I'm not one for *watching* tv - so my hands are always busy. And not having to do the cooking (thank you Resident Chef!) gives me more time too, as well as living in a small 2 bedroom apartment rather than a house.

As for the banana 'trick' - we have sometimes put entire bunches of bananas in the fridge but they always turn black. The secret seems to be putting them in individually. We are always good about freezing too-ripe ones but then the supply grows to epic proportions and then it's hard to use them up.Magpie's Mumblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852241848575954128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-55189743495608960632021-01-16T10:52:44.497-05:002021-01-16T10:52:44.497-05:00Thank you Julierose - I'm liking this one too,...Thank you Julierose - I'm liking this one too, even though it's not my usual style.

You've got me considering the 52 tags project. It might be good to use some of my forgotten treasures. And I always seem to forget that last banana until it's past the point of rescue. Sometimes I manage to freeze it, but not always.

I used an acrylic yarn for these, simply because I'm not sure what the type of care will be.
