How cool is the new pipe my Dad is representing?! It’s good old non-leaching, non-poisonous when it’s on fire, recyclable when you’re done with it, polypropylene by Aquatherm. Nifty. Thanks for making me feel better about this whole poisonous plastic thing, Dad.

It’s my Blogaversary! I almost missed it AGAIN! Yarn Miracle started five years ago today. I had Michael, our dog Angus and lived in Great Gran‘s attic (the house wasn’t finished). Today I have Michael, six cats plus one outside, Ellie, and live in my Great Grandparents’ house. I have a lot more sock yarn. How things change.

Harvest Moon Upper Room has some beautiful dish cloth patterns! There are a few freebies so that you can try them out.

I was looking around on etsy (as I am wont to do) and saw this! If only my crochet skills amounted to anything.

Food coloring made from vegetable coloring! Really pretty colors!

To date, the raccoons have 4 little metal bowls, 2 plastic bowls, 1 very heavy glass ash tray and a large salad bowl. What are they doing with all of those? The salad bowl and the ash tray would have taken some serious effort to steal. John Quincy had to eat on the porch floor this morning and I am out of ideas.

It’s World Breastfeeding Week. They’ve got a week for everything.

I want absolutely everything in this store.
