Everyone is really impressed by what I have knitted.
But I'm not.

Sure I made the pattern, (took a photo from photoshop, took the colour away, threw it on an already made grid and figured it out - not that hard)
And once I figured out how to do intarsia, which is easier than I thought... it felt like knit by numbers. Very slow, very frustrating, but not that hard.

So I feel like I haven't impressed myself with this project, but I enjoy everyone's reactions.

I feel like I figured out how to do that, that I can out do myself.

What does it take for you to impress yourself?

That sounds amazing!

What impresses me on anything that i've done are the pieces i made from what would have been thrown away. i just look back at the finished product and think WOW, all from scraps.

i just think it's pretty cool

June, sandalwood is one of my favorite essential oils. i am not into flowery scents like lavender so i do enjoy it.

i dab some of whatever essential oil i feel like using on a tissue then suck the tissue up in the vacuum cleaner, works great to combat that icky smell coming from vacuum cleaners.

Maybe we should start a Handy Household Hints thread!

I do that with Lemon Grass essential oil. The lady who helps me out around the house always uses a Cotton Wool ball that's slightly damp with E.O added.

Great idea to have Handy Household Hints thread!
