Hello & Welcome!

Cindy150

I’m adjusting my priorities, learning new skills, teaching others, and making almost everything homemade. Hi, my name is Cindy. I live simply. I am an everyday person, I live in a small town, and I’ve figured out how to make do. Join me on my blog as I work through making do with what I have in the workshop, cooking from scratch, making homemade soaps, cleaners, and beauty products, and playing around with the camera.

  • A Thought for Friday

    “I’ve come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that’s as unique as a fingerprint and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe lead you.” –Oprah Winfrey

    Some Very Helpful Gadgets

    Homemade Yogurt in a Crockpot

    DSC09313

    I’ve been making my own yogurt for over a year. It’s so nice to make up a batch once a week that tastes better than store-bought, is cheaper and doesn’t take a special yogurt-maker! It really takes no time on your part, it’s just a waiting process. So if you have other things going onContinue Reading

    Homemade Liquid Soap, The Easy Way

    Homemade Liquid Soap

    What’s the difference between homemade liquid soap and homemade bar soap besides the consistency? The type of lye that’s used in each one. By combining fatty acids and Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), the sodium actually crystallizes to form a hard bar of soap. In liquid soap, the Potassium Hydroxide (KOH, caustic potash) is soluble, leaving itContinue Reading

    Hanging Hot Peppers

    DSC05698

    Three summers ago, I had this brilliant idea of hanging tomato plants. In something pretty, not those white 5 gallon buckets. So I invested in 8 of these prettier hanging pots. They did . not . work for hanging tomatoes. The first year, I let them dry out too much. Some days, they needed wateringContinue Reading

    Redo: Spice Cupboard

    DSC04090

    Anyone have a pantry?  Or a cupboard where all the spices are intermingled with other food?  DISASTER! Capital!!! I reorganized my pantry last week, and the area for my spices always look nice when I do, but it never lasts!  So that means it’s not a good system. I started talking to John about aContinue Reading

    Free Ranging in the Backyard

    DSC06393

    The only downside of having a flock of chickens in town (well, besides the rule against roosters) – is their lack of fresh greenery and bugs. They have cleaned their pen area up quite well. Every day when I go into collect the egg (still just an egg!), they plead with me to go outsideContinue Reading
