Seeds won't sprout? Here's a tip that works.

Sometimes even when seeds are fresh and should be viable, they just will not sprout (or very few of them do). I first started using this trick for delphinium seeds (which are famous for ...»
being stubborn) and now I use it for any seeds that don't seem to do well with direct sowing. I tried three methods and one was the clear winner... http://www.empressofdirt.net/best-delphinium...

  • The base for the mosaic trivet. Inexpensive, and comes in a variety of sizes.
  • A variety of colors and patterns of glass, plus small mother of pearl cabochons make up this kitchen trivet.
  • The clear back makes it beautiful as a display piece or for practical use.
  • I have a friend that makes jewelry who gives me beads that she can't use (crooked holes, chipped, etc). They are great for mosaics. Here is an example with turquoise beads in the center of this trivet.

DIY Woven Headboard from Vertical Blinds!

When you get rid of those nasty vertical blinds, don't just throw them out. Repurpose them! You can make an over-sized headboard for MUCH less than it would cost to buy one.

How To Make Homemade Goo Gone

Recycled glass jars and bottles can be put to lots of good use around the house for storage or decorating. The most challenging part of recycling glass jars, however, can be getting the ...»
label completely off with no traces of the sticky gunk left behind. In the past I've used a product called Goo Gone for this job and it's always worked well. But guess what? You can make your own Goo Gone by simply combining vegetable oil and baking soda. I tested it out on a couple little glass jars and it really does work! You can click on the link below to read the complete instructions.

Removing Microwave Stains

I've been slowing making my way through the kitchen and yesterday I cleaned the microwave. The burned-on stains are the tough to remove but with a trick up my sleeve the task was much ...»
easier. Fill a bowl with 1/2 cup of vinegar and 1/2 cup of water. Bring the mixture to a boil for about 30 seconds in the microwave and then stop the heating mode. Let it stand for several minutes. The vapor will help loosen up the stains and make them much easier to remove. #MyKitchen
