Ant Pests!

I just got rid of another colony!!! Wow that borax and sugar got em again! I mix 1/4 cup of borax soap, 1/4 cup of white sugar and 1/4 cup of hot water and make a paste....Glob it on some business cards around the area they are traveling and Wa-La...gone until the next colony appears! I put the "potion" around my plants outside as well, the ants are very numerous this year! Good Luck with yours! Trudy

Get rid of ANTS! Naturally

Exterminate Naturally! I just use the same amount of sugar, borax soap and 2x water and stir to get RID of them! There are so many around us this year and I am STILL getting rid of these pesty creatures. In the house and out....I just put the "Potion" on a business card or piece of cardboard in the direct line of the bugs and pretty soon you will see a line of ants around the "pond" that you make on the card. It is pretty awesome...They will take the potion to the queen and all of them will DIE! You might have to do it all over again when you see another colony, but it really does work. Trudy

Summer and plant stakes

It's here.....summer and heat and humidity! I don't mind it in the morning but the afternoon is brutal!! I am thankful for a/c!! The girls are getting together today to start up again and design some more plant stakes. I have been giving the ones we made already to my sisters for their birthday! They love em, so we are making more...will show a pic when we get some made! Trudy

Garage Sale

I don't know if any of you out there are garage sale people, but, we had one and if you do not advertize, you do not get people!! DAH! Oh well, we had fun meeting a few really nice people anyway and did get rid of some junk. It's great to know you have a clean organized attic that you can appreciate when you go into it the next time and try to FIND something! Trudy

Tiffany Style Window

This week my daughter Jacqui, decided she wanted the Tiffany Style Stained Glass window in her open hallway upstairs! We have done one already for a customer, so it wasn't going to be hard making a new pattern, cutting, etc. We got started right away after she purchased the glass. It's going well! I will update in a few days! Trudy
