Made From Scratch

Just finished reading this book and I highly recommend it. Jenna Woginrich does a great job of simplifying how to start your own homestead no matter where you live. She is funny throughout the whole book and keeps you interested. If you want to know more about raising your own chickens, sled dogs, sewing (of course we are), cooking or just interested in a simpler life. READ THIS BOOK! She also has a blog at Cold Antler Farm.

J'Adore Sewing Books

Right now I am in the process of trying to get a sewing book collection together. I see the holidays/birthday is coming up so maybe I'll drop the hint off to the hubby :) Here's just a few that I would like to have. Let me know what you think of them. Would love to get reviews, if you have read any of them or if you have suggestions of other books you like.
