Liking Instagram & Facebook posts!

When we moved house I though that I would have a lot more time to homestead and blog. That show how long it is since I last moved house and how bad my memory is!

A friend introduced me to Instagram a few years ago and I have an account that I share pictures with friends and family and it dawned on me Why don't I start up a Practical Frogg one so I can keep sharing but on the run rather than big sit down posts?

And so I did. I have got into the habit of sharing on Instagram instead of here of late so if you're so inclined - have a look at my Instagram feed and see if it suits you. If not, the same friend also hooked the account up to facebook and it automatically posts there as well if facebook is more your thing!

Part of my 2019 goals is to get back into posting on this platform as I do enjoy it and things are settling down a bit as the big jobs get done (Install water tanks, make gardens, insulate rooves, cut down massive trees that will fall on the house - you know, that sort of thing!) Time is slowly freeing up to get back into a routine that isn't work and sleep or renovate and sleep!

So if you're looking for a Practical Frogg fix or want to see what weve been up to - have a look at the Practical Frogg Instagram or Facebook page! Just click on a photo and it should take you there!
See you soon!

Killing cockroaches with boric acid v borax!

We live in Queensland. We have cockroaches. Lots of cockroaches! Why the NSW rugby team is called the Cockroaches is a mystery to me - surely ours are not only bigger but more plentiful??? At any rate, I don't like living with them (and I'm quite sure they are not so fond of me at the moment!!) and I have been going through the usual gauntlet of sprays, solutions and bombs to get rid of them... But I'm not so keen on the chemical aspect of all this spraying and bombing. I hate the smell and can almost feel disease and cancer growing in me every time I spray. I'm OK with the resident cockies getting a lungful of chemicals and then keeling over but I feel its impolite (and probably illegal) if my guests and family members do the same thing!!! We went through a faze of killing them by hand (and flyswatter and rolled up newspaper and underfoot) but its hard and frustrating work and it probably was only culling the dumb and slow ones - leaving the smart fast ones to ...

Easy to make fabric covers for milk crates!

Like most households, milk crates appear in and about our house as they are the right size to sit on, strong enough to stand on and the right shape to store things in. They are usually free or picked up for a dollar or two at garage sales or at dump/tip shops. They come in red and blue in our area (depending on weather they are originally from Paul's or Dairy Farmers!) and that simply doesn't go with my outdoor decor - neither does the plastic look but that's another issue. Something had to be done. I decided to cover them with material that fitted in with the rest of our current outdoor setting - A quick look on the Internet for inspiration and confidence and... The finished product being modelled by the cat! Here's what I did... I started with the standard Brissy Blue and Red Milk Crates... Then I bought a sheet and a couple of pillow cases from the local Footprints Op Shop This is less a pattern and more a method to follow - Cut the shee...

Team colours: A cheap way to tell your teams apart!

As some of you may know, I play basketball (albeit badly...) on Tuesday nights. Its a pick up social game at the local PCYC and each week, the teams are made up with whoever turns up. For the last few years there has been a core of about 13-15 of us playing a 5 a-side game. this means there is a sub for those nights its just too hot to run in the Queensland heat, you ate too much dinner before you came or your mobile rings while you are on the court! (We play for fun, not sheep stations!) This year we have had twenty or so players turning up each night. The PCYC is ok to give us two courts and to have 2 games going on at the same time but we discovered that we can't tell who is on whose team as they change each week! We had been given some netball bibs many years ago and so we had enough for one team - thus making us bibs v non-bibs each week. With two games playing now - we need a better solution and so I made up these 'sashes' for us to wear out of old sheets from the o...
