As the couple walked down the isle guests showered them with bio-degradable confetti. It was awesome because you don't have to clean it up and it's gone when it rains.
Make your own laundry soap, and save money, resources, and time suffering from allergies.
One recipe yields 180 loads in a top loader, and 640 loads in a front loader for only a few bucks.
Ingredients & supplies:
- Either a 4oz bar of soap (melted), or 4oz of Dr. Bronner's liquid castille (don't pick something heavily-scented).
- 1 c. Washing Soda
- 1/2c. Borax
- Lots of hot tap water.
- 5 gallon bucket.
- Empty old laundry detergent bottle.
- Some sort of scooper, equivalent to either 5/8c. (for a top loader) or 1/4c. (front loader).
Fill 5 gallon bucket half full of hot top water. Add melted bar of soap or liquid castille, borax, and washing soda slowly, stirring the entire time. Fill to top with more hot tap water, and let sit overnight.
The next day, fill up your old laundry detergent bottle half with the mixture, and half with water. Shake before use.

These can be used as puppet or pencil toppers...depending on a child's mood. Each one is made using 100% wool felt. All the stitching is done by hand using the blanket-stitch or straight stitch (for facial features and center of flowers). Each puppet/pencil topper has a piece of antique lace around her middle.

Glass sex toys are in desperate need of a come back in terms of popularity. We don't sell nearly as many as we used to, and that is disappointing to me. I am sure that the reason is that there are so many different ways to get off now. A prime example is that vibration is...

Late afternoon sun highlights the wind turbines high up on Ovenden Moor above Halifax, West Yorkshire.
Standing at almost 50m tall (to the tip of the blade) and arranged in a 'V' formation to make the most of the prevailing south westerly wind the turbines generate enough electricity to meet the average domestic needs of over 5000 homes.
Another day, another takeaway.
But, takeaways are special when you get them from the delicious food stalls of the Queen Victoria Market.
I went armed with several takeaway boxes to hold the lamb kebab, fresh salad and cacik (tzatziki) garlic sauce, and was rewarded with a "you're smart" from the lady behind the counter :)
It turned out to be a huge plate of lamb and salad! A definite bargain for AUD6!

Either it is an accident or beyond its age, our carefully handled favourite car gets old, damaged, rusty, abandoned or impounded and becomes unwanted. It then finds temporary shelter in a junkyard. A junkyard is also known as a car wrecker, a place where damaged or old vehicles are broken up and recycled to obtain useable parts and scrap metal.
Junkyards make a significant contribution to the economy. It is estimated that the vehicle attrition rate in Australia is 4.1% which is approximately 700,000 vehicles a year and produces 980,000 tonnes of waste each year. Thus, it requires a significant amount of workforce involvement to safely dispose of these vehicles as well as sustain the growth of this industry.
Imlachs Self Serve Auto Parts, a junkyard in Springvale, Victoria is a busy place full of activity throughout the day. People come here to sell their unwanted cars as scrap metal or collect recyclable parts from the damaged vehicles. There are 3 multi-dismantling machines, 2 forklifts, 6 trucks and 4 automotive lifts in operation with 36 shift workers to operate and run the business.
The Junkyard offers an environmentally friendly place to dispose of unused and unwanted vehicles. These unwanted cars contain toxic battery acids, toxic chemicals, engine oils and other fluids which can cause long term damage to soils, water and air quality. To minimise the environmental impacts, the most environmentally friendly way is to dispose of them in a junkyard with authorized operators.

I managed to get the girls behind the counter to fill up my bowl with pasta. They had to check with the boss-lady first ;)
I'm sure putting the bowl in the dishwasher costs less resources than having to produce a tinfoil or plastic container...
Too bad the pasta didn't satisfy my cravings for a good carbonara!

Company drinks at the 100 Mile Cafe. Nice venue with lots of natural materials in the dining area. Because it was a rather cold day, I had a hot chocolate. Every one else was complaining about the rather ordinary boutique beers that have been sourced from within 100 miles of the shop. Apparently later in the evening, they started serving beers flavoured with coriander! That was just a bit weird.
At least it's local food-philosophy is more or less sound, as it the water-saving hand-basins that are de-rigour in Japan.
The sign over the urinals says:
Water - it takes
- 41,500 litres to produce a kilo of meat
- 500 litres to produce one orange
- 1,340,000 litres to produce 1 tonne of aluminium
- 50 litres to produce a copy of Saturday's newspaper
- about 5000 litres to of water to create one kilogram of rice
- 4 litres to produce a bottle of berr
One was, one flush, half the water

This card is part of a series of ATCs/ACEOs that feature one letter of the alphabet needlefelted onto a contrasting color of wool.
The card is the standard size (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") and is made with 100% sheep wool. The letter and background are both needlefelted with a single barbed needle onto a white wool base.
This card (and the alphabet series) came about because both of my daughters are learning their alphabet and starting to read and write. Both are hands-on, visual learners. They are using the cards to put the letters in alphabetical order, group vowels/consonants, and spell words.
I use a rather eclectic approach for homeschooling, and like aspects of both the Waldorf and Montessori philosophies.
This combines the Waldorf aspect in that the item is made from all-natural, beautiful materials.
It is a modification of the Montessori aspect in that rather than working with wooden shapes of letters as a child learns her/his alphabet, reads, and spells, the child works with the image in wool.
For families/teachers/home educators, please see my profile for more information..
For those who enjoy trading ATCs, if you are interested in trading one of your cards for this needlefelted one, please comment below or email me.

Olau Koa means a very strong wind, strong enough to blow the leaves off the Koa tree.
These turbines are in the Kaheawa pastures, the word Kaheawa discribes the wind pattern typically found in the area.
The reflections off the window of the helicopter bother me, but I really like this shot anyway.
