Barn Hop 82


Welcome to the Monday Homestead Barn Hop where youre invited to link up your blog with your very best post of the week; something happening at your homestead or something of interest that will help benefit fellow homesteaders. Plus, each of the 3 Homestead Barn Hop hostess selects her favorite post of the week to highlight the following week. So be sure to visit all three blogs because the "Featured Homestead" could be YOURS!

Thank you to everyone who has been linking back to Homestead Revival, The Prairie Homestead, or New Life on a Homestead. Its like flying the colors of the homestead community and showing others the way to a great life living closer to the land! 

Some weeks its just too hard to pick ONE featured homestead! week, Im bending the rules just a bit... one featured homesteader contributed something of beauty, the other something needful. Isnt it wonderful that God created us with the need for both?! Marlo of Repurpose My Life shared her clever idea of painted canning jars to bring out the best in them... I love how the embossed writing on each jar really pops, as does the color! It certainly sets off those fall flowers, doesnt it?



 "I decided to paint some mason jars. I just wanted to put something on my kitchen table that felt like fall. So I picked up a can of spray paint at the hardware store for $3.50, the total cost of this weeks project."

The second featured homesteaders, The Owen Family of Far Better Farmstead, came up with an excellent solution for keeping hay dry without a barn during the cold wet months of winter. Just add a tarp and youll be set! (I really need this! Thank you, Owen Family!)
"We dont have a big barn to store hay in and we want to make better use of the small shed that we do have... heres how to make my version of Botan Andersons hay rack."
If youve been featured in the past...

If youve been a featured blogger on the Barn Hop, either today or in the past, we now have a special button for you should you wish to add it to your sidebar stating that youve been a featured blogger! You can find it on my button page by clicking the hen with the blue barn on my sidebar that says "HR Buttons". Its a good idea to link it back to the page where you were featured so your readers can see where youre actually mentioned. (These buttons do not have a code since it needs to be linked to the page youre featured in and it will change from week to week. Just copy the button or drag it to your desktop).

Did you share any cool new homesteading tips on your blog this week? If so, we’d love to have you link up below! Even if you don’t have a blog, we always welcome your comments!

Please remember that the Homestead Barn Hop is meant to be a place to share homesteading related encouragement and inspiring ideas specfically related to homesteading. In an effort to keep our weekly round-up clutter free, links which are not specifically homestead related, and any promotions such as giveaways, contests, carnivals, etc, will be deleted in order to maintain the integrity of the Barn Hop. Please remember this is a family friendly link up. Any pictures or posts linked to the hop which aren’t appropriate for our children to view or read will also be deleted immediately. We’re pretty conservative, so we ask that you use good judgment and err on the side of caution. 

Make sure that you link to your Barn Hop post, not your blog’s main page, so your guests won’t have any trouble finding your great tips!

We would also appreciate it if you would link back to the Homestead Barn Hop in the post that you share! Feel free to grab the banner at the top of this post to link back to us with.

Occasionally there is a problem posting due to glitches in the internet or the Linky Tools. If you have difficulties posting and it does not show up immediately, please wait a little while and try re-posting (this helps avoid double posting). Were sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, be we do not have absolute control over the internet. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
