In reply to a few questions that Katy asked me while I was visiting her -

I got my t-shirt here.

Recipes for homemade home cleaners can be found here. I got my recipes from a book called Clean House, Clean Planet but the recipes are much the same as those at MakeYourCosmetics. I have made a multi-surface cleaner and antibacterial bathroom scrub. They smell delicious and work well, though they don’t really remove staining and they require a little extra rinsing. I have also made a vinegar floor cleaner which, providing you don’t mind the place smelling of vinegar, works wonderfully as a quick clean between proper mops.

I haven’t done any knitting for a few days but I have mended an old dress and glued the butterfly back onto my shoe. The dress had been needing mended for a couple of years so I am very pleased that I fixed it! One less job on the list of tasks that never get completed! All this sewing has me in the mood to sew and I was delighted to find Burda Style which has wonderful open source sewing patterns. I think I would like to make myself a shirt.

Back to knitting - the new summer Knitty is up. Something like Wisp could take care of the two balls of Kid Silk Haze that I have lying around.

We like information sharing, so hopefully someone can help me and tell me where I could get a magnetic notice board. I have a magnet board that I fashioned out of a few bits of wood, a coffee can and a piece of fabric but stuff keeps falling off it and I have decided that I need a new board. Can you help?
