Homestead Blessings

I've been enjoying the Homestead Blessings DVDs of the West Ladies sharing their homemaking arts and crafts. I own most of them, but I've just checked out their "The Art of Crafting" DVD from the library. I also enjoyed learning from Lady Lydia at her blog (as always). It is so fun to learn how to make useful and beautiful things inexpensively. I appreciate other women sharing their know-how and their "process" of discovering how to craft something they may have never made before, such as Lady Lydia's homemade fancy picnic basket. She has such a gentle way of encouraging ladies in our homemaking careers when we were feeling down.
