Kitchen Sink Faucet...

I saw this post about cleaning hard water build up today on The Thrifty Home blog. Our kitchen faucet has always had this problem and no matter how hard you scrub, it doesn't come off. So I tore a few paper towels off the role, soaked them in vinegar and placed them on the areas needed. 30 minutes later the hard water scum came off really easy. I also put vinegar in the tray under the water dispenser in the fridge door and it's nice and clean too. I am very happy to have found this blog post.

I was shocked to see how built up the hard water scum was on the faucet/sprayer...

And happy to see it gone. After soaking it in a cup of vinegar, I used an old tooth brush to clean it off.

Embroidery Class...

I have the best group of girls in my embroidery class. We have been working with basic stitches - like back stitch and split stitch - on really cute designs.

So, after learning the stitches and a little practice we have finished this cute pattern by Wild Olive...


...and we are currently working on this cute mermaid from Bad Bird.




Both are free designs and you can find them at the links below.

"Olive" You so much!

Mermaid

Enjoy your weekend.
