REVIVING THE BLOG

May 13, 2013

Starting with a random post about everything.

Well, in the last couple years I've been a complete failure when it comes to this blog.  I delete, undelete, delete, undelete, promise to post more regularly and then don't, promise again and fail once more. So... Here I go again.
I've held back on making a lot of posts just because there has already been something similar on another blog or website somewhere but I'm no longer going to let that hold me back.  I was talking to someone recently about handmade laundry soap and she asked if I ever blogged about it and I said no because there are numerous blog posts about it already, lots of links to great laundry soap recipes on Pinterest also.  This individual tells me that she never goes on Pinterest and doesn't have time to follow a bunch of blogs but if I wrote something about it she'd check it out.  Hmmmm... I thought.  So maybe it doesn't hurt too much to blog about something that's already out in cyberspace??? With that in mind, I guess I'll just blog about whatever the heck I want and if no one reads it, oh well, someone may find it useful.

So... as for random whatever's that someone else has probably already blogged about here goes nothing:

Midwest Shepherd's Harvest Festival 2013

Sheep Shearing





 Yana Pretending to Spin


Spinning Demo

Lots of raw fiber


Creative Activities

I purchased a bunch of stuff too but I'll share that in a later post :D

I have to toot my own horn here.  I knitted a washcloth! Yes, yes, you can stop the applause.  The washcloth was easy but since I'm a wee bit "special" (ahem... perfectionist) it only took me a month to make just one O_O


Making candles! Lots and lots of candles!  I'm up to 20 so far.


New Addition to the Family

Last but should have been first, our beautiful little dog.  She came to live with us this winter and my husband is so in love with her.  She's not your typical American looking chihuahua, my husband says she's a Mexican version :-) I think she looks like a baby seal.  Here's Gypsy:


My next post will be a bit more coherent.

Yay, you're back! Your blog posts are interesting and unique because they are from your perspective and really there's never enough posts on laundry soap. I like to look at a bunch and compare them to each other.

The pictures are so cute! I'm glad you posted them here. Your daughters are so cute!

Wow, you have been busy haven't you? Are you selling the candles to raise money to save the wolves? I love your washcloth, it's beautiful! So your perfectionist tendencies has paid off.

Cute dog! What a sweetie. So glad you're back to blogging.

Good to have you back, M!!! Yeah, that person is right; there is nothing new under the sun, but not everyone has access to all that other stuff, and your point of view is just as valid as anyone else's, so write on! <3
