Recycled Dish Scrubbie ~ More Freezer Baking


Thanks to Mooberry Farm Homesteading Journal, I have found another way to utilize my plastic net bags from my lemons, and other fruits and vegetables (vs. cutting the bags and crocheting the bags together). For directions
visit:  Make an Onion Bag Dish Scrubby.


Although, for the one above in the photo, I simply crocheted directly into the lemon bag.  You can also fill these types of net bags with food for birds.  For more ideas visit S.C.R.A.P. Blogspot.

Scrubbie Update:  I just washed dishes with it.  Works as good as my other scrubbies I made:

This one (the green one) last a long time.  I crocheted a rectangle of cotton yarn for the other side.  I may do this also for the new scrubbies that are made from mesh bags.



And thanks to Candy again at Lazy J Bar C Farm, I pulled a container of my frozen pumpkin puree and made her Pumpkin Spice Muffins.  I have enough of my puree to make another batch.  I love these recipes, because they bake 18 vs. 12 and in our large family, more is better.  The family gobbled these up too.  They are light and I love how they come off the paper liner completely.  I've made many muffins over the years, and some do stick to the liners. 

And....despite all this baking, I have now lost 5.4 pounds.  Yay!
