This Snowman Treat Jar makes a cute Christmas gift idea. It comes together in minutes using repurposed materials. I filled an oversized peanut butter jar with inexpensive homemade sweet trail mix. Paint on black buttons, tie on a scarf and you’re done!

Wax-dipped pinecone fire starters make starting a fire easy & they look pretty in a basket. These are for our own use, but they make wonderful, inexpensive and very functional gifts too.

Have you heard of cooking a chicken ‘spatchcock’ style? That’s simply where you open the whole chicken and spread it out flat. It cooks much faster that way.
But we were wondering if we could do the same thing with a larger bird. Perhaps our holiday Turkey? So we sat out to experiment.

You need a new cutting board so you just buy one, Right? But did you know it’s pretty simple (and very inexpensive) to make an all-natural oak cutting board yourself.
We wanted to make small cheese boards to go with our homemade gifts. Come see how we did it.

As we celebrate the Independence of our beloved country, let’s pause and remember:
It’s the Land of the Free
BECAUSE of The Brave!
A hearty Texas Homesteader “THANK YOU” goes out to all who have served our country, both past & present.

I made a cross collage using arrowheads. It was placed in a shadowbox frame that was previously just an old (and ugly) repurposed key box. The wood frame was painted white and lightly sanded to distress the finish just a touch. I love the way it turned out!
