Do you remember where you got the pattern for the Plastic Canvas Santa Money Holder?
Joanne, I'll look in my and see where I got it. I just have to go help with barn chores and bottle feed a few goats first. I will check for you and get back with you.
Joanne said…
Awww feeding the baby goats must be fun. Thank you I appreciate it.
Joanne, the goats are a lot of fun. I found my original ornament, and the reason I don't have a printed pattern resource, is that I made it myself. I'll be working up a post to show how I made it. Hopefully I can find a way to make easy instructions.

Thanks

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs?

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season.
