About Me:
I love gardening, making soap and beeswax candles...I've been researching on the web for directions on how to make my own laundry soap...I've been looking at ways to lessen our impact on the environment by useing all natural things...like mixing sugar and borax to kill ants and useing vinigar to kill weeds....I make my own bread and my own butter...Since retiring a year and a half ago I more time to do all these things...I give a lot of soap to my reletives and friends but am thinking I may start selling it.....Hope I didn't jump around to much here but I was writing as fast as it was coming to me.....
Favorite area of home improvement:
I bought a fixer upper a few years ago and I can't say which area is my favorite area...I've enjoyed every project I've taken on...It has taken years but I've chosen my own style...I retired a year and a half ago so I've had more time to do all of the things I love...I forgot to mention in the about me section that I also love thrist stores and funky antique stores....Some of my decorating has come from there...I have a shed full of upcoming projects...hehehe...The next furniture project I plan to do is a sewing cabinet my neighbor gave me...I took the sewing machine off and disposed of it....It is the cabinet that I like...I plan to refinish it and just use it for a cabinet...I have so much to keep me busy...I could have kept working if I wanted and people were saying you will get tired and just sitting around....Fat chance!!! I have enough interests and projects to keep me busy for the rest of my life which I hope is a long one!!!!

plants, I have a bunch of English ivy to give away. I also have day lilies to be thinned out that I can give away. And some hostas - solid green, not variegated.
