I hook rugs, I knit and I have a life - not always in that order. Hooking rugs in the traditional way is a passion. Knitting is a way of keeping those idle hands busy. In my life, I am a mother, partner, sister,aunt, friend and a happy grammy. I work with volunteers and seniors when I'm not doing those other things. I enjoy being creative - and often reinvent the wheel. Above all, I value things that are not only beautiful but useful.

Ruby Tuesday
Red is everywhere today. Here's something I can't get enough of...
I love watching the corn pop. It makes me smile - and things that can do that are the best.
For more Ruby Tuesday,just visit Mary T right here.
That IS a very pretty corn popper! Many years ago, we did the microwave popcorn. We popped it all the time because Phil loves it. Then the microwave blew. The repair man said it was from the microwave popcorn, that he'd seen many people ruin their microwaves doing that! Apparently, there is not enough moisture in the kernals to absorb the rays right, and it makes the oven have to work too hard! We got a new oven and don't pop in it anymore.

ReplyDeleteGreat popcorn popper! Isn't the smell of fresh popcorn just the best?
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on that, Stephanie, it's practically an art form.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's good for you, so all-round a great product!
