Today I finished up the first batch of apple butter. I think it's darker than it should be but the kids have almost finished a jar already and seem to love it. Tomorrow I'll start another batch.
I also did a craft experiment. I have made a couple little cat toys on the plastic rings from milk carton lids that look like little octopus legs. Then I wondered what would happen if I made them on a hair tie. Well, wonder no more, I have done it.
As soon as I can get some new hair ties I do plan on making a few of these and seeing if they are something I can sell. Between these and the dish cloths, maybe I could start a small business, so I could use the excuse of "I'm working" to sit in my corner and play with yarn. That would be nice.
