Anna Pearl's Homestead

As you may have noticed, we have been inactive on this blog for awhile.  While it has been a very successful endeavor for our family, we have decided that we need another forum to advance our little homestead forward.

We have decided to suspend this blog and ask our readers to follows us to our new blog:

Anna Pearl's Homestead

https://annapearlshomestead.wordpress.com/

Wordpress is going to give us better opportunities to give our readers more services and features.

We will come back periodically to check on this block and re-invite you to find us out in cyber land.

Thank you so much for continuing to follow Anna Pearl and her adventures in homesteading in Wyoming.  God Bless You!

Mindlessness and Menapause

Well, my friends....you may have noticed that I have been missing for quite a while.  To be frank, I have temporarily lost my mind due to symptoms of menopause.  I haven't been able to function as a human being for a few months now.  The mood swings, the lack of focus, and the hot flashes have been all I could handle.

As the symptoms seem to be subsiding, I am going to try to get back to my blogging.  I have really missed sharing my thoughts with all of you!

There will be some pretty cool changes coming to Anna Pearls Attic very soon.  I have joined an affiliate program.  They offer country lifestyle products for reasonable prices and I am excited to start that adventure.  Watch for the links to appear in the very near future. 

Another of my goals is to include more recipes and tutorials.  My mother was an amazing cook and she taught me all she knew.  Since we lost her four years ago, I would like to honor her by sharing some of that knowledge with you.

I am committed to the blogging process and promise to continue to "wow" you with my creative genius! "Not!"

Reflector Oven

Below is a photo of the Reflector oven that Hunky Hubbie made recently.  We tested it in the middle of winter and it cooked those cinnamon rolls nicely.  This design would work as a solar oven, as well.  We will test it later on when it gets warmer.

A Sewing We Must Go........

Last fall, my best friend and I embarked on a journey.  We decided to do a craft booth at our local Santa's Workshop.  This event is held in late November and is a craft/retail fair attended by approximately 5000 people. 

We started sewing in October, which is way too late to start sewing for a craft fair.  You should start in January!  Anyway, we made some oven door towels like the pictures below:

We sold them for $12.  I only sold two of them at the show.  However, I sold 20 of them to co-workers and friends.  I have also received additional orders for them after the show.  In fact, I just got an order to do one for every holiday of the year.

I am now frantic searching for towels that will work for other seasons.  Darn it, I have to shop online!  I am also have a grand time, shopping for fabrics, lace, and buttons.

The moral of the story is:

1.    Plan Ahead
2.    Plan for the Unexpected
3.    Always Plan!

My Heart Baby Quilt

 

My homemade heart went to my dear little neice, Cadence.  It makes my heart sing to think of it wrapped around this little sweetheart.
