Gifts For Dad

 

 I'm having a lot of fun making soap for my Dad!  I gave him a bar of the Pine Tar soap and he loves it!  I love it too!  I have a piece by my sink and it's the first one I reach for -  and I have a lot of soap by my sink!  This pine tar soap really calms down itchy skin.  I also had some cuts and a burn on my hand, after I started using the pine tar soap the cuts and burn healed up SO FAST!  I was really impressed.  It's also a very nicely moisturizing bar.  Your skin feels soft, but not greasy.  It's a really great bar and I think I will be making more of it!

My newest creation is the steel grey bar scented with Axe dark temptations.  This is a really nice, simple bar.  Perfect for men - smells wonderful.  It has nice clean lines and, according to my unofficial survey, that is important to guys.  They might think something like this Alice bar looks neat, but what they want is an unfussy bar that gets them clean.

The Steel Grey bar is made with goats milk and it has an amazing amount of fluffy moisturizing lather.  I really love the recipes I have developed - nice hard bars that last and last, but tons of moisturizing bubbles and lather in the bath.

Watch Tibby Live!

Tibby has her orientation/interview day at doggie daycare tomorrow.

You can watch her play with other dogs all day long!

I will be there around 7am to drop her off and around 3pm to pick her up, so you might see me too!

Here is the address for the web cam:

Woof dah!

I'm really nervous she will get rejected, but she loves other dogs, so I think she will have fun playing all day long.

It's too bad the daycare is so far away. It will have to be an only once every couple months and for overnight boarding when I go on vacation treat for Tibby. If anyone wants to open a Woof dah! type doggie daycare near me I will be their FIRST customer.

Happy Hatch Day!

I am such a bad chicken mommy!

August 1st was the 2 year anniversary of my hens hatching.

It's hard to believe it all started 2 short years ago.....

In this last year there have been many changes: Pippa found a new home, Lavender hatched out 4 chicks and Honey died.

What started out as the flock of five has expanded to a flock of eight and then to a tiny flock of four.

With any other chicks that I add to the flock, I will never feel the same trepidation and excitement that I felt that first night when I went to pick up their tiny cardboard box at the post office.

It was petrifying! It was so easy to order them online, but then to have 5 little lives that depend on you for everything!?!

That was terrifying.

I thought I was prepared, but I had no idea what it would be like to have chickens.

I thought they would be pets, but I didn't know I would love them.

Who loves a chicken?

I do!!
