the reason for the holiday. I didn't buy anything for my youngest when he turned one because he...

I know it's a little early but I wondered if anyone would be interested in doing a handmade ornament swap? I was thinking about making tiny quilts for ornaments like 3in by 5in, I also have made several small cross stitch ornaments. Let me know if you are interested
I started making blocks this week for a quilt for my brother. He is getting married in September. I am already half way through the blocks I am making. My sister is going to make some blocks as well. Here are some pictures of my blocks so far.
I want to make a basic 12 inch pinwheel quilt block. I can't find directions on one any where. I need to know how big to cut the squares I want only 1 pinwheel per block. Thanks
So I went to the co-op for feed today. DH and kids stayed in the truck. They still have chicks I just had to look and they had silkies!!! I want some soo badly but I walked out of the store without any! My husband doesn't see how hard it was for me to NOT buy more chickens. He thinks I am crazy...
