My Friday Finds . . .

 

 

A few of the things  I find each week that pique my interest, bring me joy, inspire me to learn, create, do, become . . . Maybe they will do the same for you!   

 

From Hopeful Honey, how to crochet, for those of you who want to learn how.  Complete video tutorials! 

Ten Good to Know uses for Epsom Salts.    I found this on  Creek Line House.  Did you know, for instance, that adding a few bags to the soil before planting can help replenish the magnesium levels in the soil, which have been depleted due to over-farming??  I didn't either! 

From A Beautiful Mess, a DIY Plantable Felt Garden for the kiddos to play with.  Just brilliant!  What a fab idea! 

From Hobby Lobby, DIY Bottle Stoppers.   It's as simple as gluing drawer pulls onto cork stoppered bottles. 

Creatures made from Clothes pins.  Found here.   What fun!  

Homemade Mascarpone Cheese.  I haven't tried it, but I am going to.  Found on Baking Obsession.   Mascarpone is so expensive.   If this works it will be a lot cheaper! 

Simple snowman ornaments.  This is something to do with the grandkids.  They will love it.   Easy and so cute.   From Plaid. 

Fun Holiday Crafts.  Homemade Cinnamon Ornaments.  I have made these before and they smell really nice.  I did gingerbread men and decorated them with puff paints.  They were really cute! 

 

From Lulu the Baker.  Peppermint Oreo Pops.  These would be great neighbor gifts, or for a school or church activity! 

This little wine cork reindeer is so cute!  I love it.  I wonder if I can buy wine corks.  WE don't drink wine so we don't have any.   From  Mom's Menu Planner. 

 

Fourteen Cook Pumpkin Carving Ideas from BHG. 

Be still my heart.   Slow Cooker Pumpkin Butter.   From Mom on a Timeout. It makes two pints. Perfect.

And finally, because I can't help myself . . .  Indian Corn Thanksgiving Favors.   From Shaken Together Life.  

And that's my finds for this week.  I hope you found something here that you can use!  

I had such a busy day yesterday. I had to cook a meal to take to Myrna's family. She is still hanging in there.  It must be so hard for them to cope with it all. I cannot imagine.  I drove to Greenwood to drop it off.  Then I went to the Pet store and got some stuff to treat the kitten's fleas etc. I came back.  Made me some supper.  Then Cindy came over afterwards and helped me to put the flea stuff on. Today I will be vacuuming the house like crazy, etc. Combing the kittens, etc.  Plus I have work to do as well.  There is no rest for the wicked they say!
