    How to Grow Chicken Grass Window Boxes: My chickens favorite treat!

    June 29, 2022 / No Comments

    Growing chicken grass in window boxes for your chickens is super easy and a very healthy treat for them. See below for step by step instructions on how to grow chicken grass for your flock. If you love my chicken coop be sure to check out my article on Chicken Coop Construction: How to Build a Predator Proof Chicken Coop Step 1: Build a shelf for your chicken grass window boxes Many animals around your coop will be attracted to the seeds and will dig in the window boxes. Including your chickens if they free range. Keeping them on the ground will not work! I have had much better luck…

    Black Staircase Railing, DIY

    April 13, 2015 / 1 Comment

    It was love at first sight.  At first glance our foyer was open, airy, and had a gorgeous curved staircase.  (It also was disgustingly dirty and had about 10 yrs of soot caked on it — but that’s a story for another day!)  The staircase is one of my favorite things about our house.  The only problem is our house was built in ’86 and the wood railing was looking quite tired and outdated.  On Houzz I had seen several black railings that I thought looked very sharp.  Since we have a lot of black accents on our house I decided to do it. See below for instructions on how…

    Yellow Front Door

    February 1, 2015 / 2 Comments

    One day I was bored and home with a sick child so I decided to paint the exterior doors the same color as the chicken coop — Egg Yolk yellow!  I started on the back door in case it went terribly wrong.  A yellow front door and side door would follow.  The doors were a brick red and I knew it would take several coats to cover it up.  Frist step is taping.  I didn’t take the hardware off but I wish I had.  I think it would have come out better but taping is okay. Next step is primer.  I like Stix primer from for cabinets, doors and furniture. …

    Big Ruler Height Chart

    February 1, 2015 / 1 Comment

    Like most moms, I feel like my kids are growing up too fast.  The days are long but the years are short.  I wanted a keepsake that would show their growth.  I pictured them showing it to their kids when they visit Grammy & Grandpa’s house someday.  This Big Ruler Height chart came out so good and was super easy!  It also requires very few supplies: 1x6x8 piece of hardwood (I used poplar) small can of stain and cheap paintbrush Sharpie number stencils First step in making the Big Ruler Height Chart: I lightly sanded the wood and stained it.  I drew the measurements on with pencil and traced the numbers…

    Rosemary & Mint Soy Candle

    February 1, 2015 / 1 Comment

    Summer was over and the fall air set in.  I decided it was time to harvest the leftover herbs for winter meals and projects.  I had a lot more Rosemary and Mint than I would ever use in cooking so I decided to make Rosemary & Mint Soy candle for Christmas presents.  These would make a great housewarming or hostess gift too! VERY easy project!  For one Rosemary & Mint Soy candle you will need: 1 lb Soy wax flakes (if you want a 1 qt candle) mason jar or other glass container (I used a 1 qt green glass mason jar) wick with metal tab (needs to be 1…
