Sowing Seeds

By Manuela Williams

Here are a few ideas to help you cultivate your nest:

 

Solar light jars – what a cute and inexpensive way to light your garden path or the walkway to your house for a party. The Hand Me Down House shows you how to make them!

Cute and easy slipcover for an ottoman. I should have started with this project! But it’s definitely on my to do list. Tutorial featuring her very cute dog @ On The V Side

Check out Farmbrarian a cool site that reviews books having to do with sustainability, urban homesteading, local food and more!

 

Last but not least I want to introduce you to Caroline at Boho Farm and Garden. She is doing the very thing with her property that I hope to do with mine AND she’s a professional interior designer. Her house is gorgeous, her chicken coop is gorgeous, her farm is gorgeous. I mean everything she does is just beautiful!

    Thanks for sharing the websites. I will definitely be checking them out especially the last one. That is the first picture I’ve seen that matches the picture I have in my head of what I want our backyard to look like in the next couple of years. We just picked our first peaches (delicious) and my head is spinning with ideas to start pulling up grass this fall to extend our vegetable patch and orchard. Have a great weekend. Patty

    LOVE that slipcover idea! I have an ottoman that is desperate for a slipcover…I actually have a piece of fabric over it right now that I keep wanting to make into a slipcover…just haven’t had the inspiration to do it…now I do! : )

    Awesome links Manuela! I had seen the jar lights on pinterest so I was excited to see the tutorial. Boho farm just went onto my google reader, great blog. Hope you have a wonderful weekend:>)

    I will have to visit the last one you mentioned! Her house IS gorgeous!
    How is your slipcover coming? I am hoping to see it before I start one.
    Hugs,Cindy

    Hi Manuela!
    I love Boho Farms… I’ve been visiting her for a while…so is so industrious with her little plot of earth! She certainly makes the most of her space.
    I’ll have to go and check out the other two sites for sure!

    Thanks for linking them and sharing what you’re reading online!

    Some fun places to visit on this hot day! Thanks for the ideas.

    Manuela, I’ve been blown away by the cost of groceries lately. Wouldn’t you like to share some of your ideas about dealing with the serious inflation that is going on at the grocery store? Seems like it’s been awhile. 🙂
