About book Made From Scratch: Discovering The Pleasures Of A Handmade Life (2008)

The author shares her journey of becoming self-sufficient in her rental apartment in Idaho. She discusses homemade bread, running a sled dog team, raising chickens, failing at beekeeping, putting her maimed rabbit down, using vintage appliances, and more. This was a quick read as the author is witty, humbly honest, and a great storyteller. Each chapter concludes with related instructions, tips, supply lists, and/or recipes. The back of the book includes great resources. My husband and I read this out loud together on a long road trip and we both found ourselves laughing and thoroughly enjoying the book (I cried during the rabbit chapter). This is a how to get started homesteading guide for dummies! Love the simple explanations that don't overwhelm you, but provide enough information to get you started. Especially loved her honest mistakes and romantic dreams of new projects. Covers many topics from gardening, bee keeping, raising chickens, working dogs, sewing, and music to name a few. Lots of resources listed in the back of the book!
