Thank You

    Since today is Thanksgiving the holiday for acknowledging what we're thankful for, I knew I needed to make a post dedicated to all our supporters. So here it is a letter to each and everyone out there following us on this journey.

Dear Family, Friends, and Supporters of Every Type

     I'm writing this because I recently did a story on Instagram and I tried tagging all the people who have supported us and mean so much to us. But as soon as I added it I knew there were so many that I hadn't mentioned or wasn't able to tag.  There are some people who aren't on social media, I'm not sure what they do all day. How do they pass the minutes while taking in their morning coffee, who knows. Moving on, I now know how all those Oscar, Grammy and CMA winners must feel when they win and have to thank everyone in about 10 seconds. Anyhoo...

     Thank you to everyone who follows us on Instagram and Facebook. Thank you to all who have taken the time out of their day to like or comment on our posts. Thanks to each of you who have tagged us when displaying our pieces in your posts. Thanks to all of you who watch my stories and still come back to watch more even when I'm a bit awkward or ramble on about whatever is on my mind.  Gracias to those who have shared our page or posts and told others to come see what we're all about. Thank you to responding and interacting with my stories, it really does put a smile on my face every time.  Thanks to those who have spent their hard earned money on our metal pieces. Thank you to everyone who has ordered a custom sign from us and for those that have come back for another.  Thanks to all our etsy customers and for all the great reviews you have left us. 

     Thank you to all of you who have helped us set up for a show, watched the children for a show or who have attended a show just to say hi and show your support.  Thank you to those who have invited us to be a part of an event, it's such an honor.  Thanks to those who have recommended us to their friends or families for metal work.  Thank you to friends and family for endlessly watching the kids so we can follow our dream.  

     Before I end this letter though I want to show you what your encouragement and purchases are supporting.  We are a small family of four, who's homestead is 7 acres which includes 2 dogs, 2 cats and 6 chickens and I'm sure will expand with more animals (baby shop is closed).  We aren't ones that run out to buy everything new because of the size of our wallet but also because we enjoy repairing what's broken and also like building things with our hands. We have a passion for growing our own food and hope to expand that into raising our own meat.  Our dream is to not only run our metal business but also expand our homestead to provide for others in our community.  

     Our family loves going on adventures by means of our camper or just exploring the wonderful area we live in.  We love showing our kids the world when we're not on the homestead.  Plus I now have the privilege of staying home with our two kids which is the most amazing benefit of this job.  I'm able to snuggle them even if they don't want me to, take care of them when they're sick or take them for a treat when they've had a good school day.  Here's a few pictures of what you're supporting.

Some quality time crafting.

So thank you for supporting us so we can follow our dream and teach our children what hard work is and that anything is possible.  You ALL have made us so happy and grateful for all that we have.  We hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and if you're not in the U.S or don't celebrate have a fabulous Thursday. Until next time friends

THANK YOU!!!

The Tale of Two Goats

     Well we've had Lily and Belle for two weeks now and they are doing wonderful.  I had a bit of a scare when we picked them up from the eccentric goat breeding lady.  The lady picked up one goat and Casey picked up the other one and when he put them in the back of the car Belle let out this horrific scream, the goat not the lady.  Casey says I froze up and my eyes were all bugged out..I don't recall this but he is still getting a kick out of it.  I did stop for a second because I thought she was hurt.  She was just pissed we were taking her away from her family. The car ride home.            When we got them home and let them lose onto the back of our property they dashed for the fence and wanted nothing to do with us.  They relaxed more as the day went by and will come up to us and sniff us.  All the work we put into making them a comfy shelter/bed and they wouldn't sleep in it...they are usin...

Keeping Busy

We are getting so close to having the garden all done and planted.  I love gardening but I want to move on to other chores.  Hopefully just one more week of transplanting and the garden will be in.  The cantaloupe seeds I saved and planted have popped out of the ground. I wasn't sure about them but so far it's a success which makes me smile.  The cantaloupe sprouts saying hello. The peas are growing fast, so we put up some T-posts and fencing for a trellis for them to climb up.  The T-posts we already had and the fencing we acquired from family that didn't want it anymore.  I took video to show how we wrapped the fencing onto the posts and I'll be posting that on our you tube channel.  The drip system is all laid out and in place for the most part.  There was an unexpected chore that came up this week. The trellis for the peas.  I was minding my own business doing the dishes the other morning when I realized our water pressure had dwindled...

The Great Zucchini Flood of 2014

We've been enjoying our delicious rewards from our garden.  It's hard to explain the feeling you get when you feed your family food you've grown.  To know we started all of our plants from seed and have taken care of them and they've grown into these beautiful plants and are now providing us with food makes me a bit speechless.  It's pretty awesome to provide our lil farmer boy with food we've grown and he's having a blast helping us.  Going out every day to the garden and finding a new surprise, whether it's finding something new producing or just seeing lil man get so excited about it warms my heart so much. The other night I prepared dinner from a Rachael Ray recipe I've been using and adjusted it by adding more veggies.  Our broccoli was ready and used some our endless supply of zucchini, it was pretty delicious, the boys devoured it.  To use up more of the pile of zucchini we have I spent the day with my sis baking zucchini bread.  We needed s...
