More lovely mushrooms! I couldn’t resist and bought myself a Back to the Roots Mushroom Grow Kit 💕🍄💕 I now have to restrain myself from buying all the different varieties of mushroom kits 😭😬 — #backtotheroots #mushroomgrowkit #oystermushrooms #growwhatyoueat #citylife #apartmentgardening #mushrooms #growshrooms https://www.instagram.com/p/CpTgk2jO_l4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Check it out! I graduated from growing mushrooms in kits to growing them in entire totes! These are blue oyster mushrooms growing in a wood chip substrate. Can you believe it?! You can grow your own edible mushrooms at home! Many thanks to @centraltexasmycology for providing the resources to Central Texans to make this possible! 💕🍄💕 — #blueoystermushrooms #centraltexasmycology #growyourownfood #growwhatyoueat #growwhatyoulove #urbangarden #fungi #oystermushrooms #mushrooms https://www.instagram.com/p/Coffb88ORvR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Oh my goodness! I am in love with my button making machine! These #ShiningFates Pokemon buttons are so ridiculously cute 💕😭💕 #buttonmaker #pokemonbuttons #diy #lovely #obsessed #pokemon #wintercrafts https://www.instagram.com/p/Clmcr18uCwo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

SWIPE FOR MORE: I used a silicone mold to cast this square concrete planter. After drying and curing, I decided to paint each side with the original starter Pokemon Charmander, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Pikachu 🥰 It’ll be a fun design to enjoy when I rotate plants in it. I’ll be working on other concrete planter but with a more floral design. That Squirtle is funky 😗 — #concreteplanter #diyplanter #paintingplanters #acrylicpainting #winterprojects #dreamingofspring #diy #pokemon #geekydiy https://www.instagram.com/p/CZmQgS4OhlW/?utm_medium=tumblr

Our first burn test for our Valentine’s Day candle. It’s scented with pomegranate citrus and made from a blend of soy and beeswax. I used our bright pink Valentine’s melts for color and added scent. This initial burn test is to ensure the candle is safe to burn, check to see if I selected the right quality and size of wick, and see if my design needs some tweaking to avoid spills and ensure all the wax melts properly. I can already tell that any melts located at the edge of the glass rim might cause a spill 😓 And I overfilled it... 😰 But that’s why these tests are important! Especially if I want to sell these candles in the future. — #valentinesdaycandles #scentedcandles #waxmelts #burntest #candleburntest #producttesting #winterprojects https://www.instagram.com/p/CZVxbBWOnhA/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’ve been making more wax melts while I wait for my packaging order to come in. These cuties will be for our Valentine’s Day scent, sweet and refreshing pomegranate citrus. The bunnies have eyes 👀! #waxtarts #waxmelts #valentinesdaymelts https://www.instagram.com/toastyrabbits/p/CZJ_4nRLSm8/?utm_medium=tumblr

Our silkie flock got to spend some time outside munching on grass while I refreshed the cardboard covering the garden. I hope to get this aerial predator problem figured out so the flock can free range a bit more in Spring. #silkiechickens #silkieflock #silkiesofinstagram #raiseyourown https://www.instagram.com/p/CZCa1Ytr-yN/?utm_medium=tumblr

Mama doe and her single winter kit are doing well. Floppy has been a fantastic mother cleaning and doting on her little one. And it’s been easier to socialize the kit as it has learned getting pet isn’t super scary when Mama is at your side. I am very grateful that have such fantastic Mamas these past years. — #minirexkit #minirex #minirexrabbits #minirexdoe #minirexkit #rabbitkita #kits #winterkits #urbanhonestead #raiseyourown #rabbitsofinstagram #babybunnies #babyrabbits #cute #aw #babyanimals https://www.instagram.com/p/CZBE2RKt8es/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’m doing so many different projects this winter 😖😅 This week I tried my hand at making wax tarts. This cute little pair of cacti are made out of soy/bees wax and fragrance oil for an “alpine# scent. I’m still learning how to color the wax but had a lot of fun popping the wax tarts out of my silicone molds. #waxmelts #waxtarts #diywaxmelts #cute #aw #diy #lovely #winterprojects https://www.instagram.com/p/CY5QMGltE1a/?utm_medium=tumblr

Our first true frost of the season, though rather late, has finally come. The garden has been put to bed, save for a few hardy brassicas built to withstand our mild winters. With little to tend to outdoors, I’ve picked up painting again to keep myself distracted and dreaming of Spring. #acrylicpainting #minicanvas #seasonalblues https://www.instagram.com/p/CXcwa8dAgHm/?utm_medium=tumblr

Practicing with my new watercolors today. Christmas theme seems appropriate. #merrychristmas #happyholidays #watercolor #watercolorpractice https://www.instagram.com/p/CXRfnIjPBoI/?utm_medium=tumblr

Pardon the mess! We adults had a blast building this Oreo gingerbread cookie kit from #HEB. We even have little candy planters in the front! 😆😖 #gingerbreadhouse #cute #aw #adulting #happyholidays #merrychristmas #veryseriousbusiness https://www.instagram.com/toastyrabbits/p/CXIEaPRtNCQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

A little messy but we have breakfast! Today we have hardboiled silkies eggs sprinkled with #everythingbutthebagel seasoning, oatmeal bread toast, and strawberry chia yogurt parfaits. Gotta have that salsa on the side to go with the eggs! 😋 #goodmorning #breakfast https://www.instagram.com/p/CV8P0kcLnUK/?utm_medium=tumblr

A little bit of evening weeding while waiting for the silkies to get settled in for the night. Thankfully the majority of the weeds are being held back by a thick layer of cardboard. Those weeds are very resilient though! Look at those little punks peeking above the cracks! 😫😑 https://www.instagram.com/p/CV35DhvLKcW/?utm_medium=tumblr

Have a great night, everyone! #happyhalloween #pumpkincarving #jackolantern https://www.instagram.com/p/CVtrop-tmgg/?utm_medium=tumblr

Can you believe these eggs came from our silkie flock? #BelieveIt! Our little flock is laying about 2-3 eggs every other day. They’re so tiny! And the yolks are the brightest, richest yellow I’ve ever seen! It’s so crazy that I am eating eggs laid right here on the urban homestead ☺️ #silkieeggs #backyardeggs #backyardchickens #raiseyourownfood https://www.instagram.com/p/CVIl4zTAZeb/?utm_medium=tumblr
