Seeing them all was wonderful. The extra bonus was our newest grandson going from furniture-surfing to walking in less than 24 hours after their arrival! Franken-Baby! Arms in the air, and off he went. Luckily, I had enough gates to keep him from getting into too much trouble. He did take a good fall, whacking his forehead, resulting in a "lovely" goose-egg and bruise.


I may of mentioned I was knitting a onsie pattern I found in one of the knitting magazines. I finished in time for their arrival. It is a bit large at 24 months-size, but he will get some use out of it. I used "Terra" by SWTC, a half-and-half blend of bamboo and cotton. It was washed and dried twice and held up nicely.

I had the kid's potions all done and labeled, ready for them to take home. I ended up making a hair detangler spray for the women from-
I used the jojoba oil option, not the olive oil. I also added an equal amount of horsetail (or shavegrass) when simmering the marshmallow root to allow the mucilage to release. Horsetail is nature's silica, a better version than most hair conditioners. My daughter and her step-daughter have hair on the dry side and tends to frizz and misbehave. The teen loved it. My daughter did not try it yet. I used it in the shower. I washed my hair with a shampoo bar, then sprayed on some of the detangler, combed it through and finished washing up before rinsing it out. It worked nicely. I am going to reformulate it more for my oily hair. I did not get oily hair from using it, yet I want to change the oil and such and test it. I also worked out a shampoo bar recipe I need to make and test. Using the HP (hot-process) method gives you a soap you can test a small bit of while the rest of the bars cure for their allotted time. I will post when I get it made.
My garden is growing quite nicely. I will take and post some photos on my Black Thumb of Death Gardening blog here soon.
I have a project in the works and will post photos of that as it progresses. It is a project that will span the next couple of months. Himself got me knee pads to help me from hurting myself too much. What is it? Not until I have something to photograph will I tell... laughing...
It is way after the Witching hour, so I will end with my grandson's new trick. (snicker) When his first girlfriend comes to meet his family, this will be the first photo she will see. bwhahahahahaha...
