This week was great for frugality! On Wednesday a huge snow storm came through and knocked off the power. Thankfully it didn't last too long though. I had plenty of time to spend indoors doing frugal things.
1. Sold two books on Amazon.
2. Made pinwheel danishes from scratch for a group thing we went to. They were SUPER yummy, and only cost about $3.00 for a batch of two dozen.

3. Made lice treatment for my goats with olive oil and tea tree oil. So far it seems to be helping. And no, goat lice is NOT transferable to humans. :)
4. Gave Hubs a haircut.
5. Did farm chores for a neighbor, and in return they gave us some sausage. Yum!
6. Sold nine dozen eggs. Last week one of my goals was to list my chicken eggs on Craigslist, but before I did that I put a post out to my Facebook friends. Whoa! I sold almost ALL of the eggs I had, found at least two weekly customers and a bi-weekly customer.
7. Finished up the apron I've been working on! It was quite an adventure working with a 70-year-old pattern, which will be a post in itself, most likely.
8. Mended a shirt for Hubs.
9. Started basil seeds. Because I've started SO many seeds, it's hard to keep track of when I planted them. This makes it hard to know when the things should sprout. From now on I'm not only going to write the name of the seed and date I planted it, but also the estimated date(s) of germination. This will make things much less confusing for me.

To follow up from last week, both of my amaryllis "patients" are doing great. The leaves are straightening out and they are becoming a lot greener from the sunlight.
 Before: Last Monday |  After: This Monday |
I've also noticed new growth on my avocado and lime trees, and have sprouted two new exotic seeds. One is a Tomarillo, or tree tomato, I believe. The other is one of six seeds that I found in my backpack, from who knows where. I think it is some kind of mimosa, because the leaves fold up at night.
Goals for Next Week:
1. Start new apron.
2. Make one batch of soap.
3. Organize sewing room.
Looking forward to another week of frugality!
