Recovering A Crappy Harvest-Gold Stadium Seat

Y’all remember I recently wrote about our road trip to visit our all-time favorite aunt & uncle in west Texas? What a wonderful time we had while we were there. It seems we can never get enough of these two amazing family members! 

While we were there we went to several garage sales. The sales in Amarillo are AMAZING and have spoiled us forever in going to garage sales anywhere else. LOL 

RancherMan was looking for a small stadium seat to use in his hunting stand,. But these things apparently really retain their value and he was not pleased with the prices he found. Even for the used ones!

The good news is we found one while out garage saleing and it was basically free!

The bad news is…  Well, it was not only U-G-L-Y harvest gold plastic, but also in bad shape with torn edges and foam sticking out. 

This stadium seat was U-G-L-Y harvest gold with torn edges and foam sticking out but my aunt said "We can recover it easily!" #TexasHomesteader

Diaper Wreath Tutorial For Super Cute Baby Gift

by Texas Homesteader ~

When someone you know is having a baby, you want to get a little something for them, right? But what?

How about getting several little baby items and displaying them into a pretty wreath?

That results in a dual-purpose gift. The parents-to-be could use the pretty wreath to decorate the nursery until the baby is born. Then they can use each of the items as needed. And a baby wreath is super easy to put together too!

An easy diaper wreath, customizable for either boy or girl. A decorative (yet useful) gift presented beautifully! #TexasHomesteader

I wanted to make the cornhole bags myself using my stash of denim scraps from RancherMan’s ripped jeans.

Come see how easy it is to whip up these cornhole bags yourself.

We needed 8 bags to go with our custom Cornhole Game. Look how easy it is to make your own Cornhole Game Bags - they turned out GREAT! #TexasHomesteader
