Welcome to the May 19, 2009 edition of the Make It from Scratch carnival. Be sure to submit your favorite posts from the carnival to any social bookmarking sites you use so we can promote each other and the carnival.
Editor’s Pick
Kristia presents When Your Garden Hands you Mint, Make Ice Cream posted at Family Balance Sheet. I’m planning to get an ice cream maker sometime this summer and mint ice cream is in my top five things I want to make with it. After seeing Kristia’s post I can hardly wait.
Cooking
Alexandra presents Homemade Ketchup posted at Happy Hearts At Home. I’m not a ketchup fan myself but someday I might tell you about my ketchup at the root of global warming theory, homemade ketchup would solve my issues with it.
Chief Family Officer presents White Bean Dip posted at Chief Family Officer. Very simple and much cheaper than buying hummus.
Jim presents Frugal and Convenient Breakfast Recipes posted at Blueprint for Financial Prosperity. I usually make and freeze homemade muffins or breads but Jim’s waffles and pancakes are great ideas too.
Liss presents Easiest and Laziest Chocolate Cake on the Planet posted at Frills in the Hills. I’d reduce the cleanup even further by mixing this cake straight in the pan.
Rani presents Mom’s Best Meat Loaf posted at Christ’s Bridge. Rani’s mom’s recipe looks suspiciously similar to my mom’s recipe.
Susanna presents Waste Not: Soup, Schmaltz and Chicken “Chicharron” posted at Cheap Like Me. A great way to make the most of your chicken.
The Austerity Kitchen presents From the Colonial Hearth: Indian Pudding posted at The Austerity Kitchen. Molasses sweetened pudding, right up my alley.
Crafting
Alex presents Printable Birthday Invitations posted at Home Life Weekly. A lot of cute options.
Flea presents Make a “Bucket Light” posted at Be A Survivor. I bet most people could make this completely out of things they already have.
RecycleCindy presents Recycled Plarn Net Market Bag posted at My Recycled Bags.com. I’m not a crocheter myself, however my mother has authored many books on the subject. She’s forever been searching for recycling/crochet ideas so I think I’ll be sending Cindy’s pattern her way.
Gardening
Greenstylemom presents Hummingbirds posted at GreenStyleMom. My cat would love if I set up a hummingbird feeder so she could entertain herself watching it.
Mrs. Accountability presents Finally: A Use For Hay Twine posted at Out of Debt Again. If I did have 25 miles of twine lying around, I’d be using this method for my bougainvillea and peas.
Next Issue
Next week’s carnival will be held at Ginger Won’t Snap. You can submit your post at the Make It from Scratch carnival website.

Thanks for including my bucket light post, and you are right, most people can make it with stuff they have already!
