Such FUN!

I've been on kind of a "making everything homemade"

kick lately and today will be no different.

Over the past week,

I've made lots of fun new things!

Let's see....

Three batches of homemade soap

(which are now curing for the next 4 weeks -

I hate waiting so long before being able to use it!

I'm tempted to try making hot-process soap

one of these times!),

Lainie's dishwasher detergent,

Herbal organic shampoo

(which I adore!

It does double-duty as a body wash, too!),

all-natural toothpaste

(again, delightful!),

a fabulous Banana Facial Mask

(wow!),

Note: Youtube has tons, I mean TONS of great

make-it-yourself recipes!!

have almost finished a scarf for a friend,

and have made several knitted dish rags.

Oh my!!!!

I've had SOOOO much fun creating useful things!

How I enjoy the creative endeavors God gives us to enjoy!

He is so good, is He not?!

*smile*

Oh, and today I'm making a double batch of

Mama Hollioni's Amish White Bread

for my family.

Now, if I can just keep MY hands off it

and not eat any - well, it will be a miracle!

Yep. I've been trying to cut out

bread, sugar and cut back on salt in an

effort to lose a few pounds.

But with fresh bread in the house,

I can make no promises!

Ha ha!

But I digress...

Ok, off I go to start the bread!

Have a blessed day!
