ANYBODY ELSE A GADGET GURU?

Maybe quilts from the material you have saved from your daughters' dresses?  The grandchildren might like them, and it would give you something to do.  Like you need something more to do.....

Personally, I love quilts, the more memories the better.  But I have absolutely NO patience when it comes to putting them together.

Maybe I could crochet afghans from the cat hair all over the house.  Got plenty of that, with three cats in full spring shedding mode.

My mom would eyeball the dryer lint thinking that maybe it could be used to stuff pillows. Seriously, she hated to not "reuse" eveything.

Yep, I could put together some quilts, but then I've have to let my farmland go fallow.  Decision, decisions.   Also, when I plan a quilt, I prefer to pick co-ordinating fabrics so off to the fabric store I go.   I'm great at STARTING quilts, but not so great at finishing them.

A cat-hair afghan would be great!    How're you spending your time these days, keeping busy?

Let's see....I have one of those gadgets that takes the flesh out of an avocado while slicing it at the same time, a strange pair of scissors that you can chop stuff in a bowl with, my Mom's $15 egg slicer from Pampered Chef, and God knows what else is in there, who can find anything in that place???

If there is a nail/hair gadget, I have it. Stuff that clients have never seen before, and probably wouldn't see in any other salon. I love, love, supply catalogs and hair shows. Sometimes it's wasted money, but any tax write off isn't wasted...lol

I've got hair gadgets... in my closet.. some with batteries.... oh wait.. nebbermind.

You like that avocado thingee?  I still use a spoon.

Love my egg slicer.  I'm going to dig through my gadget drawer and see what the wierdest thing I've got is..

You scoop the insodes out of avocados?  No wonder I can't peel the damn things.  Always end up with guacamole....

Being from the West Coast, and married to a man whose 1/2 Mexican, I KNOW the only true way to eat an avocado is to cut it in half, take out the seed, add salt and pepper and then go to it with a spoon. Yummmm.

I was overjoyed when my Nut told me yesterday to eat more of them. Oh, the sacrifices we make in the name of health.

Yeah, I know all about those "hair" gadgets that you have in your closet.

I just took a gander at the drawer(s). Two tea infusers. Why 2?  I guess the weirdest thing is one of those vegetable slicers that do a crinkle cut. Heck, now you can buy carrots already  crinkle cut and ready to go. I'll be tossing the cutter.

As far as the avocado thingy goes, it all depends on the size of the avocado. If it's not JUST the right size it doesn't work, and the outcome really depends on the ripness of the avocado, too. Might just toss that, but my son gave it to me! Wow....how could I possibly throw away something my baby boy gave me....lol.

That hair gadget memory makes me smile brightly this morning. Thought of that when she said "drawers." My drawers are private thank you very much!

Susan,  do you get fresh Haas avacados in Arkansas?   Maybe next time I head east I should bring you some?
