I dehydrated more oregano to make sure the new dehydrator worked. There are things about it I like, and other things I do not like. It is much quieter than my last one.
How I found the lids? Well, funny story. I have one daughter who just started to learn to crochet, and asked for some yarn and supplies. I went rooting around in my craft drawers, and low and behold, I had used one drawer for empty baby food jars and lids that fit canning jars (peanut butter, tahini, and other jar lids).
I used to use the baby food jars for gifting extra dried herbs, and making homemade salves and hand creams. I no longer use the jars, so those will find a new home soon. Oh, one year I filled baby food jars with homemade taco seasoning, and gifted that one year.
Essentially, I found an entire drawer of items to get rid of, other than the lids I can use for when I open canned items, such as pickle relish, jam, taco sauce, ketchup, etc.
The pattern is for a handmade Chicken Christmas ornament. More than 4 years ago, I made one for our tree, and never did make the intended amount of them. As you can see I found the painted clothespins with eye screws already in them. I have no idea what I'll do with it all yet. Most likely see if one thrift store will take it. I have no plans to finish them, as my family has a ton of homemade ornaments from me already.
I have yet to locate my extra set of crochet hooks for the one daughter, but I now have more rainy day purging to do. I found more craft supplies that need a new home, ha ha! I thought I purged all of my supplies, but nope.
On another subject, I finally got the potatoes planted in the garden, but we have some more hot peppers to plant. I plan to get that done by the weekend. My foot hurt yesterday, and actually swelled a bit, so I'm taking it easy for a day. I will be getting another x-ray later this month. At least the garden will be completely in by the weekend. We didn't even know if we'd have one this year. I did not plant popcorn or sweet corn this year. We'll be buying it this year.
My husband bought some dragons breath flowers, so I got those planted, and more mulch dropped. We had to buy a new broom for the porch, so porch cleaning can now resume.
