I make quick & easy denim baskets using repurposed denim from old worn jeans. You can use them as a cute country-themed part of your home’s décor or even as cute gift bags. And it takes only sewing three straight lines. If I can do it, anyone can!

We like to listen to music at night as we fall asleep. So on our nightstand RancherMan & I had an older-model clock radio.
We were pricing clock radios with digital dials but we were surprised that they were kinda pricey. So we put our heads together and came up with the PERFECT solution.
Use whatcha got is what I always say! Check out this Homestead Hack that worked so well for us.

We have two tractors, a 55 hp Mahindra for the big jobs and an older and smaller 32 hp Ford 1910 tractor for mowing, disking, etc. RancherMan usually hops on the newer big-boy tractor with the higher horsepower and front-end loader to do the rough stuff. And I happily allow him those tasks.
Recently our Mahindra dealt us an unpleasant blow by having a deteriorating gas tank, rendering it USELESS. So much for the reliability of a fancy-schmancy tractor that’s only 5 yrs –OLD!
So RancherMan went to work playing tractor mechanic for the Mahindra. But it was the ever-faithful Ole Blue Ford tractor that pulled the load on the Homestead.

I used gorgeous reclaimed aged wood from our old 1880’s barn, vintage clothespins and my favorite Homestead photos to produce a wall photo feature we love!

We needed a headboard for our guestroom. I wanted something old, but antique shops are just not filled with queen-sized headboards.
So we used repurposed wood from our 1880’s barn. I absolutely love the way it turned out!

We love to watch the Purple Martin birds flying around our elevated birdhouse. See how we made a homemade predator guard for our martin house using an old chimney cap to keep the snakes away from the birds!

I wanted fingerless gloves, but I wanted to make them myself. In 5 minutes I was able to upcycle long socks into oh-so-cute fingerless gloves with NO SEWING! See this easy tutorial.
