Okay- I know it has been a while since I posted anything, I
am a slacker a lazy blogger! Actually I am like every other Wife and Mother- who
works- I am so busy – I have a Husband who helps, but it is still a lot to do
right?
So what do a lot of people – Mom’s who have so much to do, make Lameo
New Year’s Resolutions…? Well, this year I made a super dupper non-Lameo New
Year’s resolution, and here it is May and I am steadily working my way thru it
and getting it accomplished!
I Resolved to learn new skills- not lose weight,
stop eating crap or quit something… Learn new skills.
Here are a few of the skills I want to learn on my list:
Make my own Cheese…at least 3 different kinds… Ricotta, cream
cheese and Mozzarella
Make my own Laundry Soap
Make my own Fabric softener
Learn to use my Pressure Canner
Learn to Knit
Learn to use my sewing machine ( I got one second hand in
awesome condition)
Learn to butcher Chickens
Learn to use my Clothes line ALL THE TIME
So far I have learned to crochet- so I am changing the
knitting to crocheting! Knitting was stressing me out and I don’t need any
stress.
I have the instructions to make the Laundry Soap and Fabric
Softener, I got A LOT of it on Freecycle last year and I still have a few
bottles left, once it is gone, I will be making it.
I am going to try the Pressure Canner soon so that I will be
able to can Chicken broth and shredded meat from the Chickens that Brian and
Butchered 3 weeks ago- which I might add was more fun that I want to admit!
I have to get my sewing machine to the local sewing shop for
a tune up, and I have people well, a few buddies lined up to help me out with
it. I have been hoarding patterns getting them at yard sales and thrift stores
for 25 cents a pop.
I haven’t used the dryer except once since I the second week
in March- I consider that a complete win, of course when we have 4 or 5 days of
rain in a row since it got warm, we are hard pressed to not use it…
So – it is May, how are your New Year’s Resolution’s going?
Great readd thankyou
