We seem to have so many dishes that they take up half the counterspace to dry. But if the dishwasher was always empty, everything could dry in there. Imagine that, using the drying racks as drying racks. Why does this excite me and what does that say about me? ;-)<br />Thanks!Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071261854957363637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382541836368981865.post-42655050811136247762012-02-02T10:37:02.317-07:002012-02-02T10:37:02.317-07:00Nanette, so glad you like it!

Lemonade flavored Kool-aid, the kind with no sugar or artificial sweetener added, is also good for cleaning things (no dye in that one). Remember, Peggy, when we learned that you could dump a packet in the tank of the toilet and it would keep it clean? I bet it is citric acid. And when it's on sale 10 for a $1, that's a pretty cheap cleaner. I might have to try that in the dishwasher!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00023067285682479382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382541836368981865.post-7260553314594989992012-02-02T00:20:12.988-07:002012-02-02T00:20:12.988-07:00Love the candlelight and that stitch!

This is a bushtucker/native food seasoning, and has a lovely pungent peppery flavour. I just read the info blurb with it, says the pepperberries will add purple flecks to moist foods if left to sit a while, so I must try dyeing with it.Nanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473143331781472223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382541836368981865.post-34188599613928466652012-02-01T20:19:16.886-07:002012-02-01T20:19:16.886-07:00yes, the new moosewood-ugh. it took out my favori...yes, the new moosewood-ugh. it took out my favorite recipe- the cranberry apple walnut cake! i have that chinaberry one too, but had forgotten about it, thank you.handstorieshttp://handstories.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382541836368981865.post-33894895977765643202012-02-01T18:10:30.524-07:002012-02-01T18:10:30.524-07:00Deanna, thank you, the runner is from Cost Plus I&...Deanna, thank you, the runner is from Cost Plus I'm embarrassed to say, I wish I could say I made it. <br /><br />Washing dishes.

I bet you could adjust the shape of the pattern from a hexagon to a heart shape, it's so nice to do them in one go. You know? Just follow the same increase/decrease as the heart, using 3 needles. You should!
