This is our story of creating our own backyard homestead. Gardening, preserving food, raising goats and chickens for meat, milk and eggs, soap-making, and anything else we can figure out how to do for ourselves.
Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before. Then people who are not Christians will respect the way you live, and you will not need to depend on others. First Thessalonians 4:11-12 (NLT)

Laundry Soap
I made a batch of laundry soap today. I decided to do a powdered batch this time. I grated 2 bars Ivory soap, mixed in 2 cups borax and 2 cups washing soda. The instructions say use 1 tablespoon for each full load. It went a whole lot facter than making the liquid soap, and I no longer need that large 5 gallon bucket sitting in my way in the laundry room. It will be interesting to see how well this works.

Another Apron
I made another apron today. This one is for Mom. I didn't have a pattern for what I wanted, so I just winged it. It turned out nice.
