I’m officially registered for my first craft show 🥳 Come out November 7th to shop my homegrown & homemade items!

✨ You can expect to find my all natural loofahs, slow infused body oils, salves, and whipped tallow lotion just to name a few things ✨

Thank you so much for everyone’s support through this homesteading journey so far and giving me the confidence to take this next step and offer my stuff to the public 🥰🤍

Hair therapy oil💆🏻‍♀️

Yesterday I cleared out my herb bed to get ready to plant my garlic. I didn't want these perfectly good herbs to go to waste so let's make a slow infused scalp / hair oil.
To my jar I added dried rosemary & dried thyme then covered with organic jojoba oil. I will put this jar somewhere dark and cool to infuse for a few weeks before it's ready.
This oil will help soothe a dry itchy scalp and promote hair growth ✨

My sweet tooth strikes again 😅

I made oatmeal cream pies for the first time and let me tell ya, I’ll certainly be making these again 🤪

Oatmeal Cream Pie Cookies
* 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
* 1 cup brown sugar
* ½ cup granulated sugar
* 2 large eggs
* 2 tsp vanilla extract
* 1½ cups all-purpose flour
* 1 tsp baking soda
* ½ tsp salt
* 1 tsp cinnamon
* 2½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats

Maple Vanilla Filling
* ½ cup butter, softened
* 1¾ cups powdered sugar
* 1 tosp maple syrup
* 1 tsp vanilla
* Pinch of salt
* 1-2 tsp milk or cream (as needed)

How they're made
1. Whisk melted butter with both sugars until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla.
2. Stir in flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until almost combined.
3. Mix in oats until dough comes together.
4. Let dough sit 10-15 minutes so the oats absorb moisture.
5. Scoop 1-tablespoon portions onto a lined baking sheet. Chill 15-20 minutes.
6. Bake at 350°F for 11-13 minutes until edges are set and centers are soft.
7. Cool completely before filling.

I’m sad that summer has come to an end but I’m getting into the fall spirit with some homemade decorations 🥰

I want to hang these marigold strands EVERYWHERE 😅

Probably one of my last big harvests of the season 🥕 🥔 🫛🍅
I still have my luffas to harvest and some bush beans I planted. Time to start prepping my beds to plant my 2027 garlic.
This is only my second year with a garden and I am more than pleased with everything I got & l already have bigger and better plans for next year

Cayenne infused olive oil 🌶️

I harvested these cayennes from my garden weeks ago and strung them up and dried them in my window. Now I'm taking these dry peppers and infusing these with olive oil. I'm going to store this in a dark place and after 4-6 weeks l'll use this to make a cayenne salve.

I need to clear out some space in my freezer so today I’m making some broth with my bone and vegetable scraps. Perfect to have on hand for all the soups I make throughout the fall and winter 🍲
Nothing goes to waste here! After this simmers for a few hours I’ll can it up and give the scraps to our chickens 🐓
