Roses and Rust Oct 2011

This Show had alot of stress behind it but in the end it turned out to be a magical day and it was beautiful. I got to meet lots of new friends, see old ones and even connect with a high school friend that came to visit me from SAC!!!! Between that and meeting Jacque and James Ferreira from Old Soul Studios in person my heart was HAPPY! Here is some PIX from the day! ENJOY!

New Look on my BLOG....can we say EXCITED!!!!

Good Morning everyone,
I changed the look of my blog and I wanted to share who did my artwork. The Background is from Shabby Blogs: http://shabbyblogs.com/ They have a wonderful selection of backgrounds to make your BLOG more hip!

But my favorite is my banner; Renee Thompson from flybirdfly Designs always does my work and I love her Etsy Site; http://www.etsy.com/shop/flybirdflydesigns?ref=pr_shop_more

She can create Custom Etsy Banners & avatars • Business cards • Logos • Hang tags, fabric labels, earring cards • Blogs • Custom Collage work • Web ads • Postcards, Stickers, labels • Gift certificates •Wedding Invites and so, so much more! You will not be dissapointed with her creations for you!

How to make your own Laundry Soap ( my new fave thing!)

1 Box of Borax

1 Box of Arm and Hammer's Washing Soda

1 Bar of Fels-Naptha soap ( buy more they are CHEAP 98 cents)

1 5 gallon bucket

and VIOLA your ready!

Fill your bucket up with 3 gallons of water,

1/2 cup of Borax
1 cup of A&H Washing Soda
1 whole bar of Fels Naptha (grated on a cheese grater)

get a pan and take the water from the 5 gallon bucket fill the pan 1/2 full of water

In the 5 gallon bucket pour in the Borax and A&H Washing Soda MIX WELL

Take the Fel Naptha (grated and put it in the pan of water and put on the stove over a med/low heat and let it melt completely. When melted pour this mixture in the 5 gallon bucket and MIX WELL! Put the lid on and let sit overnight. When you check it out in the morning it will look like goup........its OK....let me tell you this stuff WORKS GREAT, and its cheap and you feel good you made it!

USe a scoop or a 1 cup measurer and use 1 scoop per load.....this 5 gallon bucket lasted me 2 months!

Loving the Sunshine and the gardening time

After 4 years the back yard is looking full, lush and garden chic-ish!

I was so thrilled to see all my fruit trees have decided to bare fruit this year; my Mutsu Apple, Fuji Apple, Italian Prune and my Kim Elberta Peach!!! Every single one is LOADED with fruit, and I can proudly say all organic.

With the Funky Season we have had with El Nina, I fear my veggie garden will not be producing until late July......my poor tomatoe plants still look like seedlings!

And my girls AKA the chickens have scratched up all my carrot and beet seedlings....little stinkers but they are happy and Im happy watching them scratch and look for bugs! Talking about my girls, I had to get rid of one and get a new one, because one went mean on us.....so she got taught a lesson and went to a new home where she is at the bottom of the food chain and she got put in her place real quick and we got Splash......a one year old cohchin bantam....she is sooooo cute! See pix below!

Im enjoying my herbs that Im using for tea and cooking, its so fun walking out to the patio and picking some mint for some evening tea!

I promise to have more time to dedicate to blogging as I had a friend help me get set up on Goggle Read and I uploaded all my faves to my Android and I sit at Swim practice and catch up on blog reading so I thought I better write on mine more......so be watching for more blog writing from The Green Mum.!
