Use Salt To Prevent Bleeding Fabric Dye

By likekinds

A South American woven rug with bright colors.I love my old jeans I wear for gardening. Too bad they see a lot of wear and tear. With our weather never getting above freezing for weeks on end, now is a good time to get out needle and thread and do some patching.

Mushroom and Wild Rice Soup (Instant Pot)

By Jess (TF Editor)

A bowl of mushroom and wild rice soup cooked in an Instant Pot pressure cooker.If you have recently gotten an Instant Pot, you might enjoy making this soup. It was very easy to make and turned out great. This is a vegetarian version but I'm definitely going to make one with beef broth and meat. It would be like a Stroganoff soup. Yum!

Bridge Table with Cedar Boards

By Sandi/Poor But Proud

Bridge Table with Cedar Boards - ready to workI recently had a small fold-up table between the two longer ones I have in my workroom. I kept hitting my knee on the leg, it would shake, coffee would slop, etc. Plus, I lost work space. I fixed this today.

Butt Paste for Cracked Hands
My hands start to crack every winter from our dry air. Hand lotion does not seem to help. I remembered how well Boudreaux's Butt Paste Diaper Rash Ointment worked for my babies so I thought I'd try it. It really works well to help my skin heal and prevent more cracking.
Recycle Your Favorite Calendars
I save my favorite calendars from year to year and store the previous years in boxes. Since some of my favorite artist's calendar works can run from a few dollars to over $20, I pull out the previous years and don't spend any money on them again!
