Homemade cleaning products?

Ok, so I am in awe over the people of today making homemade cleaning products. I never thought of this and I think it is an amazing idea! One that stuck out to me is for laundry detergent. Making it at home can actually cut the cost of detergent from 30 cents a load to 1 cent...yes 1 single penny! Amazing right? So I htought I would share a recipe I found. One for liquid (gel-like) and one for poweder. Enjoy! and keep a look out for more that I find. ~Amazing~

The above actuallyhas a recipe for both kinds...and more! Hope you find this experiance enjoyable. I will be making some when I run out...unfortunately this past weekend I bought a 180 load box of Gain from Sams Club...I'm hoping to get rid of it quickly to try this!

Hey everyone! Well, here is another great week starting out!
BOOO on those Steelers winning though. hehe, not really they are great. Just not my team :).
No crafting time lately between work and getting ready for school. I go back to school wednesday. I am so ready to because well...I love school *big goofy grin*.

But anyways this is just an update. I will see what happens later...

Out of power!

Oh gosh it looks as if my last post messed up. Just stopping in to update everyone. my power was out for 3 days because of an ice storm and i wasn't able to get on. sorry for the incovenice!

Lalalalalalala! I missed youuuuu!

Oh my, my lovely ladies and gents how I have missed you! I can not stress enough how crazy life has been lately! Christmas and New years and soon valentines day and college starting back. It is just a huge blur and I feel as if it will stay that way for a while. I feel so bad to have abandoned everyone and my tutorials are dead, but soon I hope to resurrect everything and get life back on track.
Today my Etsy will be updated and I invite you to check it out. It will be great and I have so many goodies to unveil to ya'll. In case you don't know my store name it is Shortdrawbryant designs, just like the blog! Easy, eh?
I ask for prayers for my godmother Kari, and my dear friend Hailey who were in a car wreck on Monday and are still recovering. They are going to a different doctor today for their attorney. They are having to sue the person who hit them for medical bills and I pray that everything gets corrected. They have a great lawyer, Cory B, Trotz, so I have faith that everything will turn out alright.
Ok! About the crafting! Starting Monday I am going to try a picture a day to try and keep this updated and keep this blog update. SO STAY ON MY BACK! I mean it, I need someone telling me to keep going. LOL.
Well, off to find some batteries so I can finish taking pictures of my Etsy stuff.
Loves till Laters!

First Day of December!

I love that it is the first day of December! I love this time of year. There are lots of birthdays to attend and of course, Christmas! And who doesn't love Christmas? I know I love it. Here, in our house, we just put up our tree yesterday. I am still adding ornaments to it though as I am making a lot of them. I am keeping it simple this year.

Computer class and 45 minutes.

Hi crafters! This is Nichole reporting from BAC 45 at Union University! I am currently in computer class and it's not much fun.
I am going to spend this weekend sewing and making a baby girl card. A dear friend of mine just had a granddaughter born today. How exciting is that?!? I will take pictures of the card I make and post, after all it isn't everyday I get to make a baby card. I just LOVE babies! *could be why I'm in college for early childhood teaching...*
Recently, my great love for sewing has reawakened, so don't be too surprised to see my sewing wonders on here. Currently I am working on a camo dress for this Spring. Then on to work on about 20 pajama pants! I am making PJ pants for everyone for Christmas! Luckily PJ'd aren't hard to make or very time consuming!!! LOL.
Well, I'm heading off!
Luvs till Laters!
