Welcome to the 9th Homesteading Carnival. I suppose we should start doing ‘theme’ for each carnival but there is such a wide variety of homesteading subjects, I think it would be simply impossible.
Amanda of My learning Experience writes about her first time in making a bag. Look What She Can Do!! An easy step by step way of making a nice carrying bag. Stop over there!
Take a stroll over to the HSB Front Porch and find out about Iodine & Its Uses. Nancy Carter explains, "I was reading about how farm owners should stock up on 7% Iodine before July 31st. I think I once looked for iodine at TSC to use when our horse had thrush."
Here’s another "do it yourself" job as
Matthew of Cymbrogi Farm tells about Barn information. He says, "I have built this barn completely by myself. Remember I am a chef so I have no experience with building anything. I learned as I built. Nothing is true square, but mostly due to using locust poles as the poles for the main structure. We don’t have any locust that grows straight." He has a lot of info over at his blog. Stop by. How do you ‘do it yourself’ when it comes to hospitality? His Helpmeet of Old-Fashioned Living writes about it, "I may be given the opportunity soon to practice hospitality with someone I’d rather not invite to visit in my home, but for the sake of extended family and common courtesy – she may come anyway."Are you a God pleaser or a People Pleaser? Amy of Home Sweet Simple Home talks about
God pleaser vs. People Pleaser. "As Christians we are called to be God-pleasers and yet we do spend a lot of time trying to please people. I have a terrible habit of that. Remember this saying- You can please some of the people some of the time but you’ll never be able to please all the people all of the time. I have a horrible tendency to keep trying to please anyway." Kelcee over at Adventure of Faith expounds on the Evidence Bible questions. A really interesting post about "breaking down some of the witnessing questions ("evangelical survey" questions designed to begin a conversatioin about the Lord) that I posted a couple days ago and adding some Bible verses to support the topics."
Now, off to the home and A Tale of Two Wives. Carrie of How I Love Thee shares an intriguing story of SHIRLEY & JOHN and GLADYS & JAMES. Once you’re done reading it, which couple do you think most resembles you?
To the schoolroom…
Jasmine of Ponder the Path shares about "getting back to school and getting ready to start back to school full-time. We have been doing some schoolwork throughout the summer, and actually have done quite a bit of learning, so I guess what we are really getting back to is a more structured routine. I am finding that the older I get, and the older my children get, I am really starting to like having a routine."
Jessica of Tea Flower’s Corner and her mother have been putting together a magazine for quite some time. In her post, Our New Magazine, Jessica explains just what it will be featuring… "Around the Hearth is our whole grain cooking a baking section, there are going to columns for younger boys and girls, crafting and quilting, a homeschool column, and many more articles of encouragement for women."
In the last carnival, the musketman wrote about pennies and this week he’ll share about Collecting Silver Coins. This would be a fun activity for kids to do. Clean some coins, write down the years, and research ‘em. It could be a blast!
While we’re announcing things, I wanna to publicly congratulate two mommies who just had another little bundle! KayInPA of Urban Pioneer just had a sweet baby boy! Stop over there and say congrats for yourself!
Kim of Homestead Acres also had a baby… but It’s A Girl!! Children sure are a gift from the Lord.
In the barnyard…
Well, I finally got to post those hilarious goat videos you were all waiting for. If you need a good laugh, watch ‘em!
Jacque at Seeking Rest on the Homestead posts about chickens and the chicken coop they recently built. No one would be able to tell… she’s a first-timer at this.
And next week’s carnival will be held over at Ponder The Path… send your submissions in and please post about the carnival!
