    Dreaming of Chickens - Rocky and Carlo's

    Just a quick update. Not a whole lot going on, but we do have a total of about 10 eggplants coming in not. Not bad for a couple of bushes I wanted to yank out of the ground about 2 months ago. And greenbeans!!!! Our bush beans are started to produce! I noticed this morning that several plants...

    Anyone hand wash their clothes?

    That is a great idea! I'd love to turn my laundry room into a big pantry. It wouldn't be a walk in, but that would be a lot of space. But, the fact is that off all of my modern conveniences the washer would be the 2nd to last thing to go. (the refrigerator/freezer would be last in case you were...

    The Sufficient Self DIY Halloween Costume Thread! (pic heavy)

    When I was about 9 or 10 my mom didn't have the money to get me a costume, so I put on some jeans and a white shirt. Then I went to the first aid kit and took out the ace bandages and wrapped myself up and I was a mummy. Worked out pretty good.

    craft shows

    I agree that the craft shows have been pretty sad. I'd really like to see some of them have restrictions that a large percentage of the items have to be hand crafted by the booth owner. I think I'd like to try out sell at a craft show. We'll see. I'm not currently working on anything that I...

    It's Just DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!

    I had an English PROFESSOR, for goodness sake, that used to say idears instead of ideas. To make it worse she would emphasize and drag out the rs. It was kind of like this: "You mush be able to clearly convey your idearrrrssss to your reader." Drove me absolutely crazy. Other than that she was a...

    Soap Making 101

    I have been wanting to try soap making for a while now. We have two big events coming up in the next few weeks. When those are over I think it will be soap make'n time!

    Dreaming of Chickens - Rocky and Carlo's

    Yep. Being surrounded by all that nice warm gulf and lake water really makes a difference in the climate. Go just a little north to Baton Rouge where there is less influence from the lake and the gulf and it's like a different world. That is why I say Baton Rough is too far north for me. It's a...

    Extreme Couponing

    We use coupons. They help out a lot especially when pairing them with sales. I helps that we are not brand specific with too many items. None of the stores in our area double coupons, but every little bit helps. If there are a couple of coupons for something that is on sale and it is a really...

    Checked and lightly watered the gardens this morning. Everything looks good except one bell pepper that I am still not sure about. It lost one of it's two leaves. On the upside the eggplant bush looks great! There are at least 5 eggplants coming in and maybe another 5 that look promising. :weee...
