With this blog I desire to share those aspects of myself in hopes to encourage, uplift, inspire and comfort you. Please feel free to leave comments and/or suggestions.
Not all is my personal work and I will give copywrite, logos and/or links.
I am not perfect and don't have all of the answers, I AM a work in progress.Deborahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07718339729657899009noreply@blogger.comBlogger33125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-667326696509404618.post-38610004243551670762013-06-25T18:43:00.000-07:002013-06-25T18:43:45.926-07:00<u><b>Joyous-The Word of Wisdom</b></u><br />
<u><b><br /></b></u>
Okay, I have fallen short with my blog, some for good reason, I got a job and worked, but that was April and May. My last post was January, when I launched the plan for a New Me and my plans to loose weight. That didn't happen. Depression really is a struggle for me and I was dealing with a lot of it during that time off.<br />
<br />
I still have work to do, but am doing much better, especially if I do not talk about the things that were hurting me, that would only be digressing.<br />
<br />
I wanted to write again and keep up with WHY I started this blog in the first place, to look past the negative things in my life and and focus on WHO I Am.<br />
<br />
I AM a Beautiful, Compassionate, Creative, Joyous woman.<br />
I AM also a LDS woman. And I would like to thank Sister Ann Dibb (President Monson's daughter) for putting an extra special spin on this. "I Know It, I Live It, I Love It." Her talk given at the October 2012 General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Plus Sister Julie Beck, former Relief Society General President "Mother's Who Know".<br />
<br />
With this year we are studying the Doctrine and Covenants in sunday school and 2 weeks ago we had the lesson on The Word of Wisdom. I was nearly finish with the book The Word of Wisdom-A Modern Interpretation by John A. Widsoe and Leah D. Widsoe.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
I have since finished it and am excited to share it.<br />
<br />
When you think of the topic of the Word of Wisdom, what first comes to mind? No coffee, tea, tobacco, alcohol?<br />
<br />
It is true that that is a good part of it. Most people outside of the church point those things out when they talk about mormons. But that is not all what it is about.<br />
<br />
This book really goes deeper into health and nutrition and it's really what we as members and non-members as well should really take a deeper look at ourselves and if WE are really living the Word of Wisdom as it is written.<br />
<br />
I know for me, we do not eat meat a lot, but we do eat it far more then we should as it is laid out in the scriptures.<br />
<br />
I had an experience when I was 19 that caused me to look at myself deeper. I cannot remember exactly how it went, but the topic came up that I didn't drink coffee or caffein sodas at that time, and another lady chimed in of how YOU MORMONS don't really live the Word of Wisdom with your WHITE bread, sugar consumption and other ways you eat.<br />
<br />
It set me back a bit as I was just out of my parents home where my mother made white bread, meat was at every meal, yet my mother was really good at having a big garden, and canning. This lady was right.<br />
<br />
I learned to make whole wheat bread and made it a priority to have a garden and to can and freeze and all those things we do as members. Yet we (my family) have not fixed all the things we need to do better.<br />
<br />
The book really kicked my behind and got me to really take a better look at how I feed my family, even though I have been taking a closer look at in the past 2 years with two other books:<br />

I got the top one when I watched a video on YouTube on Healthy Homemade Cold Cereal and it directed me to more videos on the truths about Oil, Raw Milk and many other things pertaining to our current food and the bad health we have especially here in the USA.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I got the bottom book because I was concerned about possible food allergies in myself and my question of the numerous people with food allergies to wheat, milk, eggs and others.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I will tell you, eating better is in deed a big change for me as well as many of us. I am certain that so many of our health problems today can be resolved or at least minimized if we take better care of what we put in our bodies.</div>

I hope that I have given some help to someone to take a better look at yourself, that we can ALL do better at living The Word of Wisdom and receive the promised blessings when we do.</div>

<br />
So off to the next stage. Measurements and the workout.<br />
<br />
Bust 47 1/2<br />
Waist 48<br />
Hips 56<br />
Right Arm (upper) 8<br />
Right Thigh 28<br />
Weight 230 lbs.<br />
<br />
When I told Charly and Bill that I was going to get up at 6 a.m. to start my workout, Charly piped in saying she wanted to get up to. She wants to be my trainer (my Jillian)<br />
<br />
Sunday night I found my work out on YouTube and watched it so I knew what to expect. Finding it on the downstairs TV would be easier then on the computer downstairs. It was a good workout. I AM OUT OF SHAPE.<br />
<br />
Before my workout I got my water ready with Slim and Sassy Metabolic Blend in it, and drank a glass of milk.<br />
<br />
Last night I also put together my Log book where I will keep track of measurements, workout, and what I eat and drink. I will also use it as a journal when I need to write about my experiences.<br />
<br />
I will be purchasing a mat today as the carpet is not enough (it's thin).<br />

This is my adorable trainer, one of the reasons I am doing this. I want to be able to play with, hike with, walk with, run with, and be around for her when she marries and has children and grandchildren.<br />

I am thankful to say that it is because I have been anxiously engaged in good. From my new job tending two sweet babies, canning, getting the farm ready for winter, bringing a son home from a mission, and celebrating 25 years of marriage to my sweetheart, I have had my hands full.<br />
<br />
I have had some emotional set backs too, as I suffer from depression. But this blog is not meant for my asking for sympathy, but to give of myself as I work through my difficulties.<br />
<br />
This month brings a lot to mind as we get ready for Thanksgiving and then the holidays in December, particularly Christmas, as I am a christian, but not to overlook the Jewish holidays as Jesus was a Jew.<br />
<br />
Thanksgiving can easily overwhelm us with thoughts of what pies am I going to make this year, where are we going to have dinner and all the other good and meaningful things that go into getting together and eating a fabulous meal, however, we all know it is and should be more than that.<br />
<br />
<u>Thanks</u>-<u>giving</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
Giving thanks for what we have, our homes, job(s), education, freedoms, good health (or not as bad as it could be), family, food on the table (even when it's not as much of or what we would rather have), etc.<br />
<br />
Look around you--are there others who are doing worse off than you?<br />
<br />
It would be really easy to look at what we don't have and complain or even criticize. Let me tell you, I do plenty of that, especially when my depression gets bad and I wonder <u>why</u> I need to go through "this".<br />
<br />
Those are the times we need to rise above and <u>really</u> look at the good in our lives.<br />
<br />
I have seen many friends on Facebook, post something they are thankful for each day in November.<br />
<br />
I would challenge you to start now and do it too. You can even post several a day in order to catch up.<br />
<br />
I think as we do this we will find a lot more "thanks" rather than "why me".<br />
<br />

Here is a link so you can purchase the ingredients to make your own cosmetics.<br />
<br />
I really do like make-up but it can be so expensive and sometimes it's not the right shade, so it goes to waste.<br />
<br />
I love being a DIY girl too. I make my own laundry soap, baby wipes, cleaning wipes, bread, butter, (the list really is quite boring to some so I won't go on) and now I want to make my own cosmetics.<br />
<br />
This site will give you <b>ALL</b> you need. You can even buy kits to get you started, then just buy the refills of what you need.<br />
<br />
They have containers, boxes, brushes, equipment, presses and molds, everything you will need to make your own. You can even make gifts for someone.<br />
<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><u>Camping with a small car</u></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><u><br /></u></span>
I love camping and I have a lot of 'STUFF' I take camping, but since we downsized from a suburban to a small car, it's really difficult to find room for my likes and necessities. Plus some equipment can cost a lot of money, so I have some ideas of how to deal with both.<br />
<br />
I loved watching 'The Home' show in the late 80's with Diane Thomas, and when I found these two books at a thrift store, I grabbed them.<br />

She is amazing and has a lot of wonderful ideas. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I was in the young women's organization, we had a camp crafter's manual that also had some wonderful ideas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<u>Tent:</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For several years, we had a really nice 2-room tent. It was not only used for our family, but girls camps and youth campouts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well a couple of summers ago, after and family camp, we set it up in the back yard to air dry. During the night a strong wind storm came up and bent poles and ripped the tent. NO MORE TENT.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We were done camping for the year so we thought, maybe next year we'll get a new one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, a ward campout came up and we didn't have the funds for a new tent, and we really wanted to do. Charly was little and could sleep on the back seat. I could sleep on the front seat, reclined back, but our tall, teenaged son could not do that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So we took a tarp and stuck on side into the car doors, stretching it out and secured the other side with stakes. Ta-Da--Instant Tent!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are some other ways to use a tarp as a tent.</div>

Fire: If you are able to have a camp fire, this will make your trip a "real camping experience,"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Many times you can get your wood where you will be camping, saving valuable space for other needed items, otherwise you may need to bring your own.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

A great fire starter that doesn't take a lot of space and is easy to make it the egg carton fire starter:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Fill each cup of a cardboard egg carton with dry red pine needles, pieces of paper or dryer lint. Pour melted paraffin over the material, then place a looped string in the wax to be used as a wick.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just tear off a cup, light, and you have a lit fire.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once you have your fire, there are lots of way to cook over the fire.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-stick cooking</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-spit cooking</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-grill supported by rocks</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-pan supported by rocks</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-foil packets</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-paper cups</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For more information on how to use these methods, please refer to the books. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Camp stove:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We have camped places where fires were prohibited, but propane stoves were ok.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These don't have to take a lot of space either.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They can keep you warm, easy to roast marshmallows over, and of course cooking.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We even have a grill box we set over one of the burners.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are many options out there for buying them and making your own.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Food:</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Food doesn't have to take a ton of space either.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Use ziplock bags as mixing containers for biscuits, muffins, pancakes, cakes, meatloaf, etc. You can even scramble eggs in a bag.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Have food prepped at home, store in bags, adding liquids when needed. Then just throw the bag away.</div>

<u>Clean up and Sanitation:</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Most camp grounds have bathrooms, at least the ones I go to so that is NOT something I will discuss here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But keeping clean is important when camping.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hand washing: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Keep hand sanitizer around too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Use a kettle on the stove or in a fire to heat up water.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Washing Dishes:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You don't need to even take a dish pan for this. You can dig a hole in the ground, put a plastic garbage bag down as a liner and fill with water and soap. Remove bag when done and refill with dirt. Leave not trace.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You can even do this for bathing if needed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Personal Grooming:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Take a bath towel for each person. Fold up the lower edge about 5 inches and sew pockets for toiletry items such as toothpaste, soap, cup, comb, mirror, and washcloth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Having rabbits is easy, fun, and occasionally hard (when they escape and you have to try and catch them, I recommend having a long handled fishing net for this)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cages are easy to make, with the right tools, they eat pellets, hay and a lot of other things too. But be careful, there are things they should not eat. If you would like a detailed list of both good and bad just let me know.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They don't take a lot of space and rabbit manure is the only animal manure you can put right onto your garden without it burning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can even make a bunny run (bottomless cage) to put in your yard and they will munch on grass.</div>

Dutch rabbits are great show rabbits, all rabbits are good for 4-H. Some for show, other's for meat. (Sorry if that offends anyone.)</div>

WE are hoping Zander and Flopsy will have babies around the end of the month. Digger seems a little 'shy' with Mopsy. Maybe in another month or so, he'll be ready.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are now trying to sell the Dutch babies (all girls). Only two of the three are available, but we are letting anyone pick from the three, and the last one left will go to the lady letting them use a shed at her house, since DH would not let them be here at first. He is open to them eventually coming back here.</div>

Yes it supposed to ruffled a little and it is a size for the top of a queen. It doesn't go down on the sides.<br />
<br />
I sure love my nieces and nephews and look forward to make each one their own (different styles) afghan for a wedding present.<br />
<br />
I just found out that they are expecting their first child so off to make a baby afghan.<br />
<br />
If you would like the pattern for this, let me know.Deborahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07718339729657899009noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-667326696509404618.post-80407091272118236792012-07-31T11:13:00.000-07:002012-07-31T11:13:36.261-07:00BeautifulI love getting new ideas of things I can make myself.

I can’t even think about the money I’ve spent on beauty products! It’ll make me nauseous! And guess what, I still battle the same skin problems! So, I’m done with it all. I’m making my own and coming to peace with who God made me to be (smile).</div>

Geranium: is an excellent oil for helping you deal with stress, tiredness, and anxiety over problems--all of which can make you look and feel much older than you are. Geranium oil won't actually get rid of the problems for you in a puff of aromatic smoke, but it will get rid of the anxiety so that you can better deal with the problems. It will also treat the various conditions that can manifest themselves on the skin as a result of difficult emotional experiences--red blotches on the chest, spots on the back, or skin that looks saggy or has flaky patches. In addition it will reverse the apathy and body droop that often accompany the troubled mind.</div>
<br />
<br />
<u>Anti Wrinkle Oil (Geranium Body Oil)</u><br />
30 drops Geranium oil<br />
2 T. light nut oil<br />
<br />
This makes a bit the will last a while but I like to quadruple the amount. Store in an amber bottle. I used this on my face and neck, but you can use it all over.<br />
<br />
You can actually see an improvement after one session. Before bathing, stand naked in front of the mirror and observe the posture and look of your body. Now have a bath in which you add 6 drops of Geranium oil (straight, not the blend) and lie there inhaling deeply for at least five minutes. When you get out rub the geranium body oil over your whole body and stretch in all directions for a few minutes. Now have a look in the mirror again. You'll see a marked improvement already, so imagine the difference if you used this treatment every day.<br />
<br />
Below is information on where to get the ingredients, plus a chart to show you haw far one bottle of Geranium essential oil will go and what size of a bottle you will need when you make this blend.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Please if you have any questions, or would like a <b>FREE</b> sample of the oil, give me a comment.</span><br />

Each year seems to bring different ones.<br />
Earthquakes<br />
Fires<br />
Shootings<br />
Floods<br />
Droughts<br />
Economic Hardships<br />
just to name a few.<br />
<br />
It is my testimony that 'these things will give thee experience and shall be for thy good' (D&C 122)<br />

Before we came to earth there was a Great Council, where Heavenly Father told us of His plan for us to come to earth. We would be free to choose.<br />
<br />
Our older brother Satan wanted to take away our freedom and force us to make the right choice.<br />
<br />
Our older brother Jesus said He would come to earth, to be our Savior so that our Father's plan could be upheld and through His atonement we would have a chance to repent of our wrong choices.<br />
<br />
So here we are on earth and we are indeed free to choose. When someone does something bad to someone else, like the recent shootings in Colorado, some may ask "Where was God?" Doesn't he care about those poor people?<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is my testimony that he does care. He weeps when we are bad, when someone is bad to us, when we fall, when we die TOO early. He does not step in to stop it for we are ALL free to choose. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He is there though for each and every one of us. He was there to take home those that were lost. He was there comforting all who were frightened. And yes, I believe he was even there for the shooter, trying to speak to his heart to not do what he had planned. For he too is His child. But he choose the listen more to the father of all lies instead and would not, could not listen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My heart goes out to the victims and their families. To the family of the shooter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am so sorry he made the choices that he did, and the heartache that it left.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Again I would like to leave my song for you to hear "You Are Note Alone" at YouTube on the Iamaldswoman channel. Please listen to it often when ever you are needing comfort.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Please know that these words come from my heart.</div>

<b><u><br /></u></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Happy Holidays!!!!! Oh wait, it's only July</span><br />
<br />
I love to make gifts. I love to receive hand made gifts. Have you ever made something for someone for Christmas, and because of all of the excitement Christmas morning, it doesn't get appreciated? You put a lot of time and love into it.<br />
<br />
Here is an idea for a new tradition: A Handmade Christmas Eve<br />
<br />
Each person draws a name of a family member, then they make something for that person. On Christmas Eve you open those presents, saving Christmas day for the other ones, playing, eating and sleeping.<br />
<br />
Now, with me, making stuff is how I get my budget to work when times are tough. But when times are good, this would still be a great idea.<br />
<br />
I wanted to post this now to give people time to gather ideas and make items so you are not rushed at the last minute. You can set a price limit if you want or make up your own guidelines so someone doesn't get a pet rock while another person gets something really elaborate.<br />
<br />
Here are a couple of ideas:<br />
<br />
-crocheted hot pads (pattern can be found at<a href="http://www.bevscountrycottage.com/kitchen-potholders.html">Bev’s Country Cottage</a>)<br />
-painted garden markers<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

The possibilities are endless and you might be overwhelmed by all of the ideas you can find on the internet. I know I was as I typed in phrases (on images) like-homemade games and found a lunchbox made from an old NES (can also be made into a USB hub), or homemade baby toys, and homemade gifts for men. You might even find ideas for that person who has everything.</div>

<br />
<b style="text-decoration: underline;">Creative: </b> The Lord has blessed me with a talent to write music. Most of the time I can hear a tune, but am unable to write it out due to my lack of knowledge. Someday I hope to go to school to fix that. I have been blessed on occasion to be able to write a song almost immediately.<br />
<br />
Three years ago I had a section of a tune go through my mind, many a sunday during sacrament meeting. I sung the tune into my cell phone hoping not to loose it. Nothing was really done though I tried to write, I couldn't. I just kept sing it in my head.<br />
<br />
<u style="font-weight: bold;">Compassionate:</u> Fast forward to last summer. A friend of mine lost her husband suddenly. I started to sing a song I knew "You're Not Alone" by Michael McLean, then suddenly I started singing the tune I heard for two and a half years.<br />
<br />
Excitement filled my heart and I went to work. I had the help of <a href="http://www.Finale.com/">Finale NotePad</a>:<br />

No it's not queen sized yet (it is on the conference table at work) it's more a lap sized right now. : /<br />

It took a long time to get to this point because I had to undo stitches several times because I didn't like how it was turning out. Then I was inspired how I should go forward. I truly love how the Lord works with me and the talents he has given me.Deborahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07718339729657899009noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-667326696509404618.post-62195675003706051022012-06-15T16:23:00.000-07:002012-06-15T16:23:01.833-07:00Joyous/Service<u>Creation Schedule-</u> Okay, on friday is my service day, or rather prepare for service day.<br />

Write a letter to missionaries and/or military serving. They always welcome contact from home. Get your kids involved and put together something fun for them to display in their room or tent.<br />
<br />
Locate the names and addresses of your missionaries on the bulletin board. Military names can be there too, if not ask!<br />

<br />
Today is Tuesday/ Laundry-Sewing day<br />
<br />
I love to sew and do a lot of it especially when I volunteered for the Empress Theatre here in Magna. I sewed all of my boy's halloween costumes and most of Charly's.<br />
<br />
When Charly was born, I was SO excited to finally have a girl. I knew she would want to do things like mama. So when I found this toy sewing machine, I got it for her.<br />
<br />

It really is just a toy, though it said it could sew. These are available at "J?????" fabric store or even online. I was lucky to get mind at the thrift store.<br />
<br />
This last year our Relief Society sisters went on a tour of the Beehive House, downtown Salt Lake City. It was one of the home of Brigham Young. While there we went by one of the children's rooms. The guide told us the President Young had toys for the children to help them learn basic skills. He supplied fabric for the girls to make cloths for their dolls, and tools and supplies for the boys to build things.<br />
<br />
I was really impressed by that, and while I did make sure my boys got a tools box when they were Bears in the cub scout program, I wanted to now get things for Charly. So I started looking and found this machine that she got for this last Christmas.<br />

It is battery power, however you can get a AC adaptor for it. It does just a basic straight stitch, but that is a all this little girl needs to make fashions for her toys. I got it at "W" for about $20.00, by Dritz, however they are also available at other fabric stores ranging from $20-$75. Watch for sales. You can sign up for ads and emails from "J" and "H" fabric stores here in the valley.<br />
<br />
She also got a sewing basket with pins, thread, pin cushion, bobbins, patterns, tape measure, another small things to get her started. (She loves pink and I was able to get a lot of these in pink).<br />

Here is Charly working on her first project, she designed.<br />

I hate to say it, but I <strong>LOVE</strong> cleaning products. Not cleaning, just the products. Even more, I love <strong>DISPOSABLE</strong> cleaning products. I hate that they're full of chemicals and are wasteful and expensive, but I love the convienience. Somehow having the latest cleaning gadget helps to motivate me to clean. It makes it more fun. Not that it's fun to begin with. I've wanted to make some changes to my habits when it comes to cleaning for a while now.</div>

One of my favorite cleaning products is the Swiffer duster. They are so handy and work so well. If only it weren't for the disposable duster cloths they use (and use, and use). I've been wanting to make a reusable Swiffer duster cloth for a long time but hadn't gotten around to it. I guess I was saving it for <span style="color: #38761d; font-size: medium;"><strong>Go Green Month</strong></span>. I love the reusable flannel duster cloth. It can be washed over and over again, and really does a great job dusting. I <strong>HAD</strong> to share the tutorial so you can all make your own!</div>

This tutorial will guide you through the steps to make your own reuseable Swiffer duster cloth. The best part is that the more it's used and washed, the better it will work! From start to finish, you should have your new duster made within 30 minutes!</div>

<em><strong>Note:</strong> I found that flannel works best at dusting. I also tried using microfiber (you can get microfiber cloths at the dollar store for a couple of bucks), but personally didn't like it as much as flannel. It didn't seem to hold as much dust, and made a HUGE mess as I was cutting it up. Polar fleece may also be a good alternative, but I would still prefer flannel, in my very humble opinion :).</em></div>

<br /><strong>Directions:</strong><br />1. Place two pieces of 4"x7" flannel on two pieces of 7"x7" flannel, centering smaller pieces on top. Repeat with remaining flannel squares.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-a3EqP3qXbYJFiDMklEJHO76eG28-Gzg9qAcSDoLe9cl1YdW6UXScFnXnV82lnoVy5sHMZUTQCN19Sz8VP9eX8wLqxBXw4TZMNObrfVR81uzbOj-gfnC5ziBSzFMm7Kiis0GsrOatcVZT/s1600-h/Sewing+and+Crafts+098.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="color: #5588aa; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" height="428" kt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-a3EqP3qXbYJFiDMklEJHO76eG28-Gzg9qAcSDoLe9cl1YdW6UXScFnXnV82lnoVy5sHMZUTQCN19Sz8VP9eX8wLqxBXw4TZMNObrfVR81uzbOj-gfnC5ziBSzFMm7Kiis0GsrOatcVZT/s640/Sewing+and+Crafts+098.JPG" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 4px; padding-left: 4px; padding-right: 4px; padding-top: 4px;" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />2. Join small and large pieces together by stitching down center of all four layers of fabric as pictured. Stack the two sets of flannel on top of each other, with the small pieces on the top and bottom.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ7u8nv2xZhHRuk-BHwv9FIbh5SZCKvfJoZojhyzGCzAzte16lFmCk-Hxbi7yqeV5Uq91RrjVi4QxyQVzOJTmgCcmRkWVJcqK4UlxNxvv60ovHmqWxngEgCd8IvZbqU9gyZgUrBbUSe7Sv/s1600-h/Sewing+and+Crafts+099.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="color: #5588aa; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" height="428" kt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ7u8nv2xZhHRuk-BHwv9FIbh5SZCKvfJoZojhyzGCzAzte16lFmCk-Hxbi7yqeV5Uq91RrjVi4QxyQVzOJTmgCcmRkWVJcqK4UlxNxvv60ovHmqWxngEgCd8IvZbqU9gyZgUrBbUSe7Sv/s640/Sewing+and+Crafts+099.JPG" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 4px; padding-left: 4px; padding-right: 4px; padding-top: 4px;" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />3. Next, make the casing for the Swiffer duster handle. Fold the small pieces of fabric to one side, align the base of the prongs at the edge of the fabric, and center the prongs over the middle seam where the small and large pieces were joined together.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">One place to start in Organizing Ourselves is to have a plan or schedule if you will. Life is full of so much to do, and we cannot get it all done in one day. So how do we divide all of these responsibilities, or things that need to get done, in a week.</span><br />

I took this on to help me be a starting point in being more organized with my time. Basically, you break down the week according to the order the earth was created. There is more than one version, and I chose the one represented in a sacred place.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 22px;">When our family has a lot going on, it's good to correlate schedules, so there are few surprises. It's good to have a calendar, where everyone can see it. Each person has a colored pen, family and general gets black. Work schedules, activities, lessons, school happenings, whatever is needed to be kept track of goes on the calendar and by simply seeing the color indicated who the activity was for.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 22px;">I plan my meals by what I have on hand. I get paid my house hold money on Wednesday, and I should have on hand from the shopping all I need for the week. I like the <b>Food Nanny's</b> approach on planning ahead, but I personally cannot do two weeks ahead. She suggest each night having a theme. She also has lots of wonderful recipes (I am a recipe junkie) or you can put in your own to fit.</span></span><br />

Make a list of all you will need to make the planned meals and treats. I also make a list of non-food items needed. "Limit how much you go to the store during the week. If you need to go, be firm with yourself so you stay on budget and don't walk out with more than you went in for.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 22px;">Laundry day is a stay at home most of the day, day for me. That way I sort the laundry, and when each load is done, I am there to get it taken care of. I wash mine and my husbands things, towels, and often Charly's things. My boys do there own. I keep myself busy in between loads, by sewing and mending, or if there is none, make bread and other prep items in my kitchen. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 22px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 22px;">Grate the bar, then mix with the powders. Use 2 Tablespoons for regular load and 1 Tablespoon for light.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 22px;">For my whites I also add Mrs. Stewart's Liquid Bluing. When a little bluing is added to the last rinse water, whites come out looking much whiter. This is due to the sunlight reflecting back from the blue, giving the illusion of whiteness. Bluing is especially helpful to use with homemade laundry soap which lacks the many additives found in commercial products.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 22px;">Here's a recipe to make your own if you would like.</span></span><br />

<br />
I don't know exactly what she is going through, and I hope to get to know her better and maybe find out and be a friend to her.<br />
<br />
But I got to thinking about my response to her. "We've all got to get IT together, it just is different with each one of us.<br />
<br />
We all have things in our lives that effect us. Some more than others. I have seen a lot of people seeming to have IT together. They may be sincerely doing well and some are doing a fantastic act of covering IT up.<br />
<br />
May I give this friend, you and me something to remember, as you work through you life, be "Gentle" with yourself.<br />
<br />
(Even today as I finally get this post completed, I am struggling to have much together. So even as 'scratch' is telling me not to post this, that I'm not good enough, I am going to take a spoonful of my own tonic and be gentle with myself.)<br />
