News from a Yurt in Oregon
• Thursday, November 30, 2006 - Business and Homestead Supplies
My sister and I have been working really hard on our
products and packaging for our small business making Organic Cosmetics and
Glitter Body Products. We our doing a month long holiday market on the weekends
until Christmas. It's hard because of the 5 kids but it isn't so bad to get
away from the house (or rather Yurt ;) for a couple of days a week. It does
make for a busy holiday season though. We also have been working on our website
this week, which is easier to fit around the kids’ schedules.
We got some exciting things around the homestead lately. A friend finished
putting together our Onan generator. We had it mounted on a trailer so that we
can use it in case of a power outage or as a mobile generator. My husband also
got a great deal on a water storage tank. A pipe supply company that he does a
lot of business with had a damaged 1350 gallon water tank out back that they
let him have for about 1/4 of the original price (they had already fixed the
damage that it incurred while it was being unloaded). We already have it
plumbed into our barn gutter and got 400 gallons the first day!
We also got 2 free damaged hot tubs. The first one my husband is going to fix
for us to use. The second one he already found someone to trade for a small
solar system to run 2 light bulbs. We are moving up a small building for our
bedroom off of our Yurt and this will provide the lighting for
the building. Very exciting! Can't wait to get it, I've never really seen a
solar system up close and personal. I also will be pretty happy when my husband
finishes the building so that I can get just a little privacy from the kiddos.

I hope everyone is having a great holiday season and doing lots of baking. I'm
trying to decide what I should bake today! Pumpkin Bread comes to mind,
hhhhmmmm.
