Welcome readers!

As an author, I love sharing ideas with my readers. As a reader and a maker and an experimenter? I simply love to be inspired by the projects created by others. The following resources will broaden your knowledge as you delve even further into crafting your homespun DIY lifestyle. From home cooking to herbs, from gardening to animal husbandry, the books and resources below will bolster your familiarity with topics that intrigue you — and maintain your to be read pile at a sufficient level.

Many of the resources included below are listed at the back of my book, but I’ve expanded on the list here, as there are fewer space limitations on the web. The books and websites you see here are live links that will take you directly to more information and in some cases an opportunity to purchase via my affiliate link with Bookshop.
