The Chicken Mobile!

August 26, 2022 by OurWrensNest Leave a Comment

The adventure of turning an old golf cart into a useful farm tool! Bringing tools back to life is something we love to do on the farm. Many older tools are much better than what you can get in the store today! We are always on the look out for tools to rebuild to make things easier on the farm! Early last year we were offered a golf cart to rebuild. We were super excited about this project, but this golf cart needed some serious love. Unfortunately, the Northeast Ohio winter got the best of the golf cart, and there was a leak in on the golf cart batteries. It goes without saying, we had our work cut out for us! The Clean Up Our first step before we could do anything with the ...

Chicken Cell Phone Holder!

July 23, 2022 by OurWrensNest Leave a Comment

Display your phone in style with this fun chicken-inspired cell phone holder! I love having a super organized desk, everything has its own special place. One problem I've had recently though is a place to set my phone. I do a lot of filming with my phone, so I need it handy quite often. I went on a search for a good cell phone holder, and I couldn't find anything I liked. Either the price was way too expensive, or the stand was just too complicated. I wanted something fun! After looking around some DIY websites, I came across how to sew your own cell phone holder, but I had to chicken-fy it! Let's look at how to make a fun chicken cell phone holder! Gather Your Eggs - Supplies! One ...

Concrete Hand Succulent Planter

May 22, 2022 by OurWrensNest Leave a Comment

Display your favorite succulent in a planter that is easily "handmade" ! If you are anything like me, you have a serious plant addiction and you need a unique planter to go with all those plants! I’ve been known to adopt one too many plants from local nurseries! From kitchen plants to tropical plants (yes in Ohio) I have quite the collection. I’m always looking for fun and interesting ways to display my plants. Homemade and recycled planters are the best! The more unusual the better! A simple but very unique planter to make is a concrete hand planter. This planter is good for plants like air plants, and also succulents. I like to use a combination of succulents and moss with this ...

Our Little Cabin

January 14, 2022 by OurWrensNest 2 Comments

With lots of hard work, and determination, we created the perfect little cabin! We have been blessed with such a great opportunity to give homesteading a try. Granted we are not full-time homesteaders, we are learning and trying so many different ways to be self-sufficient. From learning which types of poultry we enjoy to what grows best in the garden, every step is truly an adventure. It had been a goal of ours for 3 plus years to build a small cabin in the back of the property for a place to getaway. At the beginning of 2021, we decided this is our year, we are building the cabin or it will never get done. Our first step was to figure out how to get started. We read so many books ...

DIY Photography Backdrops

July 25, 2021 by OurWrensNest Leave a Comment

Propel your picture taking ability to the next level with some simple to make photography backdrops! It’s no secret I love photography! Everyone who takes pictures whether you do it for fun or for profit has their favorite subjects. Personally, I have a few different “niches” I really enjoy, but one favorite is food photography. I found quickly that with food photography you need a great backdrop to really make your photos special. There are many different types of tabletop “backdrops” you can purchase out there but they can be a bit pricey. If you are like me though you want some different options for your photography without spending a ton of money. As the daughter of a floor ...
