Going all mother Earth

Ok, so I have had a few hairbrain ideas in my time but my latest will undoubtedly turn a few heads. So, here it is...
The reusable sanitary pad.  Yup, that's right, reusable!  Inspired by the likes of

I set about having a go myself and these pics give you some idea of my progress! (it is a work-in-progress!)
So, rough paper patterns, Design ideas, final paper patterns and the mountains of fabric from my stash!

There will be more coming soon - looking forward to my latest project!

PERFECT!!!

It seems I have perfected the art of the bagel - hoorah! Thank GOD for bake-o-glide, works every time!!

So now its official - I actually make ALL our bread, all of it! Its just great to think that I don't have to buy any of that commercial rubbish (which btw contains all sorts of nasties) - I don't even know what some of them are:

Wheat Flour,Water ,Rye Flour ,Sugar ,Salt ,Yeast ,Vegetable Oil ,Wheat Gluten , Preservative (Calcium Propionate) ,Malted Barley Flour , Emulsifier (Mono- and Di-Acetyltartaric Esters of Mono- and Di-Glycerides of Fatty Acids) , Flour Treatment Agent (Ascorbic Acid) ,Corn Grits.
So that is what you will find in a standard bagel, compared to mine - Organic flour, water, honey and yeast, is there any contest? No!
