Good morning out there in cyber land!  It's time for me to take a moment to update the blog as I haven't had time for days and days!  Did ya miss me?  LOL The weather has been playing some interesting (although NOT FUNNY) games here in NW Montana... We had some lovely 80 degree days a week ago, then the clouds moved in and it was supposed to rain...we just got the cold and clouds [caption id="attachment_158" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Actually quite beautiful when the sky is like this"][/caption] Finally, yesterday we started to get some rain, the deer were loving it! So this is how things looked out my office window yesterday... [caption id="attachment_160" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Deer grazing in the pasture...till the ManCub decided to chase them, little dummy...lol"][/caption] By the time I went to bed last night, it was just pouring down rain and I'm thinking how wonderful it will be for the lawn as The Humorless One spread lawn food out there and refused to water it!  I couldn't wait to get up and see everything so green and lush this morning... [caption id="attachment_164" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Here is the view this morning from my office window!"][/caption] HA...so much for green and lush!  And the sick part is that it's still snowing!  UGH!  The fur kids are soooo depressed...no more chasing bunnies and chipmunks  :( This weekend was rather productive,  I worked on getting my ZenCart customized for my website and made a batch of wonderful shampoo bars!  My DD came up Saturday to spend the day with me and brough me early Mommy's Day pressies!  We drank Oregon Chai Lattes and ate Peanut Butter Cups...WOOO HOOOO!!! I also managed to get another couple feet of binding handsewn onto my queen size Moda Flannel Bear Paw Quilt, I hand quilted it and just LOVE this quilt!

I'm making progress towards the Grand Opening of my online store, on May 1st, it's so exciting (albeit, stressful) to see everything coming together, and I have had so much fun making new bath & body goodies the past few weeks!  The shampoo bars turned out great, the lather is terrific and seems to leave my hair soft and clean without any conditioner at all...I am impressed with is as my hair is difficult on it's best day!  lol

Several new soaps this week, as well, A fresh batch of Oatmeal, Milk & Honey, a delightful batch of Calendula Baby soap, super sudsy and gentle, and my favorite, Honeysuckle which turned out a lovely shade of pink and has loads of lather!  I'm on to more shampoo bars today and to work on getting all the fun products listed on the webstore.

I hope ya'll are having a wonderful day, and that spring is showing it's face to you instead of snow  :)

Love The HomesteadQuilter
