Old Fashioned Soap Balls

Good afternoon, ladies. It is sunny and very pretty today-a little cold but the sun makes up for it. My attention span has been challenged today for some reason. Do any of you feel this has happened to you? I have such good intentions to get something done and before I know it, I am so far way from my plans I can't find my way back!! All it took today was a trip to A Primitive Place craft tip section.

There are several "recipes" listed. Primitive soap balls caught my attention today. I haven't even been looking for this little accessory for my house, but soon caught myself gathering ingredients-a bar of soap, oatmeal, and water. I added cinnamon oil and some ground cinnamon to make them smell a little better. Within just minutes, I had them finished and setting in my bathroom. Way too easy!!!! I can't take credit for making them, so go check out how to do it for yourselves. Have fun!

Over the weekend, I went to a little shop close by and came home with this cool bucket. I think it will look nice on one of our porches this summer.

I also got out the few Easter decorations I have this weekend. I am still in the process of finding just the right spot for them. Hopefully in the next couple of days I will post them. I am also working on one so hope to have that finished.

The only workers we have left around the house are the masons. We have a field stone front porch and much of the outside around the foundation is also field stone. All of it was getting badly cracked so we are having them fix it up. I think they only have a couple of more days. I keep waiting for the scaffolding and people to be out of the way for pictures. Stay tuned....

Well, the kids will soon be home and the "second shift" will start. Better go get back to what I was doing. If only I could remember what that was.......

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful evening.
