FYI and just a random post for you!

Do you have ........

While cleaning a cupboard today (might I add it really needed it)--I ran across this nugget of info.....thought some of you might find it useful.


It was from network DIY--but not sure of the author:

TOP TEN USES FOR WHITE VINEGAR

1) Cleaning drains...pour1/2 cup baking soda in the drain, follow by 1/2 cup vinegar: the mixture will foam as it cleans and deodorizes. use every few weeks to keep drains clean.

2) Mildew on plastic shower curtains. Put the shower curtain in the washer with light colored towels: and 1 cup white vinegar to the detergent and wash

3) Soap scum on shower. Spay on vinegar, scrub and rinse.


4) Toilet bowl- hard water rings. Shut off water at the tank and flush to remove as much water as possible. Spray vinegar on the ring, sprinkle in borax and scrub with drywall sandpaper.

5) Shower head deposits. Pour white vinegar into a plastic bag, tape to the shower head and leave overnight. Brush the shower head to remove remaining deposits.

6) Softening laundry-Fill dispenser with 1/4 cup white vinegar to soften laundry.

7)Cleaning vinyl floors- Add 1/4 cup white vinegar to 1 gallon hot water for clean floors.

8) Cleaning windows- Mix 50% white vinegar with 50% warm water in a spray bottle. Spray surfaces and wipe dry.
9) Neutralizing pet odors- Mix 1 part white vinegar with 3 parts water.
Pour on stained area and blot; never rub to remove the Stain.

10) Greasy dishes- Mix 3 parts white vinegar to liquid dish soap to boost the cleaning power.

WOW!
I can't even begin to calculate all the dollars I can save by using this very common household kitchen product!

Hope you find this "interestingly helpful".

More insights from the garden....

As I continued to think on the similarities between cultivating ones soul or ones garden....I realize that we have many different types of tools to accomplish the task at hand.......for example, as we cultivate the garden we will need a few to several tools to help us achieve the desired results. Every gardener will find one tool in particular that they will favor over another. But there will always be that "one weed or problem area" that will require yet a more specific weapon for the destruction of that tenacious weed......if after an honest try the gardener fails then perhaps it is time to "ask" for help. So it is with the care of our soul....we may have a favored way to handle the "weeds" in our heart, one that brings the desired result quickly and completely....however, if it is one who's roots have grown deep or old and thus toxic then a more affective method must be sought. I have my own favorite tools for the care of garden and soul..... whic...

Gifts....

Image
Let me ask you a personal question if I may. Would you rather give a gift or receive a gift? Odd question you say? Well is it really? Most would say that's a no-brain-er.....to receive a gift is better than to give a gift...right? Perhaps this is true for lots of folks..but for me I so enjoy giving gifts...especially gifts I make specifically for a "specific" reason. Take this lap quilt it's sweet, it's big blocks, not special piecing with the tricky points..half square triangles...on point..no real mitered corners~just a sweet large block lap quilt made with London Lawn fabrics. Are you impressed with my quilting jargon? Please don't be, I am an "intermediate~ intermediate" if you will. Which is my self made label for not a beginner but yet not with the experience of an intermediate quilter~one who is many quilts away from being advanced in their quilting abilities. Certainly, I am many quilts away from entering something in a quilt s...

So what makes a heart sing?

" DO WHAT MAKES YOUR HEART SING" So when you read this statement what is the first thing that comes to mind? I purchased a sign many years ago with that thought provoking little statement ...it's meaning touched a deep place within me. At the time I could have given you a list to include many things that made my heart sing. I can still remember how I felt when I spotted this sign in one of my "favorite gift shops". I knew I had to own it! I know you know exactly what I mean...be honest :-0) Ok then, perhaps not a sign like this- but something of equal "heart stirring" significance! I bought it, and I brought it home with me---no second guessing on this purchase......no squirming because of the price or of the color or because it was neither too large or too small--- nope....just a "typical heart stirring" impulsive purchase..... that day there in my favorite shop. It took me longer to decide where and how I would display it.. What room and o...
