what?? Bacon flavored soap.. ohh yeah,,,
So tonight was bonfire night and I always love bonfire night, but tonight I wanted to get inside and make soap, and google soap, and wash with soap.. LOL I haven't showered yet, but ZI have ordered and googled and planned my ingrecients for my next batch, and all I have to say it these people I live with better start doing some serious washing cuz otherwise imma have soap out the woowoo... Its stacking up already and I have 4 lbs still to concoct and more inthe mail somewhere betweeen here and fedex new York..
here is some of the things ZIve tried and some of the results on myself...
tea tree... everything should have atleast some amount of tea tree in it.. That stuff is like bottled magic.. Ill tell you my story of the wart that went away sometime.. But not now..
kudzu power and tea tree oil in clear glycerin soap scented with macintosh apple scent. loooove it.. My skin is baby soft.. and the smell is almost good enough to eat.. it is a keeper..
tea tree and cocoa - didnt like so much it didnt make me feel clean, and I broke out. I cant say for sure if it was the soap or Eve and the curse that did it to me so I will give it another try sometime when Im not dealing with the dot at the end of my sentence..
tea tree with a dot of udder butter - i have no complaints nor remarkably amazing stories about it..
and just plain soap with "wake up rosemary" scent from "brambleberry" and it is amazingly great smelling and I love it.. Its not just rosemary its minty an rosemary and just wonderful..
so to sum it up kudzu and tea tree, and wakeup rosemary are the best by far... so far
I found some bacon scent for soap on natures garden that I ordered today and I am excited for it to get here cuz I know seeral bacon lovers who will looove this stuff even if for a novelty gift Im sure it will be Hott Hott Hott...
thats all for now.. Gums and back hurt.. painful gums usually mean im about to get a cold so.. Imma go get plenty of beauty sleep so hopefully I can avoid the part where I feel like double crap..
blog you late taters..

I cant find art class ashtrays
I guess I am a sporadic blogger. This will be my third post today and today is only getting started. I may go three or four days without a single post again, then BAM!!! here I am in your face again. I have lots on my mind today.
I have always had a soft spot for the misfits, the ugly ducklings, and so forth and so on.. My mom loves to tell this story about how we went to the pound to adopt a dog and I picked out the ugliest most scraggly looking dog there, and she says when she asked me why I picked the ugly one I told her " cuz no one else would love him cuz he was so ugly". I still have that same love for ugly I guess.. Because when we went to adopt our cat a while back I didn't pick the ones upfront looking cute and trying to get attention. I picked the one hiding inside the cat box with her back turned to me. She has turned out to be a wonderful cat. It took her a while to get used to us, but now that she has she is perfect.
Even what I collect is a little "ulier" than most people would enjoy. But I collect pottery made by kids. You know that ashtray they made in 2nd grade that you smiled and said you loved, then stuck in the attic and forgot about.. I love that stuff.. I see a art class vase, or a ashtray that was supposed to be a soup bowl.. I snag it up. Cuz the thing about this kid of art is it is real. It wasn't made to sell, it wasn't mass produced. Some child somewhere sat down with the sole intention of making a great gift for mom or dad and did just that.. Its the kind of art that comes from an unselfish, untainted place, made with love, and presented with pride...
Of course this isnt the kind of thing you find everyday, and in my searching I havent found one single child made pottery peice at all.. But I wish I could cuz Id buy it all.. and Id display it on my shelf with pride..
Thank goodness beauty is in the eye of the beholder..
have you found pottery by children on etsy? If so Id love a link.. Cuz I absolutely looove the stuff..

wind chimes
check out this great little DIY project I found online this morning. Another thing to add to my "to do" list. The list is getting long. Have you made this? How did it turn out? any tips or ideas yu want to share? Today's project will be windchimes. The kids and I will scavange around the house and see what fun things we can come up with to make windchimes.So far im thinking spoons might be a neat thing to use in a windchime. People play spoons as musical imstruments so the clinky clanky sound of spoons will be perfect. Here is one I found online, and we can add glitter. Glitter makes everything better, and some clear sparkly beasd to something like this and it will be fabulous.
Ohhh or this is nice too. Not sure what kind of sound it would make but check it out they used the sink plugger thingy.. how cool and recyley is that?
how pretty is this one?
here is a splendid crystal windchime I found on etsy.. I doubt ours will be this wonderful but if anyone wanted to buy me a gift.. This just made top of my wishlist..
Do you have ideas on what we can use to make some beautiful windchimes to go in our child friendly everything is touchable garden?
I find windchimes to be so calming Im pretty excited about this project.
But next on the project list will have to be this little feeder. Its too cute not to make.
So these are on our agenda, windchimes and a bird feeder. If you have any suggestions, ideas, tips, or tricks to offer please post them. Its great to let kids have a free spirit and try things and enjoy creating without limits. But as a parent its also good to go into a project with some kind of rough sketch in your mind of what you are trying to accomplish and what obstacles you might meet on the journey. Havea great sunday all. See ya back here later.
The head as promised
So I promised pictures of our foam head planter a few days ago and slow as I am I did finally get it done. She doesn't look like much yet, but when the vines take off and flow to the ground like hair she will look awesome. She is standing in a patch where we have planted wild flowers that should cover the stake she is on. The pniwheels are just something we added so she wouldn't look so bare until our plants start to grow. The kids painted her. I think she is beautiful and will be an awesome addition to our wild flower garden. I wanted a garden area that was completely kid friendly they can walk in it pick flowers in it. They helped decorate it so there is nothing in it that they cannot touch.
I hope you like what you see as much as we do.
I will update with pictures when things start to grow and the vision in my mind becomes reality. But I was so excited about the idea that I tought I'd go ahead and share these first stages. Let me know what you think.

Still playing with my new toy.. My Bamboo pen tablet. Its pretty interesting. Much easier to et the hang of than I thought it would be. Im still not great with it but I think I can get the hang of it. Here is a little about the foam head planter my kids and I made over the weekend.
Denim MP3 Player Holder
Found this treasure today while wandering around the web. Its a great idea for recycling old jeans and it looks cool too. You could even bedazzle, or embelish it if you wanted to for some added pizazz. Would be the perfect fathers day gift for a dad who loves his tunes. let the kids decorate it a little and add that personal touch to it.click the picture to learn more

felt owl purse and mushroom bag from Reform School
Im a huge fan of owls and whooo wouldn't be after they see this adorable little purse made of felt.
I also found this on the Reform School website for only $18.00 Mushrooms, and owls baby.. thats what life is about. And coffee but thats another post.
Click the picture to go to the originating site)
Crayon Hearts
I found these on Martha Stewart Living web site and I think they are so pretty. It is shown as a valentines craft but I think it would be pretty anytime. You could even tweak the shape to be for halloween, or christmas, or.. the 4th of july. Kids will be coming home tomorrow with all of this years broken crayons and now I know what I will be doing with them. My only concern is them melting in a southern summer window. I think I would probably recommend hanging them in a window that doesn't get direct sunlight. Ill post my results in the next few days. Until then click the lin or the picture to go to the instructions.
crayon carving
Maybe these pictures will inspire you guys. I got pretty excited over them myself. But I don't think I have the eye sight, steady hand, or patience to create such small carvings. If you do.. Or if you have please share your creations in the comment section below.

barrel of monkeys
Did you know you can join a pair of "monkeys in a barrel" monkeys in more than 80 different ways?
are you a barrel of monkeys fan? get yourself this solid sterling barrel of monkeys necklace
or how about a barrel of monkeys tattoo. (it would be better in color but thats just my opinion)
How about go next halloween as monkeys in a barrel
If you're feeling crafty you can make crochet yourself a barrel of monkeys..
Tell me about your barrel of monkeys (kids dont count) did your grandma crochet you a barrel of monkeys? Were you obsessed with the game as a kid? Do you have a barrel of monkeys key chain? leave your stories in the comment section.
