just a simple day.

Today’s accomplishment – homemade laundry soap! I used baking soda, Borax, soap flakes and lemon essential oil. Steve’s so excited to try it. We’ve been buying off brands at the Dollar Tree that left the clothes stinking even after they were washed. I don’t think that’s gonna be an issue anymore! I’m going to look at borax uses too because I think this cleaner is going to end up being multi-purpose! Yipee!

Steve asked me if i’d use the freeze-dried wheat we are getting and make bread. He was complimenting my bread. I KNOW what’s going on, but doggone, I didn’t expect it so fast!

I found $3 in the pocket of my coat from the back of the closet and bought a can of tuna, a small onion, and a plain yougurt. I’m pulling out my yogurt maker after dinner!

I went through my yarn and found enough to make a blanket for Geoffrey to replace an old quilt that has fallen apart that he has loved to unsalvagable threads. lol Drama is needed to convince him he has to accept a new blanket! He’ll like camoflage and olive 🙂

He just came inside and asked me if I wanted to see something pretty. So I followed him outside and watched as he laid on on the deck chair with his head where his feet should go and his feet up in the air. He was gazing at the tree branches and looking at their layers against a perfectly blue sky. He told me i have to look from his perspective so i can see what he was seeing. I laid down on the chair and couldn’t get up! We both busted out laughing as i rolled off the chair. I told him he was right. It was pretty, and i was funny. lol I adore my boy. He always surprises me.

About Morning Knits

I believe in and practice positive living. I love YARN, cooking, music, bird watching, herbs, and gardening. I am passionate about YHWH the Elohim of all the earth. I believe it's our responsibility to tend that earth. I basically do my thing in a quiet, amused way. I believe in laughter, and the power of combined prayer. I am a true homebody. I have 6 kids, all home-born and successfully breastfed. They are all grown. I'm the oldest of 9, daughter of a missionary mother who lives in Kenya, and I have a spoiled service dog and 2 rescued cats. Right now, there is balance after yrs of unemployment. My disability was approved due to degenerative discs, fibromyalgia, and obesity. That last is hard to say. I believe we owe it to ourselves to protect our mental health. It's precious and the one thing we can control. I would rather not do my own housework and I talk too much. I bought a house in North Carolina which I ended up leaving for my husband to sell. I'm a two-time caregiver. My husband and I are separated due to stroke complications and personality difficulties. I am in Texas now. The one place on earth I said I'd never go unless Yah moved me there and HERE I AM! G and I are sharing a small apartment and so far, things are going well.

    Wonderful! I love making homemade laundry soap and my goodness, it’s not only fresh and natural, it’s pennies per load. Have you started the process of listing your house for sale?
    I really liked your idea of selling, then buying some land with a mobile home where you can grow and do whatever you want, without the interference of neighbors.

  2. I’m working on packing stuff Kathy and we’re going to have a yard sell. Hubby will do nothing till the last moment I’m sure. It’s how he is. i will do my best to push him for this to happen. Cross your fingers for me.
