Upcoming Projects

* Amelia's Quilt (Get Off My Back ;))

* Soap, I plan on making a BIG batch of soap, so if anyone else wants to come and bring their scale and figure my math, I will supply the lye!! Peppermint smells so yummy around the holidays and it tingles when you use it!!

* I really want a fall or halloween quilt for ME! I don't want to give it away. I want to curl up on the couch with it and sit in front of the fire... If it ever got cold enough at Halloween or Thanksgiving for a fire...

* This weekend I am starting all my seeds for my square foot garden, No hoeing for me!

* This weekend Mike is building me 8 4x6 raised beds, Lucky him!

* Liv is very interested in bees at the moment, and the best field trip around is to swing by Lowe's garden center in the morning. There were tons of bees and you could sit and watch them do their bee "thing". So one of our raised boxes will be devoted to bee and butterfly attractant plants. Is attractant a word?? i am so toying with the idea of a backyard hive... Just a little chicken that I may push my neighbors over the edge..

* The laundry line is back in use, my power bill is still outrageous, so I am back to hanging out my undies...

* And last but not least cleaning out my car, this weekend, NO excuses!

If you have bees, Abby will never come to your house again. She hates them. For about 2 years she would not wear anything yellow because someone told her bees like yellow!

I wanna come and make soap too, but I don't have a scale. When are you making it?

I'm allergic to bees. Do you hate me. Will you use Ethans epi pin on me if I get stung?

Melissa and I both want to make soap...pick a day and count us in. I'll bring my scale.
Bring Liv here. I have some plants out back that are serious bee/pollinator attractors right now.

I don't want to come and make soap but I would love a bar...the peppermint sounds wonderful. I'll buy one from you.
Bees may just put your neighbors over the edge...I'd stick with going to Lowe's and watching them there.
