Things are all mixed up. This post is for Tuesday, and you thought cranberry sauce went with Christmas or Thanksgiving turkey. Welcome to my world. 4/11/12 post will be up later today, and cans of cranberries are part of a new tip on making your clothing fit better.
I love "hand-me-ups." My daughter's closet has a seasonal shed, and I come home the richer. One new-to-me item is a sweater that will be perfect for the yard but is not so perfect in length in the body. It is also a bit on the wide side.It was still damp for its trip through the wash as I stretched out the body. With knits it's magic that one can make a garment longer and narrower all at the same time. The only problem was that the Things I get to do today did not include holding the sweater in its new, longer shape until it dried. I had to get going on the kiwi trellis before the rains came again. Who can I hire to hold the sweater?
Handy Andy's brain was on a buzz. I saw some big clamps: Old-style pant hangers! I saw weights: cans of cranberry sauce. I saw them working together: cans in a recycled plastic bag tied to the hook on the hanger. I saw a nice long sweater. Hooray!
Thank you so much. I was still trying to figure out what to do with all the cans of cranberry sauce we did not use at Thanksgiving or any other festivity. I prefer to make my own, but Spencer being from Montana from an earlier time things canned cb is a great treat. Just like overcooked canned Asparagus is wonderful. He's never learned to eat pretty much uncooked. Saw the first top of one today-maybe!
ReplyDeleteWell, this is the perfect way to use canned cranberries. I'm with you--make it myself from the hundreds of much better ideas and recipes out there. But my mom found a sale on it at Bimart, stocked up and then insisted that I have some from her supply. And now my sweater fits better.
DeleteSorry, I really do know the difference between think and thing. It's the dyslexia thing-again.

Right on track here, dear lady. I never catch those sorts of booboos until I've posted for the world to see on a friend's blog. They just crop up in the most inconvenient places. Love to you!
DeleteI am amazed at the things you come up with!!!
ReplyDeleteMe, too! Isn't life just one big, fun adventure of discovery. Do something really bizarrely creative today and tell me about it!
