It has been a regular week here. Most thrifty practices are the same week after week. This week though I just may have a couple of new things to share.
I have an old blanket that was starting to lose the satin edges, so I thought I would sew them back on. As I put it in the sewing room I thought to myself how it would make a lovely batting for a quilt or perhaps two. So that is what it will be used for. The blanket was getting a bit threadbare as well, and I had another blanket available to be used instead.
I filled up various bottles of cleaners and dish soap from the larger bottles. Slowly those are getting used up and I will be trying to make my own cleaners.
Baked bread twice this week. It costs less than half to make my own.
I did make an error in the Red Lentil Curry recipe. I think I forgot to say drain the lentils after they have cooked and before adding the rest of the ingredients. So sorry.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
Good tips re: the cleaning supplies. I always buy the big bottles and decant them into smaller pump bottles.
ReplyDeleteUsing the older blanket for batting is a great idea. I'm imagining how warm the quilt would be.
ReplyDeleteI also pour liquid soaps together and I always rinse laundry detergent containers with water and use too. I think of you now when I do these little things. I check at the thrift store for certain kind of thin wool blankets as you are right, they make the best batting. It's what was used for generations. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteUsing the blanket as batting is something my grandmothers often did. Unfortunately it would be way too warm for us now in the apartment.
