Make it Monday Week 6 round-Up

​Last week was a bits and bobs week.

I washed a load of fabric that was stored in my shed. It was in a box, all nicely sealed up, but it smelled stale, and it was a sunny day, so into the washing machine it went with a cup of white vinegar and then onto the line to dry in the sunshine. It smells so fresh and lovely now, and it's ready to be used.

I kept up with the dishcloths when I was sitting of an evening. This keeps my hands busy, and fills the present box at the same time. 

I tried a different style of kitchen towel, using tea towels and pot holders from my stash. They're quick to make but double the price of the style I usually do, so I'll think about whether or not I'll continue with them.

In the kitchen I gave the vanilla bottles a good shake up. I like to do this every couple of weeks while it's brewing. 

And as February is my biggest preserving month, I  went through the canning shed and sorted jars and lids, and flats and rings. I put a few loads through the dishwasher so they're ready to use. They were clean, but they'd been stored in the shed and some were a little dusty. I'd rather wash them all and know they are spotless and ready to use. 

I made some labels on the SNC for the spice mixes for the hampers, and applied them to the jars. Now they're ready to fill when I make the mixes later in the year.
