happenings on the farm

Grace, my artist, spends her morning painting her miniature tea set.

Not a morning passes, that my little lady is not

up before everyone else, drawing and painting.

My bedroom wall is proof of her best work.:)

I love my little Picasso.I am bottle feeding two orphaned kittens, every 4 hours.

We've never really been cat people.

We had a cat years ago but decided to not get another once she was gone.

Lately, our girl, has been asking for a cat.

Guess what daddy came home with Saturday?

TWO newborn kittens!!

The manager at Lowes asked him to take them because the mother had not came back.
They are cute....but every 4 hours.

I'm thinking tonight, they can wait until morning.

I WON...
I have never won a contest....not even the three legged race in second grade.
But I won this darling little book about homeschooling.
A GREAT big thank you to Lisa at homesteadoriginals.com



I'm going on a journey.
To the South of France...well....not exactly.
I'll think about the South of France when I use this French soap.

I have read stacks of books and researched websites.

The ingredients are here, and tomorrow I will attempt to make soap.

I feel like a chemist.

To be honest, I made a batch last month.

It flopped!

I know what I did wrong.

One batch of oatmeal honey soap is

on the to do for Friday.
So exciting!

One day, I hope to teach my daughter, how to make good quality soap.
I'm using all natural vegetable based ingredients.

I will let you know how it turns out.

Have a blessed day!
