This week, I needed to get my house in order! I shared how I used some baking soda and vinegar to scrub my scruffy oven, so if you love a satisfying deep clean, then you'll enjoy that. Also, I am planting some root cuttings I got from my neighbour and sharing my garden plans for the future.
The chair and rug I featured are from DFS and were #gifted to me.

Sewing, DIY, gardening, building…so much talent. Is there anything you won’t take on? Had to smile at ‘were you born in a barn’? 😂 wish I had a tenth of your energy and drive.💗

Never quite understood the reference or that it was an Irish thing.... I was cracking up when you were explaining it - I thought I'm 55 and only now do I understand what my gma was talking about...LOL!!! ♥♥

Me I hardly make anything in the oven as I don't eat meat but that darn oven still gets mucky...However the glass door slides out for cleaning Lord be praised! 😃.

I love how you get right in there and get dirty. Lol. I also use baking soda and vinegar quite a bit. When doing my oven I’ll take the lemons out of the fridge that are ready to go and rub the cut sides on the door. Helps break up the grease and smells amazing! Also you might like a boot scrape by your greenhouse door.

Good morning Sunshine, from Australia. I use this method all the time, but I make a paste of it with lemon, vinegar, baking soda. I rub it all over thickly, then leave it on over night, the next day I just wipe it off and magically it’s clean. Like you I find all kinds of excuses, when walking past it to open it, so yes, I understand where your coming from. Because of this, I find, I do it more often, as I love the smile it brings to my face. I know small things amuse small minds, because of the way the world is today, you need small things to put a smile on your face, or you would go bonkers. You alway make me laugh and leave a smile on my face. Have a great day.

You are so much fun to watch. The vinegar and soda are my choice to clean the oven. You can use that method to clean many things. It is great in the bathroom. I so love your green house. I have always wanted one but we are too old now to get involved in that. I am happy to watch you in your wonderful green house. My grandmother was such an incredible gardener, she would write to people all over the States and trade flowers seeds and starts of plants in the 40’s and 50’s all the time. Some people would say that she could grow anything even on a rock. That was a bit of an exaggeration but she was an incredible gardener. She would have loved watching your videos. Ann from Va. USA 🇺🇸

For the greenhouse: perhaps you can find a "rug" made of recycled plastic. They use it for patios and camping. They are easy to clean, but patterns might be limited. For the entry to the greenhouse: lay some bricks to create a step and put on top of it up a Metal Galvanised Steel Shoe Boot Scraper Door Floor Mat (garden centres and Amazon). You can stamp your feet on it and you get rid of the mud before you step into your greenhouse.

Catherine the oven looks sparkling. When I clean my oven I put the baking soda and vinegar on and let it sit for awhile. Seems to loosen it a bit, and the scrubbing is not so hard. Love the plans for your yard. It is all coming together nicely. Around our house we took out all the plants directly against the foundation. We replaced it about 10 inches with a medium sized river rock. It looks lovely and it is not muddy there anymore. For the pathway we used a much smaller gravel. Best thing we did, no more muddy shoes. A lot easier to keep neat, especially in the fall when all the leaves and debris from the trees are flying about. Cannot wait to see the lovely things you have planned for out there. I enjoy your videos, always something interesting and of course precious Blondie. 🐈🦃🥧🧤🧦👢🥾🧣Getting colder here, looking for snow tonight, here outside of Pittsburgh, Pa.

I rented a turf cutter for the first time in March to cut in a new flowerbed. It was a little big and a little out of control for me, but I did it! And it only took me a few minutes to dig out the grass from a 40 foot long 3 to 5 foot deep flowerbed! That would’ve taken me a few days to do by hand. I’m renting again soon to do my walkways. Worth every penny! My Christmas isn’t up yet either. Last two years I put it up in October. I’m loving my fall vibe I have going on though. Plus I have lots to do around the house and garden before I drag all my Christmas totes out. Thanks for the inspiring video. Sometimes all it takes is to know you’re not alone and someone else out there has to do the same stuff as out there too.💗

I had new oven 5 years ago, before that mine was second hand. I clean the shelves with no problems but there are always bits on the sides and back that won't come off so 3 years ago I decided that I'd treat myself to having a man to come and clean my oven and it's always spotless. He takes so many bits apart that I would be afraid to do including the door and the glass and he doesn't use harsh chemicals. That's my treat to myself.

Turf cutter works well to remove the grass in strips. You can do it. My 65 year old friend did it in her back yard

Girl you are phenomenal.....I look every week and admire your way of cleaning or decorating. But since you remove the hatch completely ,I have never done that and did not think you could , but now I know....Good job and have a nice relaxing weekend.

Catherine, you have inspired me to get off my butt and get some things done. Thank you. I think all you're going to need is the turf remover. Then build the bed up with added soil into a little bank. Then plant your flowers. How about putting down some small gravel in front of the shed and greenhouse and lay some pavers using self-binding polymer sand. it will give you a small patio-like landing outside both of those doors. I have seen what you are capable of and I think you could manage this. In the states we have Aquascape - that sells DIY kits for installing water ponds and pond-less water features. Does Ireland have anything like that? I can't wait to see what you do and how it turns out. I have cleaned many an oven in my life, but didn't know you could remove the door and take it apart to clean. I'm going to research my model and give that a go. My Mom always used to say "were you born in a barn? Close the Door or We're not heating the outdoors! Close the door. Thanks for the memories. I miss my Mom.

I always take the door off the oven. Such a game changer. Now is the time to dig the pond, if you damage some gras in the process, it will recover until spring. An extensible/ telescopic ladder would be great, you can hide it easy and they are more practical.
