After the petals fell from our cut sunflower, I noticed how beautiful the remaining sunflower still is and wired it to our grapevine wreath. When it dries out, it will become a treat for the chickens.

It's so amazing what nature gives us. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteHi Tonya! You would love to make soap, especially since it is so expensive to buy (these kinds). I do buy Kirk's soap from their website (kirksnatural.com) and with shipping it is not too expensive (about $2 each, and it lasts longer than other store soaps).
ReplyDeleteI love your blog. The pics of your children and sunflowers growing, so pretty. I would have a squirrel on my door if I had a wreath like yours..:)
Sunflowers are neat dried as well as fresh!
the chicken coop is nice!
I like your camping too. Once, I stayed home with a newborn, and my husband took my kids camping at the beach...they took pics and they looked like orphans under his care! love,andrea
Simply beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! We have a few sunflowers this year for the first time. I'll see how they look once the petals fall off. Thanks for the inspiration! By the way, I read your blog every day and love your simple joyful way of life you have chosen to create for your family!
ReplyDeleteSuch a simple ,but beautiful wreath. I love it...thanks for your visit and encouraging comment on my blog post. I am always blessed visiting here with you and your precious family :)
ReplyDeleteWe use our sunflowers as bird feeders, bet you'll have a few visiting your wreath:-) And you won my Subway Art Print! I know you'll love it and with your husband being the woodworker he is I am sure you'll have it framed soon. Send me an email with your address.

That is just beautiful! I have plenty of sunflowers that fit the bill of "no more petals", too. Thank you for the great idea!
