Maybe I have too much time on my hands??

I like to make the things I use/eat/share. From scratch. Rather than buy them ready made:
paper
laundry soap
hand soap
scarves
rags from towels
greetings cards
solar oven,
but no candles as yet. Someone may show me how some day - I did in so a candle make in the pre-Christ hippie days, with someone in Ecuador probably.

I make curtains, and have just put up reflective window sheets using the "Survival Blankets" sold in the stores (to wrap around you in the event of an overnight in extreme conditions.) I heard about this 'blanket' at the CPR class I took. They are $2.79, and are like see through-ish tin foil/saran wrap, and can be used for all kinds of things - solar oven for ex. The fabric is very shiny on both sides and reflects well, and is somewhat see-through from the inside. I have to look outside in the evening to see if they are see-through from outside when the light is on. . . . hmmm.You can sort of see the two lying down blue barrels center right and the condenser bottom left. The package is orange and you see the woman wrapped up in it. Apparently all one's body heat is retained inside the wrap, and presumably all the out temp is kept out - either hot or cold. Like a Thermos. Inside out.

Here is the breakfast for kings:



The flower decoration is the first of the multicolored glads. The eggs: farm grown locally, The basil, and greens from the garden and the potatoes from the night previously. I am harvesting my own spuds now. And they are GOOOOOD.

Oh, if you are not growing something outside, you are missing such a profound sight of the Lord and His goodness.
