Hello RedHeads!
I have been on Hiatis for awhile. But I am slowly getting back to my blogging. Here is an older video I made with the recipe and a technigue for making frybread. It's kind of funny. I will try to make another one soon. Right now the morning sickness is keeping me away from fried foods.
The video is kind of small so email me for the recipe.

Make your own Febreeze
Hello Redheads,
I've been on a little hiatus but I guess with all of the morning sickness and food aversions I deserve a free pass. Since the slightest smells send my stomach for a ride on a ferris wheel I thought that sharing my recipe for making Febreeze might be appropriate.
You will never have to buy another $4 bottle again.
1. If possible use an old Febreeze bottle. If you don't have one then buy an empty spray bottle at the dollar store. You will also need your favorite fabric softener and store brand, cheapo rubbing alcohol.
2. Pour 3tbs fabric softener, 3tbs rubbing alcohol and 3 cups of warm water. Shake very well.
3. Use as you normally would Febreeze.
Try to use the same bottle when you make refills. You don't want to accidentally mix chemicals. Happy spraying!

Ask Red
Hello Red Heads!
The December Ask Red is late but I have a good reason. I'm expecting another baby in the new year! If anyone would like the recipe to the tea I drank to help things along feel free to ask.
Dear Red,
My family just got a dog for Christmas and it is very quickly turning my plain off white carpet into leopard print. Please help.

Dear Spotted in Kansas,
Who gives a pet for Christmas anymore? Did this dog come from an inlaw who was jealous of your carpet color choice? I digress. The solution is simple. White vinegar. Take a paper towel and BLOT the urine or pick up the other stuff. DO NOT RUB. Then pour the vinegar directly over the spot and let it sit. Don't touch it. Don't step on it, nothing. Let it dry on it's own. The stain and the odor will disappear as it dries.
Dear Red,
My oven WILL NOT come clean! My daughters insisted on helping me cook over the Thanksgiving holiday. When I wasn't looking they turned the heat up on the oven. Of course it burned the turkey but the real problem was that the stains in the oven are cooked in now. I've tried everything and nothing is working.

Dear Scrubbed,
Have you tried ammonia? Get yourself a large bowl, preferrably a stained mixing bowl so you can kill two birds with one stone. Fill it halfway with the store bought ammonia. Place it on the oven rack and leave it for a full 24 hours. Be sure the oven is cold and that you don't turn the stove on. The next day take a hot scrubbing sponge and the stains should come off with ease.
Dear Red,
I am addicted to scented candles, especially the ones in the glass jars. But it is getting really expensive to buy. It seems like such a waste to throw away the jars.

Dear Scented,
I know how you feel. Not only do you end up throwing away some nifty jars but also you end up wasting the last little bits of candle wax down at the bottom. Here's what I do. I wash out the old jars and buy a pack of wicks from Joann's. As I burn the candles, I carefully pour out the hot wax into the other jar around the new wick. That way, when one candle is done burning I have another one with a completely new scent. You can also sanitize the jars and use them for candy, cotton balls, notions, q-tips etc.
Dear Red,
I read your old blog from Thoughts.com and you said that you could flat iron and curl a synthetic hair wig. Do you have a video toot on this?

How to Make a Cardboard Mandala
1. Start with your basic pizza box.
2. Use a pizza pan to trace a large circle on the lid. Cut out the circle.
3. Cover the pizza logo with gray paint.
4. Paint over the gray paint with the paint you want to use for your design.
5. Use the sides of the boxes to make the feather shapes or any other shapes you want. Be creative. 
6. Paint the feathers. Leave room on the tips to attach them. 
7. Glue on the feathers and add your finishing touches. Thursday, November 26, 2009
Here's a cute project my cousins and I used to do with the younger family members during Native American Month.
You will need: Scissors, tape or glue, gray paint, various paint colors, brushes, oatmeal or cereal boxes, twigs, the teepee template (email me for it)
Step 1: Cut out and trace the teepee template onto the oatmeal box. Mark the lines and corners. Cut out the teepee.
Step 2: With your gray paint, paint the colored side of the cardboard. The brown side will be the inside of the teepee. You may need to remark your folding points or fold it before painting.
Step 3: Paint your own designs onto the teepee. While it dries hunt down some small twigs if you haven't collected some already.
Step 4: Glue or tape the twigs to inside of the teepee along the fold lines.
Step 5: Bring the teepee together by glueing or taping the rear tabs together. Your teepee is finished!
You can tie a piece of string around he twigs of the teepee and hang it on your Christmas tree to display it past Native American Month.

5. I'll be sure to do that as soon as I get my small pox vaccine.
4. You...sicken...me
3. And you call yourself a liberal
2. Aaw, aren't you a good little Pilgram
1. And a happy holocaust to you too
