For Fun

First of all, I found this hilarious blog post that I wanted to share.  Enjoy!

Secondly, I took some pictures of my recent home endeavors and wanted to share them here for something other than fertility talk. 


Here are some pictures of the new pillows I made with my wonderful sewing machine.  I hope to start working on a baby quilt for my sister soon. 


And here are some pics of the process of making homemade laundry detergent.  It is SO easy, and much more environmentally friendly and affordable.  If anyone would like the recipe, this is all it is:
- 1 bar of shaved bar soap (I use Ivory and grate it with a cheese grater)
- 1/2 cup borax
- 1/2 cup washing soda
All you do is stir and stir and stir until it is very fine and mixed well together.  I do about 6 batches at once and that fills up a bit more than half of an ice cream pail.   Then, use 2 tsp per load of laundry!  My laundry is fresh and clean and the colors have stayed in all my clothes.  I love it.  


Lastly, here are the cinnamon buns I made yesterday.  They were soooo yummy!  I only had one, since I'm trying to watch my sugar intake, but they are definitely the best I have ever made.

  1. Nice job on the pillows. I'd love to learn to sew and be able to make my own baby quilt. Maybe I'll learn someday... Great, now I want a cinnamon bun. Thanks! :)
