<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Well, over the next few months, both blogs will be combined into one, shiney, sparkly fantastic NEW blog, which will sit on the <a href="http://www.peculiarambitions.com/" target="_blank">PeculiarAmbitions.com</a> site.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This blog will not only be my voice (Reenie), but all of us, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
reflecting our crazy, farmy, artsy, family-filled lives. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.reeniehanlin.com/" target="_blank">ReenieHanlin.com</a> will remain as is, as my blog archives (since 2007!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So... keep an eye out for these changes to take effect. They are still very much in the planning stages.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I then placed the live sleeve stitches onto don and knit the additional length in the round. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: -webkit-auto;">I extended the sleeve length by 1.5 inches, decreasing evenly at the bottom of the sleeve, (from 34 sleeve stitches to 28, approx. 1 dec. every other row) then knit a k1p1 ribbed cuff for another 2 inches. This cuff can be rolled back when Kai is smaller. Total sleeve length is 8 inches from armpit to cuff edge.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So many"natural" products are beyond pricey. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It gets ridiculous really.... so I started with the things that I use every day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Like laundry detergent.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://whynotsew.blogspot.com/2010/08/how-to-make-homemade-laundry-detergent.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I found this recipe on the Why Not Sew? blog... (click for link)</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It uses very few ingredients and took very little time to make.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I did not take photos of the process, since WhyNotSew did such a spectacular job of it.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My notes are in hot pink~</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ingredients:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 bar soap (<span style="color: magenta;">Kirk's CocoCastile</span>)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 cup Borax</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 cup Arm & Hammer washing soap (not baking soda)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">a big pot (that will hold more than 2 gallons)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">a grater (<span style="color: magenta;">I use my food processor</span>)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">a long spoon</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">a bucket to store detergent in (<span style="color: magenta;">I use a 2 gallon bucket</span>)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1. Grate the bar of soap. (<span style="color: magenta;">I used my food processor because I am impatient... it took 30 seconds to grate and the soap rinses off easily</span>)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2. Add 1 gallon hot water to the pot and add the grated soap. Heat until soap has dissolved.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">I used Kirk's CocoCastile as my bar soap, only because I hate frangranced detergents</span><span style="background-color: white;">... you can add essential oils too for smell, instead of using frangranced soap.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3. Add the Borax and the Washing soap.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4. Bring to a boil. It will coagulate. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: magenta;">It will also cook over really fast and make a huge mess. Beware.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5. Turn off the heat. Add 1 gallon of cold water. Stir. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">6. Let sit until it cools. If it hasn't coagulated yet, no worries. It will. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">7. Once it is cool transfer it to the bucket. <span style="color: magenta;">Great tip on WhyNotSew was to store it in the pot you cook it in. Eliminates the messy transfer step. I already added a pot to my thrift shopping list...</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Right now I store my detergent</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> in a 2 gallon bucket and scoop out with a measuring cup. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It is a thick, snotty consistency and I did not want to thin it out to make it pour, because that would mess up my measurement calculations.</span></span><br />
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I use a 1/2 cup and put it in my front loader dispenser into the powder dispenser. It did not flush out when I put it in the liguid detergent thingy. (thingy is a technical term...haha)</span></div>

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Previously I used the Ecos brand laundry detergent</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> from Costco, which costs around $12 for a 210 oz. jug. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I used 1/3 cup per load, which came to </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: magenta;">30 cents per load</span><span style="color: #222222;">!</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">(I have no idea where they get their calculation on the HE amounts! The Ecos bottle says you can get 100 some loads??!!, but that did not work at all for me. Maybe if you washed 3 towels per load, haha).</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<b><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After breaking down the math on this recipe, a 1/2 cup per load comes to </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4 cents a load! 1/3 cup comes to 2.6 cents!!</span></b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, on average we do 2-3 loads a day. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Ecos brand cost comes to 60-90 cents a day, $18-$27 a month and $216- $324 a year.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This recipe costs 8-12 cents a day, $2.40- $3.60 a month and $28.80- $43.20 a year.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">BIG SAVINGS, and more than enough to make it worth the time to cook this up.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have been using this recipe for about 3 weeks now, and so far have noticed NO difference in the cleanliness of the laundry. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My clothing no longer has a faint old lady perfumy smell and the Borax makes the whites brighter (I do not use bleach in my l laundry, it is bad for the septic).</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I use white vinegar for the fabric softener and if it is a stinky load I put vinegar in the bleach dispenser also with a cup of baking soda inside the washer.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The bleach dispenser goes into the wash load, the fabric softener goes into the rinse.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The baking soda also keeps my front loader from smelling mildewy, something I reallllllyyyy noticed after getting a front loader. It does not seem to empty the water competely out after a load, and here in the PNW it is always a bit damp. Even leaving the door open when not in use did not help. The baking soda/vinegar in an occasional wash load did take them mildew smell away.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">

I recently saw a version of this on the internet,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it was profound but a bit crass (and not kid-appropriate, so I did not link it here),</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I made my own version... </div>

This cuff can be rolled back when Isiah is smaller. Total sleeve length is 8 inches from armpit to cuff edge.</span><br />

I then placed the live sleeve stitches onto dpn and knit the additional length in the round. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I extended the sleeve length by 1.5 inches, decreasing evenly at the bottom of the sleeve, (from 34 sleeve stitches to 28, approx. 1 dec. every other row) then knit a k1p1 ribbed cuff for another 2 inches. This cuff can be rolled back for when Jackson is smaller. </div>

Total sleeve length is 8 inches from armpit to cuff edge.</div>

Love this...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My mom just repainted her patio furniture, and the colors are phenomenal!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She sent me photos this morning and I just had to share with you. Mom lives in PA, and I am in WA, so I will not be sitting in these chairs this summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most of these items are heirloom pieces!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

We have a window in our kitchen that needs replaced. It is functional, but u.g.l.y.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since we are still deciding the design of the kitchen (before remodeling), this window is in ugly limbo land, hanging there and irritating me daily. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is west facing, so in the evening, the sun blinds us during our evening meal. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My solution? A tacky, kitschy curtain.... to hide the window, and block the sun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The floral fabric is from a thrifted, vintage twin fitted sheet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bird fabric was about a foot short of the needed length, so I decided to add a panel at the top. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It extended my length and added some whimsey (whimsey is a classier word for tacky. grin)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The panels are minimally sewed and hemmed so I can repurpose the fabric in the future if I choose.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The ring clips eliminate the need for a rod pocket and make the curtain easier to open and close.</div>

It's been a chilly June so far... highest so far was 70 something, and I still had jeans and a sweater on.</div>

I have been taking time each morning for myself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the couch, with my knitting... and my magic journals. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dreaming and Thinking and Planning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's a powerful thing, what comes from taking this time for myself. It's not just about making things happen, it also calms me (I am <i>not</i> known for my calmness, haha), and stills the voices in my head.</div>

We have been working on our Vision and Mission for our farm. Trying to focus on a few of the kajillion ideas we have. Figuring out a plan of action. It's overwhelming at times, hard to see the end anywhere in site. It's good to keep the big picture in mind, and focus on WHY we are doing this.</div>

It's been a month of no-knitting for me. Not sure why, just been running around a lot and basking in the sunshine I suppose...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This morning I snapped back into it though, after an epiphany of sorts with the current baby sweater I have on my needles, (no details, for baby gifties!)... all BOYS too.<br />
Someone needs to make a girl baby so I can knit some frilly stuff!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can, however, show you the yarn I am using.<br />
Yummy, and perfect for a dirt-ball boy. The goal is to make the sweaters fit from infant to toddlerhood,<br />
and these are earthy-farmer babies, so they will be <u>in.the.dirt. </u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #4f4f4f; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
The first sweater is being made from <a href="http://www.missbabs.com/store.php?cat=64" style="color: #ce2596; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Miss Babs Yowza</a> in <i>Black Walnut</i>.</div>

Miss Babs is a color-fairy genius. <a href="http://www.missbabs.com/store.php?cat=64" style="color: #ce2596; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Go buy some from her. </a> </div>
<div style="color: #4f4f4f; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
It's yummy, and washable, and the skeins are huge... and her colorways? drool.</div>

This is beyond cute too... and sort of similar. </div>

I like the idea of skinny arms and legs for teething babies.</div>

LOVE this idea. I could go off in all sorts of directions with this pattern.</div>
