Thrift Store Find


1 (Morgan Jones) double bed sheet and 2 pillow cases - $3.69 total.  1 cotton blanket - $1.00


The blanket will be used for the kidding time with the goats (used towels are smaller and cost more at thrift stores here), and the sheet and pillow cases will be used on beds here.  They will also be used for my summer, backyard wall tent and for camping.

I've been making my own detergent for awhile now and had noticed that my hand towels were getting pretty dark in the middle so I bought and used oxi bleach...I think it's peroxide based, to see if that would help on my pastels. If they don't start coming clean I'm going to have to do something else. I'm putting "clean" clothes on and they're not looking very clean! Any ideas? I use the washing soda, baking soda, and Borax recipe.
Great buy at the thrift store! I snagged a set of L L Bean flannel sheets once at a garage sale for $3.00 and every time I use them I smile! Love a great deal/steal!
I hope your doggy feel better soon...poor thing especially when they're always so brave and uncomplaining.
Back about 7 years ago, I used to make my own "oxi clean" but haven't since I moved. I'll see if I can find the recipe and try some on our white towels. I think it was peroxide, washing or baking soda and maybe one other ingredient. I'll see if I can find it.

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? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. 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. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
