Sunday Odds and Ends

Posted on April 22, 2012 by Kathie

The color thing will be later this week. Scientific research takes time, ya know.

I am still doing soap. I am not great at it yet, but I am getting better. I have learned that when you find a recipe that works, stay with it. Each time I try something different, it does not work. I am going to have to figure out how to change the colors, maybe swirl it, because it looks alike.

This is the pvc pipe I have tried to use as a mold. First I could not get the stuff out. Then I sliced it, and used clamps.  It worked, but not great. I am done with PVC pipe. I have to figure out something else to use. I do not want to buy molds. I want to make them.

I have patchouli scented soap in this:

Problem is, you can only use this once. I do not want to eat a case of Pringles!!

These are vanilla.

These are vanilla lavender.

And these are the ends, also known as “Soap for Friends!”  lol

I made this today with something that is a combination of clove, lemon and eucalyptus.  It is going to be wonderful or awful.

This one is nutmeg. I am really hoping this turns out great, because it is my favorite spice.Not only did I use the essential oil, but I also used actual nutmeg.

I took this the other morning. I thought it was rather pretty.

Brando says hi.

So does Xena!

It is suppose to snow tonight. Crazy weather!

There is no more chick egg.  However, they are sitting on two more. One of the young ones is really nasty.  I have a video here that shows just how nasty.

Jan’s Favorites Round Out The Week For Us

Posted on April 20, 2012 by Kathie

Jan sent me these. She can comment and tell us why she likes them. I enjoyed the musical week, actually. I have a blog planned for the weekend that is full of odds and ends photos and a story about me and the NRA.

Talking guitars, Peter Frampton

Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, Beatles
Jan, I had to put up a different version than you sent because that one had blocked embeding.

Up on the Roof, Carole King and James Taylor

Where Do the Children Play, Cat Stevens

In the Air Tonight, Phil Collins
I had to change this one too. Sometimes it just does not load.

Idea for a blog next week: What is your favorite color, and what color is your least favorite? I found a personality and healing chart, and this might be interesting.

Ann and Becky’s Favorites

Posted on April 17, 2012 by Kathie

Appropriate that they are together since they are related. I am so interested as to what a variety of music we are getting. Tomorrow will be Dianna’s and whom ever else send me their list.
Tomorrow, Chris Young

Ann started out with two, but she wanted to add a third. Pam, you will be surprised at her second.
Ripple, Grateful Dead

Hallelujah, Jeff Beck

Beast of Burden, Rolling Stones

Side Note: No chickie yet. I think it should have happended already, but they were still sitting on it last night. This morning none of them were in the nest. We shall see.

Second Side Note: After two failed attempts at soap making, I have made a successful batch. Lemon Grass. It is wonderful. I will so another soap blog later, but wanted the joyous news to be out there!!!
