The Homesteading Carnival #124 – December 14, 2009

Brrr, it’s beginning to feel a lot like….Christmas?  Well, it depends where you live – it’s certainly getting cold up here in rural Alberta, the windchill tonight is dipping down to -58 below zero Celcius.

Thanks for joining us for this week’s edition of The Homesteading Carnival!  I just opened the draft of our huge, black cookstove to get some more heat out of her, and away we go!  Curl up in a comforter, grab a up of cocoa and settle in for some reading.

Many hobbies require a large work space as well as a storage solution for all the hobby materials. A good solution to each problem? An armoire can help any hobby enthusiast stay organized.”
