New look for the blog and a new hobby

08:59, Wednesday, August 29, 2007 .. 2 comments .. Link

Well, I finally figured out how to change the look of my blog.It took a lot of "fiddlin" but I think I pretty well figured thing out.  I hope in the future to add a video to it also. 

I have also decided to learn to knit.  My grandmother had given me a needle work book from readers digest so I consulted that when I decided.  I spent about an hour an evening just practicing for about a week before I  tried my hand at a shaw.  Knitting seems so much slower than crocheting.  My husband seems impressed though since he bought me a knitting board.  I may hold off trying that till I feel more confident. 

We have also spent the past few day checking our food and such inventory.  We recently bought some new shelves to store much of our food and misc. supplies on.  I prefer to have items out where I can see them.  I have one large set in my kitchen for all of my "used daily" items.  All of my spices, flour, sugar, mixer, and items for my husbands lunches.   I have two shelves now in my laundry room.  One for misc supplies like my sewing, material, bleach, vinegar, etc.  and the other larger one for food supplies.  When we bought groceries for 6 months it made us realize the need for more space for food storage.  We plan to buy a few more for our home canned items soon.  What we are storing them on now are very small and not so strong.  I will feel safer when we change those shelves.

Your blog looks great! I LOVE the red mixers...too cute! I have wanted to get better at knitting for so long. I just kind of dabble in it, but need lots of practice! I'm sure you'll love it--it's very relaxing.
