My Friday Finds . . .

 

A few of the things  I find each week that pique my interest, bring me joy, inspire me to learn, create, do, become, inspire memories . . . maybe they will do the same for you! 

From The Knitting Space.  Simple garter stitch knit slippers.  A free pattern.

Knitted Stockholme Scarf.  Free pattern from Ravelry.  I love Ravelry.

The Slow Cooker Buyers Guide, from Recipes that Crock.   How to pick the best slow cooker suited to your own needs.  I have two, one larger one for when I am feeding a crowd and a smaller one for when I only want to feed one or two people.

 

An invaluable resource for the Water Colourest, or beginning Water Colourest.  Today's Plans.  Free lessons and tips. 

A handy tip.  Glue a magnet to the back of something.   Stick a thumb tack into the wall.  Presto!

Another handy tip for a pourable mason jar.  People are just so clever!  From Adventure Ideaz.

 How to set a proper table.  I learned all of this at school, but I don't know if girls are still taught these things today.  These things are good to know! I was really grateful for this knowledge when I went to work at the manor!  It came in very handy!

And those are my finds for this week. I hope you found something of value that you can use. I find lots more than this, but these are things I think you just might like. I hope that you did!

Cindy and I are off out again today. We need to pick up Dad's prescriptions as they didn't have them ready when we were there the other day, and they are not open at the weekend. He gets his prescriptions from the Pharmacy at the Superstore and they shut on the weekend.

When we were in there the other day we noted that they had put up all kinds of gates and railings so that you can only go into the store in one direction and out of the store in one direction. If you need to go to the bathroom, you will have to go out of the store and all the way back in again. Its a bit ludicrous. Not that I like their bathrooms. They are always filthy and smell. I expect this has been done to cut back on shop lifting. With the cost of food today I expect that it is on the rise. 

And with that I will leave you with a thought for the day  . . .

In The English Kitchen today  . . .  Creamy Dijon Sauced Chicken with Mashed Potatoes. Quite simply delicious and built for just two.

I hope you have a wonderful Friday no matter what you get up to. It is quite cold here. I think the high today is going to be 9* so it will warm up a bit.  Whatever you do, wherever you go, stay safe and don't forget!
