Flowers take me home to my family’s Bloom farm to my grandma’s impatiens and my mom’s peonies.
Homegrown food provides the best ingredients from the garden, wild life, and homesteading.
Making handmade projects is a way to relax and refresh, while creating something beautiful.
Books have built my farmette from classic literature to the DIY skills.
Flower Garden
I grew up as a Bloom with blooms at my grandma’s and my mom’s gardens. At my own country home, I plant flowers in beds, containers, and the vegetable garden, starting from seeds or transplants.
My love for flowers has grown from reserving flowers to bloom outdoors to cutting stems for arrangements to beautify the inside of my home.
Homegrown Food
I use ingredients from the garden, hunted wild game, and local or homegrown meats for an assortment of meals and recipes.
Eating homemade and homegrown food takes it to the next level of a nourishing plate.
Homemaking Arts
When I’m not outside in the garden, I’m enjoying beauty in my home. From sewing and cross-stitching to building projects with my husband, I love it all.
Making handmade projects is a way to relax and refresh, while creating something beautiful.
Farmhouse Bookshelf
Books build my farmette from the classics to the how-tos for sewing and gardening. I wouldn’t have learned new things without their inspiration and directions to build my own skill sets.
I love creating my own writing pieces including reflections on farm life and small creative works.
