Hi Everyone!  Welcome to my new Website and Blog!

I’m excited to bring together my blog – which was in the past called Rach-ology – with my Handmade U website.  Now you will find all the details on our upcoming Handmade U semesters along with all the happenings out at the McGough Homestead.

You’ll also be able to keep up with my Instagram @rjmcgough, Youtube – Handmade U , and my soon to open Etsy – ShopHandmadeU

Please be sure to subscribe, follow, and like ALL OF IT! 🙂

We are in the midst of the cold, snowy winter here in Nebraska.  I’m looking forward to the Spring for so many reasons.

Here are a few peeks around the Homestead:

The McGough Hens have finally gotten into the groove of laying eggs!  Yay!  I’m in search of some fun egg dishes, if you have ideas please let me know!!

Did I say I am missing the sun!?  Please come back and stay awhile!

Last weekend I drove out to Cedar Rapids, Iowa for a Midwest Planner Girl meet-up.  Two of my Nebraska Planner Gals came along for the ride which was appreciated on the 4.5hr drive (each way). We had a great road-trip with a stop at Sonic of course.  I will give you more details shortly.  

One of the things I brought along was a couple pieces of my newest obsession – Fabric Washi Tape for each of the 125 attendees!  I love it, I hope they did too.  I was glad to have a chance to visit with some of the gals when I ran around and handed it out.  

The pack of Washi below, I made for a prize for my Quiltdori Adopters Facebook page participants!  Fabric Washi will be available at the Handmade U Shop soon!  Congrats to Nicole for winning this pack!
