Spicing Up The Kitchen
I add a bit of salt, pepper and olive oil to almost every dinner meal I prepare. Recently my salt shaker met a disastrous end when it was dropped on the tiled kitchen floor. Instead of going out and buying a new set I looked around for something I already had on hand. I spied these children’s berry bowls tucked up in a closet.

Strawberry Fields Forever Craft
In last month's Country Living I saw some darling strawberry sachets. It brought back a sweet memory of my grandmother who had a similarly styled pincushion. So I decided to give a berry good try in making one myself. Here is the Strawberry Fields Forever Craft. Strawberry Fields Forever Craft I did not like my first prototype AT ALL! The Country Living sachet had two unhemmed stars masquerading as leaves. I found that since I hadn’t used fray check (a liquid applied to the fabric to stop ... View the Post
