"Next morning she got up very early and began a spring cleaning which lasted a fortnight... She swept, and scrubbed, and dusted; and she rubbed up the furniture with beeswax..." ~ Beatrix Potter, The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse {Welcome to another edition of "Fun Friday" this spring with Beatrix Potter!} Dear Mrs. Tittlemouse is quite the cleaner and has quite the repertoire of cleaning recipes! Today she wanted to share a few old fashioned tutorials for making furniture polish. Being she always kept a supply of beeswax in her cottage, this of course was the base for many of her charming "all natural" recipes. As we know her feelings on the subject (she is quite the candid creature), "she is no lab rat" and everything in her home is safe for proper mouse society! "Good-day, Babbitty Bumble; I should be glad to buy some beeswax. But what are you doing down here? Why do you always come in at a window, and say Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz?" Mrs. Tittlemouse began to get cross." ~ Beatrix Potter, The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse Basic "Old Fashioned" Furniture Polish ~ Recipe #1 {recipe can be halved or doubled} 1/2 c. olive oil 2 tbsp. grated beeswax or pastilles (which are much easier to use) 20 drops lemon essential oil* *Mrs. Tittlemouse uses lemon essential oil as the most frugal choice for this project. However, you can also replace it with lavender or woodsy oils such as cedarwood and sandalwood. 1. If you have a double boiler, you may use it to melt together the beeswax and oil. If you don’t, you can make your own by placing a small saucepan filled 1/3 of the way with water on the stove. 2. Pour your olive oil into a heatproof item such as a glass-measuring cup (or a recycled tin food can that you may throw out afterward with no need to clean up -- I gleaned this nifty tip here) and place that inside your “water bath” on the stove. Begin heating the water until it simmers. 3. Add the beeswax into your warmed oil. Let this sit a minute and stir until combined. Once mixture has melted together, remove it from the pan and carefully place it on a potholder to cool slightly. 4. After a few minutes, add the essential oil drops and stir for another minute. The reason for the wait is that if the oil mixture is too hot, the essential oil may evaporate. 5. Pour your polish into a small glass jar or lidded tin. It will firm up in an hour or so. Once completely cooled and hardened, you may label your product and it is ready to use. "Old Fashioned" Furniture Polish ~ Recipe #2 {NOT shown in photos} {recipe can be halved or doubled} 1/2 c. turpentine 1/2 c. grated beeswax or pastilles (which are much easier to use) 20 drops lemon essential oil* 1. Place your beeswax in a small glass jar. 2. Pour 1/2 cup of turpentine over the wax and screw on your lid. 3. Let this mixture sit a few days and give it a few stirs. Let it sit for another three days and stir until it is finally smooth and creamy. 4. Add 20 drops of lemon essential oil and stir again until combined. 5. The polish is now ready to label and use. How to Use: Apply the furniture polishes sparingly using a clean soft cloth (you can make your own soft cloths here). Let it sit for five minutes and then buff down with another clean soft cloth. How Often to Apply: “Once a piece of furniture has been sealed with polish, it need only be reapplied occasionally. The National Trust in England wax polishes the furniture in its stately homes only once or twice a year; the rest of the time , dusting or buffing suffices. According to the experts, polish does not “feed” the wood; rather it applies a protective coating that can build up and actually dull the surface if applied too frequently.” ~ Excerpt from Household Wisdom by Stephanie Donaldson You will find our printable "old fashioned furniture polish" recipe and labels HERE. Perhaps you would like to place it in Mrs. Tittlemouse's "Manual of Household Hints and Delights"? This is simply a safe place you can store all of her homemaking printables to have them handy until you are ready to use them. You will find the free download here if you are interested. The cover page is designed to slide into the front of the binder as a title page insert. The tabs are best printed on card stock, affixed with glue to card stock and staggered as you attach them. It is just a bit of extra fun! We hope you have enjoyed this tutorial by Mrs. Tittlemouse.

"Where there is no revelation [prophetic vision], the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law [of God]."1 Some 350 or more years ago a shipload of travelers landed on a distant land. The first year they established a town site. The next year they elected a town government. The third year the town government planned to build a road five miles westward into the wilderness. In the fourth year the people tried to impeach their town government because they thought it was a waste of public funds to build a road five miles westward into a wilderness. Who needed to go there anyway? Here were people who had the vision to see three thousand miles across an ocean and overcome great hardships to get there. But in just a few years they were not able to see even five miles out of town. They had lost their pioneering vision and certainly had no prophetic vision of what God's plan was for this nation yet to be. With a clear vision of what we can become and achieve in Christ, no ocean of difficulty is too great. As individuals, organizations, churches, and a nation without a vision of what God wants us to be and do we will eventually demise, "for without a vision the people perish." Suggested prayer: "Dear God, please open the eyes of my understanding and give me a vision of what you are doing in the world in which I live and see clearly how I can be a part of your plans. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus' name, amen." 1. Proverbs 29:18 (NKJV). < By Dick Innes

My kids love getting messy with craft, clay, paint and generally being creative. So this term I have been determined to make sure that we complement our Tapestry of Grace studies with more hands on activities. Our study of the Byzantine Empire inspired our art studies and there are so many different art activities one can do. Once we had spent enough time looking at the different aspects of Byzantine art from its architecture to mosaics and brilliant illuminations, I had to decide what we would take on. Mosaics Print a blackline picture drawn in Byzantine style on card stock, enlarge it and stick your tiles to it. Click here for a good source of Byzantine style colouring pages. This idea could easily be adapted to use paper tiles, coloured egg shells or glass tiles. Other ideas for Mosaics: Artists Helping Children is a good site with lots of different mosaic ideas. KinderArt has a cute lesson on bean mosaics. Frescos Ms Julie's Art School has a great post on making a fresco using a blackline drawing. In this post, she is using a drawing from a fresco by Giotto Di Bondone but it is easy enough to substitute with one of the Byzantine colouring pages provided in the link above. Illuminations This is the project that we picked in the end and I was very pleased with it. This site is fabulous for teaching your kids about manuscripts and illuminations. They have a slide show which shows a number of different illuminations and asks questions which allow the kids to explore each manuscript more closely and then it gives you more information about the manuscript you are observing. There is another resource that shows you how manuscripts were made, the different roles and the whole process. They also provide templates for you to make your own manuscript illuminations. Creating a whole manuscript page would have taken more time than we had, so I decided that they should create their own illuminated letter which was a smaller more manageable project. I found this fantastic PDF lesson on the Art Of Creating Illuminated Letters which I used as the basis of my instruction. Then I used a free download from Prose and Letters which distilled in one page the essence of how to draw a medieval border. We then surfed online to look at different types of letter fonts and calligraphy to help them decide how they wanted to draw their letter. We used felt tip pens, coloured pencils and various metallic pens to get the right effect. I was pleased with the end result. Other Illumination resources: This Crayon Resist Illumination lesson would be suitable to use with older children. This Lesson from the Utah Museum of Fine Arts is full of useful information.
