During non-working hours keeping busy with cooking, baking, knitting, gives me great pleasure, and every day I discover more things that make these activities pleasant. I enjoy sharing “things I can’t live without” with all of you, so here are a few more of those things. I would like to hear about the things that help you enjoy daily life around the homestead.
I have discovered Ball jars. My personal favorites are the blue ones. They come in green too, which would be great
for my bread and butter pickles. In
addition, I have recently found that they make plastic caps for Ball jars which
are good for storing but not so good for canning. I have added a few of them to my regular lids
and rings tops. After making jelly,
applesauce and pickles for a while, we have tons of the jars floating around
the kitchen and have started drinking from them as well. They are great to store juice or iced tea,
and a perfect serving size. I have one beside
me now. Note: I also love my silly bottle brush. The face makes me laugh.
How could any of us live without sock
yarn? I am pushing through the last two
rows of ribbing on the bottom of Blanket Sweater and ready to start the sleeves. Winter here I come! Then I plan to start two pairs of socks with
the lovely brown/grey/mauve and green yarn that was a drawing winner from sweet
Kathyb, as well as the shamelessly PINK Lion Brand wool/nylon yarn.
One of my favorite things has saved my plants from the watering demon (me). I always kill my household plants with w-a-a-a-y too much kindness so I started buying the little glass watering globes and putting them in each plant. Voila, instant happy plants. They get just enough water and are thriving. This is the first time I have ever had happy plants. Actually, it’s the first time I have had plants because in the past they would die soon after moving in with me. The person who thought of these little gems should get an award!
Of course, I can’t live without warm,
sleepy puppies. I wish you all warm
puppies and kitties. It doesn’t get any
better!
Life is good.

I just ordered the same pink sock yarn: the colorway I ordered is called Lollipop.
The bottle brush is cute as can be and would make any job more fun.
I gave most of my Mason jars to my nephew. I use the ones I kept for storing leftovers or nuts.
Ive been drinking out of Ball jars for years due to dropping the real drinking glasses. I love them. I love your bottle brush and I don't have one!
So happy you love your sock yarn win!
I can't live without: The clicker. I can imagine channel flipping manually like the old days!
I can't live without: my pampered chef lasagna pan . I love it. It cleans like a dream and bakes wonderfully from lasagna to casseroles.
I can't live without: facials. I get one a month...and I love the treatment and the way it makes my skin look!
oh and I LOVE the pup and the quilt!
Oh I love the bottle brush! That's very happy, but not as wonderful as snuggly, snoozing pups.
I have more sock yarn than I can use unless I speed up the knitting considerably.
Great stuff! I don't know what it is, but I have been totally into pink yarn lately. I don't know if it's my new fall/winter color, ha! I am a huge fan of sock yarn, too.
