Simple ideas to make life fun. The importance of pre-washing. (And how to make a cute nap blanket). January 22, 2010. I made a little nap blanket for the 5-year old to bring to preschool with her. I found some great lavender chenille that I planned to back with a printed flannel. The picture above is the crazy amount of lint that the piece of chenille released in the dryer. It was rather beastly. One Response to “The importance of pre-washing. (And how to make a cute nap blanket)”. Enter your comment here.

Rainbow cake | Lines and Curves
https://linescurves.wordpress.com/2010/01/16/rainbow-cake
Simple ideas to make life fun. January 16, 2010. The older daughter had her birthday this month, she turned 5! She had been telling me for MONTHS that she wanted a cake with roses made of frosting. So I had been watching the youtube cake ladies show me how to make roses, and getting up my courage to attempt one myself, when I was SAVED at the last minute! Over at the Spicy Skillet. Looked do-able! And the little flowers would serve as a reasonable substitute for roses! At Whatever. Looked very good!

Think with your hands | Lines and Curves

Simple ideas to make life fun. Think with your hands. October 29, 2009. I do think it is a bit problematic, however, to promote this creative work = play meme. Too much of that gets misunderstood by the non-creative population, who add it to their “creatives don’t ACTUALLY do any work” file in their head. I think what Brown is actually getting at, here, though, is that the play approach allows you to do MORE work, and achieve better results. Check it out…. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Putting up pickles. | Lines and Curves
https://linescurves.wordpress.com/2009/08/25/putting-up-pickles
Simple ideas to make life fun. August 25, 2009. It’s the height of summer! My garden is producing cucumbers and tomatoes like wildfire. I love taking some time out to preserve the bounty of summer. Cucumbers are my favorite thing to preserve, but I also can pears from our pear tree, and make Quince jam from the Quince bushes that were here when I bought the house 10 years ago. The only trouble I have with those is that the jars are so beautiful I am hesitant to give them away! August 29, 2009 at 7:01 pm.

More pickles. | Lines and Curves
https://linescurves.wordpress.com/2009/10/28/more-pickles
Simple ideas to make life fun. October 28, 2009. I’ve been so busy making pickles that I have had no time for blogging! My pantry shelves are overflowing and I’ve spent way too much money on canning jars. It’s a problem. Just kidding. The truth is that sometimes my life gets whirling away and my internet life suffers for a while. Which I think is OK. I’m sorry if I have disappointed anyone. But I’m quite sure it will happen again sometime. Usually in summer. But… getting back to pickles! Address never ma...

Wowls | Lines and Curves
https://linescurves.wordpress.com/2009/07/19/wowls
Simple ideas to make life fun. July 19, 2009. Recently we paid a visit to the Maine Wildlife Park. In Gray, Maine. The park is set up to permanently house animals that can not survive in the wild due to injury or human intervention of some sort or another. It’s a pretty interesting place. Not exactly a zoo, but close. It is greeat to see the wild animals that co-exist with us up there in the Maine woods when we are there for the summer. Lot of play time. 2 Responses to “Wowls”.

Simple ideas to make life fun. A letter from Aunt Lou. June 8, 2010. You knew didn’t you that Justine, was refused entrance to the University of New Hampshire, because she hadn’t the proper fit She would not take their refusal, and hung on to their coat tails until they finally let her in. She finally argued them off their feet. Now that was sheer grit and personality. She was afraid of nothing. If, you can dig up a single thing out of this campaign I half way mapped for you which will lead toward New Yo...

knitting for kids | Lines and Curves
https://linescurves.wordpress.com/2010/01/31/knitting-for-kids
Simple ideas to make life fun. January 31, 2010. The thing about knitting for kids is, I always hesitate because I know they will grow out of the thing in a couple of years. As much as my daughter really does appreciate the things I make her, and she even has a little sister to carrythe torch, it still smarts to put all that into something that will be too small in the near future. So I was very happy with these little wrist warmers I came up with. 183;Tags: knitting kids mittens gloves wristwarmers.

Best Pickles Ever. | Lines and Curves
https://linescurves.wordpress.com/2010/07/06/best-pickles-ever
Simple ideas to make life fun. July 6, 2010. I am officially kicking off the summer pickling season today. Making “kid pickles”. My kids have dubbed them as such because they want to eat the whole jar and not let any grownups have any. Good luck with that, kids. The following is from Gogol Gastronomy:. Water – 1 litre. Coarse sea salt – 4 full tbs. Sugar – 2 full tbs. White vinegar(6%) – 2 tbs. Garlic cloves (peeled,whole) – 4. Bay leaves – 2. Black pepper corns – 4. Corriander seeds – 2tsp. Enjoy them a...
