Tuesday Recipe: Homemade Bird Food
Tuesday, February 25th, 2014February is National Bird-Feeding Month. We post recipes throughout the year on our blog and decided that this month we would pay special attention to our favorite creatures to watch outside this time of year: birds! Each of these recipes can easily be prepared at home, saving you the cost of having to purchase suet or birdseed mixes at the store every time you run out. Take some time on a cloudy day to prepare these mixes and attract local birds to your yard naturally. We also have many bird feeder options available on our website for those looking to add a decorative and functional piece to their yards. | |

Basic Suet Cake from the Farmer’s Almanac Archives Adjust the ingredient amounts to suit your needs.
Mix all ingredients together and cook for a few minutes. Pour into small containers (tuna fish cans are good), and refrigerate or freeze until needed. Mixture can also be stuffed into 1-inch holes drilled in small logs to hang from trees. The recipe can be made all year long as long as you accumulate fat. Fasten containers securely to trees or feeders. |

Decorating with Roosters
Wednesday, January 29th, 2014Cocka-doodle-doo! We all know the familiar sound that a rooster makes, especially at the most inconvenient times in the morning. Here at Sturbridge Yankee Workshop we adore farmhouse friends, especially the rooster, an enjoy the country feel that rooster themed decor can bring into a home. Whether you live in a rustic, primitive farmhouse or enjoy the high ceilings and tall windows of a big city flat, roosters are a versatile style that will work well with any decor. | |

Instantly increase the country decor theme in any room with a coordinating set of chair pads and a matching rug. Use these pieces in your dining room or kitchen for an instant enhancement!

Colorful Roosters
Roosters are known for their bright plumage, especially when they are strutting their stuff around the farm yard. On Rooster Mug, a vividly colored rooster decorates the side of a rather large 14 ounce mug just right for sipping your favorite beverage in the morning, or for warming up with a spot of tea in the afternoon. Paired with a French country inspired rug like Scalloped Rooster Hooked Rug, or the vintage appeal of Farmhouse Storage Tins, your home will be full of rooster fun in no time! |
