Well we have monday down, only 4 days to go until a 3 day weekend, I don't know why I am looking so forward to it, maybe just the fact of going and doing only what I want to do at the lake has something to do with it.
It was a busy weekend, made my bread and butter pickles, a small batch of soap I didn't have too many supplies left, waiting for my shipment to come in should be here thursday but won't have time to play with it until next week sometime, I really feel the need to get more soap going as the more people who try it really like it, had to laugh at one of the ladies that works out in our warehouse, I gave her a sample last week, and then asked if she had liked it, she said she didn't use it yet, I kept telling her your gonna like it..... today she says to me I used your soap and boy is it ever nice , had all I could do to not say "I told ya so" lol so guess who wants to order some? I just feel with Christmas coming on and people wanting lotion and soaps I am going to get behind as the soaps have to sit for 4-6 weeks before I can sell them.
Oh I am so ready for fall, I just love that you can just smell that faint hint of it in the air, it is by far my favorite season, I know I know after that comes "shhhhh winter" but that doesn't stop me from having it be my favorite time of year.
Thought I would share a few pictures and then I need to go do something constructive, why is it when you are work, all you think about is what you are going to do when you get home, and then you get home and find out your "got up and go got up and went?" well I did cut my flowers down to the dirt in most of my pots outside, and I did cut a batch of soap, and I am going to go knit, I so want to get this baby blanket done!! just to start another one, but the sooner they are done I can go on to some fun things!
Well I hope everyone has a fabulous week!!!
Blog at ya later
Ok I have to tell you the story behind the stainless steel mixing bowl, this is my new best friend I kid you not, I ordered it on ebay for soap making thought it would be nice to have a "handle" on things when making my soap, well it arrived and I can't part with it, I could seriously get rid of every other bowl in my kitchen, I LOVE IT!! I actually found another one on ebay and bought that one too, not sure which one will be for soap making this is a 6 quart, and not sure I think the new one is a 5 quart but we will see, so if you don't happen to have one of these...... well your missing out!!
This is my second gallon jug of bread-n-butter pickles, they are pretty tasty :)
