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.

Nestor's Party- My Craft Room!

Well I wanted to get these up because Nestor is having a 10 minute to a beautiful room party . This has definitely taken more than 10 minutes. But in my brain it was only suppose to take a day! It's far from finished, but that's what a craft room is for. Right? Here's a couple of before pics during the Children's Christmas play. Basically every surface was covered and I had to move stuff just to work. Five of us craft, sew, scrapbook etc in this room. So space and good storage is an issue. The room is apx.10x11. I really want my daughter's to grow up being Keeper's of their Homes. Home Decorating and Crafting Frugally is a must! You can have a beautiful home on a very tight budget. I also want them to be creative and have a place to show and explore their abilities. ( alrighty let me jump down from my horse; ) Here's some after photos. The paint was from the $5 bin and too yellow. So I added alot of white that we had from another project! Th...

Zeee Transformation!

It's Frugal Friday again! I really enjoy everyone's offerings. Please share your comments and head over to Biblicalwomanhood.com for more great tips. I have it listed in Friends and Interest for your convienece. Have a great weekend and enjoy! I've been anxious to get these up here! This was one of Superman's and my summer projects. We finished just in time for our littlest chickadee's birthday and for use while I'm schooling the rest of the brood. Here's what I found at a local thrift store.... The stove had a sad laminate door on it that someone else had used to repair it. I sanded down both the fridge and stove. I also traced the stove top. Then Superman took over. He did more sanding, replaced the door with scrap wood and cut out a window. So that she can see what's baking. After that it was time to paint! I really wanted red because (for now) it's in my kitchen and it looks great with the other colors in there. Quite Spicy! And I found it in th...

Nitrate Free Pepperoni

I'm not sure if I should show you the picture or not. I tweaked a recipe from Tammy's Recipes and it is quite tasty. BUT (and it's kind of a big BUT) the color is just not right. So the pepperoni looks a little grey (gross) but again taste SUPER! So here goes nothing.... nitrate free pepperoni See how gray it looks? That's because I used Real Salt (sea salt) instead of curring salts which have all the nitrates and fake pink color (they do this so people won't mistake it for table salt). That pink dye also gives sausages of all types that nice color we are all so used too. All the flavor was still in there and I figured if I'm making this homemade I want it to be as healthy as possible for my family. So why would I add the nitrates? Because I didn't use the pink salt I can't just leave this out in my pantry like you could with some of the store bought stuff. If you do to try this recipe and decide to go "all natural" please make sure that you ...
