I think we bought the same kit, cause I recognize the blue tools!<br /><br />I have a question for you: I made pumpkin soup and sealed it properly in a hot water bath and everything, so do I still have to put it in the fridge? I did cause I wasn't sure, but I thought I'd ask in case I didn't have to! <br /><br />I also made applesauce with 6-7 apples, 2 pears and a couple of handfuls each of raspberries and cranberries. Once this mix had cooked until it was mushy in about 1/2 cup of water, I whizzed it through the blender and added about 1/4 cup of honey (it was initially REALLY tart cause of the cranberries!) and a couple of dashes of cinnamon and nutmeg. I've been eating it all week for breakfast... yum!<br /><br />--- Cyndy (www.thestudenthomecook.wordpress.com.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747686327093171254.post-35480340441107324762013-10-26T17:25:11.449-04:002013-10-26T17:25:11.449-04:00Yes, that too!

This particular pair of mittens matched my hat perfectly because I used the same yarn for the colored bits - Katia Mexico - a yarn that I believe is discontinued. So I would have had to luck out and find someone selling an old skein on Ravelry to knit myself another pair to match! :)<br />Also, I hope you have a good feeling when you think of whomever in the world has found your batman hats and enjoyed them!Rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03840209740132106890noreply@blogger.com
