Spring Is Here!

Well It's been quite awhile. I hate how I plan to do 2 to 3 blogs and then life happens.
These past couple of weeks have been filled with illness, funerals, weddings, end of the year testing and pulled muscles! But today life feels a bit more "normal". I did some baking, creating, and of course school! Here's my "creative endeavor for this week. we needed a little Spring in the house.

Blown out eggs from our chickens. It was pretty gross! I haven't done this since I was a kid.

2 bird cages. They were both white and painted with I don't know what!

Here's the small cage finished in a spring green with antique gold. The chicken has been around for a long while. The eggs are fresh blown.


And here's the one for our coffee table. It turned out a bit brighter than I wanted. I roughed it up a bit, but from the picture it could use a bit more.(Maybe next year)


I had these plus 3 loaves of bread going in the oven while I worked on finishing the above projects.

The smelled terrific!


What else could they need but frosting. These aren't your store bought rolls!

Organic doesn't have to be gross or unappetizing.

So I really feel like I need a nap. My bathroom is horrible, and I don't want to even think about the decluttering I started in my bedroom and haven't gotten back to! But I have a chickadee who wants to start making quilts and some Bible to catch up on.
What's been on your plate these past few days?

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 ...
