Recycled Dish Scrubbie ~ More Freezer Baking


Thanks to Mooberry Farm Homesteading Journal, I have found another way to utilize my plastic net bags from my lemons, and other fruits and vegetables (vs. cutting the bags and crocheting the bags together). For directions
visit:  Make an Onion Bag Dish Scrubby.


Although, for the one above in the photo, I simply crocheted directly into the lemon bag.  You can also fill these types of net bags with food for birds.  For more ideas visit S.C.R.A.P. Blogspot.

Scrubbie Update:  I just washed dishes with it.  Works as good as my other scrubbies I made:

This one (the green one) last a long time.  I crocheted a rectangle of cotton yarn for the other side.  I may do this also for the new scrubbies that are made from mesh bags.



And thanks to Candy again at Lazy J Bar C Farm, I pulled a container of my frozen pumpkin puree and made her Pumpkin Spice Muffins.  I have enough of my puree to make another batch.  I love these recipes, because they bake 18 vs. 12 and in our large family, more is better.  The family gobbled these up too.  They are light and I love how they come off the paper liner completely.  I've made many muffins over the years, and some do stick to the liners. 

And....despite all this baking, I have now lost 5.4 pounds.  Yay!

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
