So. Do I have to beat my tablet's screen to act on my touch because it's over a decade old, or because my finger is numb from the carpal? Methinks a little of both since the stylus fails at times also. Will have to take care of this soon because I am dropping things regularly. Took a bowl of melted butter for pizzelles out of the microwave, and lost my grip. Upside down, butter splashed walls, cabinets, and my clothes. Thank goodness for Lestoil! Full strength drop on each grease spot both jeans and sweatshirt, rinse well, gone. Gone. That stuff has saved many a piece of clothing.
Finally starting to move on the interior painting. Doors, windows, baseboards first, then walls (all Ben Moore White Dove). No other brands have color matched it well enough, not messing around. Wrought hooks of various styles are installed on my doors as previously told, but they are quite narrow which looked fine on the dark paint. But lost on this very light. I found these black for a few bucks at Lowe's, really like the heft. If installed on hollow doors, a bolt going through to other side and secured with a nut works. Or adhesive caulk.
Really dresses up the expanse of white and perfect for hanging baskets, stitchery, easy to change, out of pets' grab. I like to finish some projects into pouches and a door is a great place to display them.
As for the kitchen cabinets, I am considering one of the sprayers seen on IG that appear to lay a great finish on them. When it warms up!
Baby it's cold outside.
Along with Neon Dion, only four cardinal pairs have been feeding daily. With the cold temps coming back, I expect the mob to visit again.
Thank you for mentioning this Mary .... the Epley maneuver for at home treatment of vertigo works for so many, and my uncle was told to practice it regularly while on chemo. I am hesitant to do it this time, it feels different than my usual vertigo and may have something to do with the fall I took in November after which episodes became frequent and lasted for days. My knee is a mess, physically and visually (scars are horrible).
New pizzelle maker being delivered today, and nowhere to recycle the dead one. This time, I'm banned from butter handling. Found the aluminum plates model, non stick coating on any cookware is avoided. We alternate anise seeds/flavoring with the vanilla butter nut (favorite of family).
Be warm, be well, be safe.

My fingers feel your fingers' pain...or lack thereof. For years I have had ridiculous issues with touch screens of any sort. Some people say I don't have any fingerprints LOL. But you don't want to stand behind me in any line involving entering information by touching a screen. One of the reasons I always have a keyboard for my ipads, etc. But, for some reason (most likely inflammation from the AS and arthritis) that's becoming challenging too. Love the look of your hooks with the dark hardware. Wicked cold here...Currently -25º windchill with warnings of down to -40. I know what a pizzelle is but have never had one. ~Robin~
My mom used to make pizzelles. Yum!
Hooks are the perfect touch.
Marly, I like the new hooks. They look awesome on the white doors. Stay warm!
