=================================================

Went knitting at Baa Baa this morning.
Had to buy 2 16" needles (size 2 and 5) to knit a hat for a friend.
Ran errands. Prepping to make strawberry-jalapeno jam tomorrow.
Need to pick up herbs and flowers from one gal and
a ceramic chicken dish from another gal.
Had a slice of pizza for supper...stomach hurt!
Can't eat pizza!

and...

Homemade Laundry Soap...Done!

(Now if the lid would just fit!!!)

Oh...and a friend says I need this shirt:

September 9th and 10th...

Sept. 9th..........

Made ears for 1st Bear Cowl, and 1/3 done on 2nd cowl. Got another order for 2 Cream Color Bear Cowls as well...will be working on 6 cowls thus far. 

Selling at $40 each in time for Christmas.

Bear Cowl for 10 yr old is done. I now have 3 adult ones in the same charcoal grey, 2 cream colors, and possibly more.

======================

Went to put the chickens in the coop for the night and Ouiser was already in at the top where they roost. Had to get the other 2 in there. Hoping she can coax them to climb up the ladder as well.

==========================

Sept. 10th.........

Today- (a more relaxed day for me):

1. Pot Roast is in the crock pot for supper. Added frozen green beans, sliced onions and Italian Dressing. 

2. Need to continue crocheting cowls today.

3. Want to make Strawberry-Jalapeno Jam...need to get jalapenos first.

4. Surfing Pinterest...ideas.

Making homemade dishwasher paste x 2. This is the BEST stuff and gets our dishes spotlessly clean and helps the dishwasher smell clean also. I have to shake it, invert it, let it sit, do it again and then blend it in the jars w/ the Bullet Blender blades.

Next up: Homemade Laundry Soap.

Oh...and...The chickens put themselves into the coop and are on their roosts...
all by themselves tonight! Yay!

Love this idea....
