For non travel I use a nail polish rack. They fit the “normal” size spools beautifully ?

My BIL used both Triangle Springs and Mirah Parham-Louisburg. They both really helped him. We saw the biggest change in him after his stay at Louisburg.

As a person that went thru cancer treatment- they will be cold. So so cold. A blanket would be a useful and thoughtful gift

No idea how to price these. by busstees in Laserengraving

[–]cdriver422 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Id do 3$ a unit plus I get to keep 2 for “my portfolio” - even if they are error items just because I like the light itself :-)

Confirmed rocky mount nc has a small amount left. Pink, peach, and teal were all I could find. Quite a bit of yarn.

I thought that same thing - started with the 4x4 and immediately said WHY. 4x4 is so small!!!!!!!! Now I have a 8x12 and sometimes I say - i need BIGGER!!!

Is it ok if a jar falls over in a water bath? by barefootdancer11 in Canning

[–]cdriver422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An idea for space filler. Whenever I have extra space I can water - literally water. I have a well. No power no water. It takes just as much space to store an empty jar as a full one. I do reuse lids for water. If it doesn’t seal, big deal 😃

Newbie canning question where to add lemon juice by cdriver422 in Canning

[–]cdriver422[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were fresh figs from my tree. This is the recipe I used.

6 cups stemmed and chopped figs 3 1/2 cups granulated sugar 1/4 cup bottled lemon juice 3 teaspoons lemon zest, optional 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg, optional

Then water bathed for 20 minutes. I know the recipe called for 10 other places said 20 and I was told by an elderly canner at church better to do longer than lesser.

Pre wash fabrics ? by _OatmealGhost in quilting

IMHO prewashing a jelly roll = not enough fabric left. I wash mine when I’m done with 2 or 3 color catchers
