Eat Make Grow Blog Hop - Spring - March 2013


Welcome to March's Eat Make Grow Blog Hop where you share what you have been eating with your family, growing in your garden or making with all your creative impulses. Eat Make Grow is a collective link party that is shared across three blogs and runs every first Thursday and goes for 20 days. Whichever blog that you choose to link up your post, it will show up on all three sites! Eat Make Grow is a way to share with many people posts about your domestic doings, whether that’s gardening, crafting or trying out a new recipe. We want to learn about it! Every month, we will feature the most popular link, one chosen by the the host and a group favorite.



Your Hosts:
Miranda from Pocket Pause
Foy from Garden. Cook. Write. Repeat.
Marigold from Hideous! Dreadful! Stinky!

We’re not big fans of rules so there are just two of them:
1. Link up posts telling us how you cooked it, made it or grew it with your own hands. Eat Make Grow is about sharing our projects. Please no advertising, propaganda, corporate giveaways or information-only articles. We may remove links if they aren't on topic.
2. Please link your posts back to one of the hosting blogs.This is a common blog hop courtesy. This link helps build the Eat Make Grow community by sending your readers to all of the other participants' posts.We will feature three posts each month and we will only consider posts that have a link back. A text link is fine, or you can grab our button and put it anywhere on your blog:

The theme for March is SPRING! The robins are out which means it's time for planting asparagus, planning your spring wardrobe and sewing projects and cooking up fresh veggies again - or at least planning for them! It has really been feeling like spring the last few days at my homestead with balmy days and lighter misty rains. I've been out planting shrubs and am sketching up a storm getting ready to build some mobile tractors for my chickens and rabbits. I can't wait to see what you're up to in anticipation of spring! Link up with your favorite spring-themed posts, new or old and be sure to visit some of the other posts for inspiration. You can also visit our Pinterest boards to see past Featured Bloggers and Posts That Inspire to see our favorites. Just scroll down to the 'linky' tool at the bottom of this post and enter your info! 
Link up with YOUR spring projects - What have you been eating, making or growing in anticipation of spring?
I certainly enjoyed reading everyone's "No Buy February" posts last month. I for one was a spending fool with the new homestead and all, but it was great to see all the wonderful things you can make with 'stuff' you already have on hand.

 Last month's featured bloggers are:
Taco Seasoning by Brown Thumb Mama
Brown Thumb Mama with her "Five things you should be making (and not buying)" post was a hit with our readers! I love the looks of that taco seasoning mix.

It does NOT get cuter.
She may be a contributor here at Eat Make Grow, but i'm not biased! This project is absolutely the BEST re-use tutorial on the web. Here's to Marigold and her "Making a Boy's Tie from a Man's Tie" post and tutorial.


And finally our "group choice" post was Plain Jane's camping seats made from milk crates. I want to make some of these!
