MAGPIE'S MUMBLINGS

A blog about my interests, which include fabric landscapes and various and assorted other artsy pursuits and sometimes known to contain mumblings of a random nature.

Now what do you suppose...

 .....I am going to do with this?....



Reminded myself of how to paper piece to create this.

Here's a little gardening 'tip' from the Resident Chef....if you use a Keurig (or know someone who does), save the plastic pods.  Clean them out and they're perfect for starting your seeds.  They already have a drainage hole in the bottom.  He's also discovered that they fit into an egg carton bottom to keep them contained.

I guess I should mention that yesterday was my 18th year Blogiversary.  Who knew I could mumble on for that length of time!

- THIS solves a burning question I'm sure you all have (hah).

- If your sewing machine skips stitches, check out THIS article.

- And I learned something (actually TWO somethings) when I read THIS.  

- I rather like THIS.  

- THESE would be cute additions to your Easter decor.

Here's your quote of the day....

      Thank you! Hah - 'unending' could be taken two different ways (yay, there's more...or....oh no, NOT more).

    oooo!!! that looks like the green fields that we passed on the way to Longmont - doesn't a nice little drive in the country sound nice?

    anywho, please tell the RC thank you for the tip - Melissa usually uses reusable filter thingamabobs, but we do have the fancy ones for company - and SOMEDAY (when American chickens are healthy again) when eggs are a CHEAP source of protein again, we'll have egg cartons, too

      Green fields is the intent!
      You don't need the egg cartons - they just help to keep the coffee pods curtailed. Any type of container would work.

    Happy Blog anniversary. I lost my first blog so I really don't know how long I have been blogging. Good work on using the pods to start seeds.

    God bless.

      Thank you Jackie. I hope the pods work and there's no reason why they won't. Saves on buying 'proper' pods meant for starting seeds.

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
