WooHoo! Fabric came yesterday and I had to play with the sewing machine. I got some really great fabric, some strawberry print cotton, a cute bug print that my SIL is already asking me to make her a scrub top from, a kinda weird red and white pattern that I can't figure out what the print is...

Well, according to my mom, who used to be on a school board, it's not unusual to not have teachers hired until August, because contracts usually run out late July. But REALLY!!! :he Paint is on the wall in the bathroom. I have to touch up the ceiling - I'm horrible at cutting in. I've got...

I know I'm the odd one out here, but the pigs are WAY cuter than the ducklings. Seen one duckling, you've seen them all. However, those porkers are awesome. sigh, missing me some pigs.

Really? And when are you due????? Sure seems sooner than later!

We're only on 3 acres, so it's mainly for us and maybe the neighbor and my parents. So, only REALLY local. I want my kids to have animals, besides pets, to amp up the responsibility. We always had animals when I was growing up and my kids NEED that experience.

I need to save enough to buy my fencing so I can bring home the Dexter cattle we are getting.

9 pints of pickled beets today. Wish my tomatoes would ripen faster than one every day or so.

Nope, got 'em up here in Wisconsin and Illinois, too. Have to go shopping there tonight!

I spent $2 on a whim and got a scratch-off lottery ticket and I actually won $50! :thumbsup Gee, now I can pay for my ebay splurge the last few days. :hide

Thats what I was thinking...

I'm confused. My daughter is going to be going to the new 4K program at our public school this year. Called the school, because we still haven't found out if she's going to be in the morning or afternoon class, no school supply list, yet, basically no information. Actually got someone to...

I got 40 yards of cotton material on Ebay for 8 bucks and free shipping - they are paying me to take that material, it's going to cost them more than that to ship it, even if they parcel post it!!! Also go 40 spools of new sewing machine thread for $20! It's got some weird colors in it, but my...

Been busy today. Got some pickled beets canned today. Showing the kids how beet juice can dye fabric, so I should have two flour sack towels soaking in some of the beet juice - worse that will happen is that it bleeds into the red towels I'll wash it with. :) Weeded some of the garden. I...

We still haven't gotten the list for my 4-year-old, but here's the list for my 3rd grader. In all fairness, we do send her to a Catholic grade school, so WE are the budget. Grade 3 4 glue sticks, 2 Tacky glue & 1 Elmers glue (Art Dept.) crayons (any size) 1 set of markers Pencils & erasers...

Is that what I would look for is BT powder? Or is it called something else? Thanks for the help.

I think you make that more than my family does, and that is saying a lot. We were talking about birthdays coming up, and my brother and I both said the ultimate is chocolate mayonaisse cake with chocolate marshmallow ice cream. Now that's heaven!!!!!

Not really a local thing - kinda hard to grow rice in Wisconsin, but I just scored a 20# bag of rice for $4 at the local bent and dent store! WooHoo!

Seriously, I'm jealous of anyone who gets to plant a fall garden. I'm finally getting stuff from my regular garden. The only thing I'll be putting in this fall will be garlic cloves, so I have oodles (fingers crossed) of garlic next year.

Well, if procrastinating can save money, we did that this week. :hide By delaying when we ordered the flooring for the bathroom, we were able to get 11% of our total Menard's bill back as a rebate check. :rolleyes: So, we'll be getting about $67 dollars back in a few weeks. Plus, we saved...

Wow, been awhile since I've been on here. :hide Last few weeks have been crazy busy. The end of construction is almost in sight. Walls are plastered. I spent 2 hours sanding what I could without a ladder :th Now, I just need to get my butt on the ladder and finish the bedroom. The closet is...
