Why Make It When You Can Buy It?Good question, why should you make it when you can buy it? It's so much easier to run out and buy plant fertilizer, than make it. Easier to flag down the ice cream truck than to make your own treats. More convenient to go buy that KFC meal deal with the fried chicken, mashed potatoes and coleslaw. Why should you take the time for homemade cooking? Why should you make anything yourself, if you can buy it?
I can think of a few great reasons:
I think there is a lot to be said for homemade living, it is a skill that many people have lost in the "instant gratification" world that we live in. This website and blog is a record of my journey to learn to be more self sufficient and stop relying on others for everything in my life. If you are interested in learning too....follow me!

What do I write about in the Homemade by Jade Blog?
I write about different things in my blog, but mostly you will find posts on learning how to make things yourself. Homemade cooking, homemade clothing, homemade crafts and home grown food. It is surprising how little actually needs to be purchased ready made. You can make just about anything yourself, because before there were stores, that's how folks got things......they made them themselves! You don't have to live on acreage or even own a house to become more self sufficient. Even apartment or condo dwellers can "homestead." When I started this journey, I was living in a subdivision! I wanted to learn to be more self reliant and to live more simply and reduce stress, so I started this blog. In it you will find many homemade recipes, tips on growing your own food, fun craft projects and household tips.

Do You Like to Make Plastic Canvas Projects?

If you love plastic canvas like I do, make sure you check out my new section, on this website, that has all my originally designed plastic canvas patterns. I made all these patterns myself, they are completely original, and the best part is, most are only $3.00!
