I have been busy as of late. We had to replace our washer and dryer. Dryer went out a few months ago, which was okay. I could hang the clothes outside then just fluff them in the dryer a bit and they were good to go. But then the washer decided to quit on us. Boy trying to find a set now days at a reasonable price is hard. We did get a set finally. Then we got sold a bad bill of goods. They guy sold us a GE set, mind you we love the dryer but the washer was a different story.
It was what they called a low agitator washer and water sensing machine. If you have never had one of these I strongly suggest you DO NOT get one. With out the agitator your clothes do not get washed well, then on top of that the water sensor does not fill up the machine full of water like you would expect. So your clothes don't always get fully wet.
Long story short I complained and after 2 weeks I got a new washer- another GE but with 5 water levels and a regular agitator.
Now I am happy.
But what has kept me so busy is I have been making my jewelry and getting it listed.

So I hope this finds you all well.
I have been reading your blogs just haven't had the time to post myself, but
hopefully I can get back to that now that things have slowed down a bit.
I can't believe school has started already for some. My grand kids start the first week in September.
I showed you a few weeks ago about a birdhouse with a window in the back. So
that you can hang it in front of a window and watch in the back how the birds
make their nests and see the babies hatch.
This is how ours turned out. Only difference is we made the back so you can lift
it up and clean it out. Since birds don't like to come to a place that already has
a nest built.
We used a small 3x4 picture frame, since it already had the glass in it. They
were cheap to pick up at the discount store. We used a super glue type of glue
to hold the glass in place.
Using a 1x6 piece of lumber made it easy to cut and put together. We used the
inside of an old cupboard door as the top. We took the outside frame off and
ended up with the top after we cut it in half. We left them all natural so to
resemble the look and smell of trees. We also hooked them to a double
shepherds hook. That way we didn't have 2 posts in the flower garden.
I also took the mesh bag you get oranges in and filled it with the lint from the
dryer. Then wove strands of yarn in and out of it, then hung it on one of the
trees in our front yard. That way they have things to help build the nests.
I found this and I will have to make one this summer. If not a few for different windows.
I would love to be able to see the birds make their nest and see the babies hatch inside. It would be great for the grand kids to see also.
