Just another day.

Well today has been an interesting day. All the chicks are starting to let their creative juices flow!
The oldest chickadee "needed" to make brownies. I suggested that she make them using muffin cups. Reason #1- Less mess to clean up. Reason#2 - MOTHER HEN WOULDN'T BE AS TEMPTED TO OVER INDULGE IN THE DELECTABLE LITTLE TREATS! Everyone would know if I sneak some and I'm trying to be honest and good. Boy, do they smell good! I think they are calling me? NO, no ,no I shall not succumb to their chocolaty goodness.



I wish I had thought of it sooner... The sewing room was all a buzz with creativity this morning. 3 chicks sewing away at once! But here's a pic of chick #3 ( I wish I had one when it looked like I was running a mini sweat shop!). Chick #2 made a pattern and the other chick followed it. Now I'm starting to hear that they "need" better machines like the oldest chickadee. Hmmmmmmmmm.By the way, we found bags of scrap fabric at the thrift stores for 50 cents to a dollar. Perfect for these projects.

Doesn't the horse and owner look well pleased? I'm a happy mother hen and Superman thought it was wonderful!

Well, I'm off to finish up the laundry. I hope to post my simple laundry savings later this week.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path. Amen. I've had these words going through my head most of the afternoon.....

I read in a Paula Deen cookbook to pour brownie batter (use the cake like recipe) in the muffin cup and stick a mini Peanut Butter cup in the center of the batter. Bake for 20 min. It is soooo good. Love your site! Love the Frumpy Prom. Hilarious.

P.O.O.P.I.E

People Opposing Objectionable Pretend plants in the Environment ! Okay folks it's been a week....which is way too long. Schooling 3 1/2 is a bit daunting at times. My other excuse.....I've been freaking out about lice for over a week. No, I didn't have it (this time around), but I've scratched myself raw over it! On to P.O.O.P.I.E.! Over at Nestor's she's done a short series on what's a good fake and what's not ( errr flowers that is). So after you take a peak at mine head over there and read hers and everyone else' poop (can I say that?), I mean blogs! Nesting Place is in my side bar if you need directions ( I wanted to put the button up, but have no clue). These are my year round fakies .... Superman gave me the floral arrangement about 12 years ago when we couldn't afford flowers, who am I kidding....we still can't! I did change out the pedestal urn they came in. My wonderful ivy on top of the cabinets. My chicks have always ha...

Facial Cleanser

We've been using a surprisingly wonderful face wash for about 6 months. Guess What it is? Olive & Castor Oil! I was really surprised at how well it works and you can customize the formula to you own needs. For people with T-zone, dry or oily conditions. At www.theoilcleansingmethod.com/ they give all the details. I used an old facial cleanser bottle and tweaked the instructions to fit our needs. -15% Castor oil -85% olive oil -Shake and place in shower with wash cloth. - Gently rub 1 to 2 pumpfuls into face, neck, ears etc. (before you get in) -Use the warmth of shower to open pores. -Heat wash cloth with water, place on face for a minute or so. Then gently rub off excess oil, make up and dirt. Like I said, we've been using this for 6 months or so. In that time I've had only 1 blemish ( I'm a t-zone). My face is so much smoother and softer and this is all I do. No more 3 parts, no extra lotions! The above recipe has worked well for dry and t-zone. So we only h...

Frugal Friday

Time again to remember creativity and frugality! I really enjoy www.biblicalwomanhood.com where today it is Frugal Friday. Two needs we had were new nighties and bicycle baskets. We've been riding like crazy and I was tired of old t-shirts for jammies. It's hard and expensive to find nice, cute nighties for 5 different age groups! So we headed to a local thrift shop and bought sheets. Now if this thought grosses you out, just think "Vintage"! Everything was washed and dried in the dryer. Each sheet cost about $3.00. I was able to get 3 nighties in children sizes out of one and 2 in adult sizes out of another. I wish I could show more pics, but thought it was best not to of my older chicks. Needles to say they have become every one's favorites and today I need to make more! The cost of each nightie was about $1.50! I figured in my pattern and lace I also found. Isn't she a cutie! I'm not sure how to turn this but I also made house coats for each girl. This ...
