"I've used 2-liter bottles for yarn, but I cut the bottoms off instead of around the neck. It takes a wee bit of effort to thread the loose yarn end through the neck of the bottle, but I ofn't have that split where the bottle straightens out. They stand up nicely in little paper gift bags, so I can change colors easily. This really only works with the pull-skeins that unwind from the center."

"Growing up, our meals were a combination of 'down home" southern cooking and "Tex-Mex" food. We ate beans a lot. Even organic pinto beans are cheap and one pound goes a long way once they're cooked. Cornbread and beans were a staple, along with wild greens and fried potatoes. Leftover beans can be made into refried beans for burritos or used for chili. Refried beans are made by dumping beans in a frying pan, adding onion and garlic, smashing them a little with a spoon and cooking until the dish is thick. Simple chili just takes a little ground beef (less than you would think - about a half pound to 3 or 4 cups of beans, some onion, garlic and chili powder."

"You can pick up a pile of unwanted, unloved and out of date picture/photo frames from your local thrift store for almost nothing. I got a dozen the other day for less than $3 in total. I then rummaged through my shed for all the bits of leftover paint and sample paint pots I had. I painted each one of these frames a different colour. It's amazing how paint can transform something ugly into something much more appealing. I then found some gorgeous colourful vintage bird prints to fill the frames and create a stunning gallery wall. The best bit is that you can download these bird prints for free."
