welcome, dear one
Hello! I'm so glad you're here.
This place has been growing slowly, thoughtfully and with so much intention. I am creating recipes, tutorials and pieces of a life lived more simply and full of good food, meaningful moments and things made by hand.
Recipes
From-scratch suppers, sourdough mornings, and pies cooled on the windowsill. Recipes written the way your grandma wrote them, by hand, by feel, and always with butter.

Sewing
Aprons, quilts, mended seams and slow stitches. A little corner of the house piled with floral scraps and bobbins where useful things are made by hand.
Latest sewing projects →
Gardening
Raised beds, tomato cages, dirt under fingernails. Notes from a backyard garden grown the patient way, one season, one seed packet at a time.

Current Series
Granny's Recipe Box
A brand new series where I cook from recipes that are old and faded, passed down from other people's grandmothers, or that won first place at the county fair.
A little about me
I believe in slow mornings, handwritten recipes, and the kind of stitches that hold more than fabric together. Black Sheep Homesteading is where I share the things I make, grow, and cook... little artifacts of a life lived with both hands.
When I'm not in the garden or at the sewing machine, you'll find me flipping through old cookbooks or planning the next project. I'm so glad our paths crossed.
