Thank you, Mark. This one, with calendula petals, is my favourite

My favourite is the calendula flower soap. I grow the flowers. I’ll make more of this one.

#NoBlackFriday at my house. Handmade soaps as gifts. The packaging is whatever I’ve got on hand. Five different soaps, all with no scent, no dyes. Some of my Christmas gifts. The packaging takes me forever but it’s so much nicer than a box I can buy from Amazon.

This is my coconut soap that I did with a mold so it’s got a raised elephant shape. Packaging is going to be a challenge.

I make soap. Today, I’m working on packaging it. This is coconut and calendula flower soap

Good day, friends! Present situation. Iggy is watching the squirrels and birds. No, he's NOT allowed the latte!

Thank you! Took me over 3 yrs but it was done with care, and a lot of thought. I’ve just retired and I am home most of the time so I wanted it perfect. Cafe de Backporcha !

I’ve JUST finished. Total reno of the house, back yard, front yard, added a garage, hot tub and bath house. Veg garden, perennials. I did this. Planned, it, hired it and did a lot myself. The hot tub is in here.

Oh nothing was easy! Lol
Nothing in this 75yr old house is straight. It had been smoked in. The backyard was a literal parking lot. But the lot is huge, it’s a solid little house, oak floors, steel roof. Before and after

How it started:how it’s going.

Ahem
Holds far more than cupboards. Heavy stuff like food processors, le cruset, etc.

Good morning, Hippies! We're at the age where we don't need more STUFF, but still like to acknowledge people over the holidays. I'm making seasoning mixes. I put 2 in a little bag and gift them to the household. My ancho chilli taco seasoning, ready to go.

#Cooking. Making Lodeh, an Indonesian dish, with some tofu added. Once a week or so, I make a big batch of soup, with leftovers for the freezer. I was able to use my own dried chilies in this and lots of #Canadian grown ingredients. The house smells so good!

Good morning!
To my friends in America who celebrate tomorrow, have a wonderful day! #Thanksgiving
P.S..your turkey in the White House HAS to go.

Mike, he says someone else put these tooth holes on the plant!

Hot tub is 103 here.
I have a strapping 23yr old neighbour that shovels me out, a well stocked pantry, and lots of cat food for Iggy, who says he honestly did NOT chew the fake plant.

Outhouse: A place where you spend as little time as possible, is full of asses and a heaping giant pile of shit.

Good morning humans of the Bluesky!
Ontario grown squash, lemon grass from my garden. The squash was 50 cents!
I’m thinking Indonesian for dinner. #Cooking

I get this.Not a pro at anything. I used to fix my own marine diesel engine, and know a load bearing wall when I see one. I can spot ‘not to code’ frequently,too. Friend took me house hunting…I’m knowledgable and really good at use of space. I’m a woman, This guy, I think has a drinking problem.

Drunk? Hungover? Brain Injury? Just incompetent? All of the above? If I bill him for the cord and my rate (I work part time and I'm paid X amt per hour), he'll owe me money. The cost of a new extension cord is $136 Cdn plus tax. HE CUT IT IN HALF.

Iggy helped! LOL

Good morning and Happy #Caturday!
Iggy likes a nice box by the heat vent

Hello friends! Fall has fallen. Blech. Not a fan. More OF a fan of warm summer days and relaxing in the outdoor tub. Ye olde bathouse and some of my garden. Spelling is intentional. There is a BAT HOUSE on the top of it.
