Zippy Packing for Travel

December 15, 2018 by Carol Leave a Comment

Some people go light, others want to bring the kitchen sink.  I belong in a 12-step on the latter, but either extreme appreciates fewer bags to carry.  Here's a packing technique that you may want to play with, and it's bailed me out when I've bought more at destination than I really had room to … [Read more...]

Tips for “Secret Codes” on Price Tags

December 7, 2014 by Carol Leave a Comment

If anyone didn't happen to be watching ABC this morning at 4am, that's a low news hour when they often air interesting trivia.  So this morning, one Kyle James was being interviewed for his price shopping tricks obsession (I want to marry someone like him).  I stopped mixing dyes for a gradient yarn … [Read more...]

Fun, Festive and Easy Stained Glass Jello Squares

Fun, Festive and Easy Stained Glass Jello Squares

October 14, 2014 by Carol Leave a Comment

These are always a huge hit.  Ridiculously easy to make, Stained Glass Jello Squares do span two hours to come together, but most of that time is spent with each layer setting up in the fridge while you're doing something else.

Give That Car a Blow Out (not meaning a tire blowout)

April 25, 2014 by Carol Leave a Comment

This is about a really clean car, either following a trip or at anytime.  Having hauled hay in mine (nothing more invasive than hay dust), that was only in addition to the normal bits of straw wrapper tear-offs that get between seats and the sand in impossible crevices that no vacuum attachment can … [Read more...]

The Fiber Revival

April 17, 2014 by Carol Leave a Comment

Short Version:  Knitting is bigtime relaxing.  It's been proven to lower blood pressure.  You see rewarding progress constantly.  You can make things of a quality that you just can't buy in stores anymore, and fer cheap (relatively).  Men are now doing it, sometimes in secret, other times, like big … [Read more...]
