Hiatus

Frankly, I'm still a bit out of ideas for the blog. I have all kinds of ideas for knitting projects though, so I'm going to focus on that for the rest of the week.  I really need to make a little extra cash. I'm tired of living paycheck to paycheck. And I have to pay the contractor for the siding and the gutters.  They seem to have done a really good job and everyone was really nice.  However, we still had customer service issues, so I'm not sure I recommend the company. Anyway, I need to get some stuff on etsy that people actually want to buy, I guess.  ;0)  And I also I have a couple baby gifts to make. I have one pregnant cousin (that I know of) and two old friends that are pregnant. Lots of stuff to work on.  Tallyhoe!  Be back on Monday hopefully.  Out.

Baby Hats

If you like to knit and/or crochet, you can help a small baby out there somewhere by making it a hat. Just go to this link and see what to do. I sent two off today!  After you have sent one, tell a friend.

Corn Sugar

I recently mentioned in a previous post that the makers of high fructose corn syrup want to change the name of their product, high fructose corn syrup, to corn sugar in a disgusting effort to make the unsuspecting public think their product is safe.  I follow a blog called The Ban of High Fructose Corn Syrup and they have put up a post over there with a link to a petition.  They describe their petition as "The First Global Campaign Against the Relabeling of HFCS to Corn Sugar".

Please sign the petition and do everything you can to remove high fructose corn syrup from your diet.  It's for the kids.  :0) 

Molly's First Program

It is allergy season.  My posting will probably be more sporadic because of it, and because I've been watching The X-Files  all the way through on the Netflix via the Wii. (I never realized how many episodes there are.)  

Molly had her first program.  They just stood on the steps at the church and sang a few songs.  The little girl a couple people down from Molly kept at least one balled fist in her mouth through the entire thing.  I cropped her out of the picture just in case and since I don't know her. You'll have to trust me that she was cute.  Molly did very well though.  I was very proud.  

They also had a little art show before the program. Molly drew a picture of Ponyo for the occasion.

Good Morning All!

And so we begin another week.  Molly's very first program is today! I'll take pictures! 

Here is my latest creation. Check it out on etsy.

Soap

Mike made his first batch of soap.  It's still drying, but I can't wait to try it.  We ended up with 42 bars.  It's not hard to do, but a bit complicated. If you'd like to try it yourself just Google "cold press soap recipes" and I'm sure you'll find some recipes.  If you'd like to buy some from a more experienced maker, I like www.CircleANaturals.etsy.com.  She makes very lovely soap.
