you could buy the full-sized wool blanket for the price it would take to knit this smaller version (10 skeins at $33.50 each)

i've been lucky enough (sarcasm) to have minimal bathroom storage space in my past couple rentals, so it's forced me to buy containers and keep items organized - since everything IS out in the open. even if you have cupboards or medicine cabinets, pretend you don't when you're organizing!

I just did the same thing - our 1920s apartment was painted beige, floor to (and including ceiling) and now it's clean bright white. The white makes yours look like those lovely European apartments. I vote good decision.

agreed, i hope this doesn't replace the daily chicago scavenger... it's really the only reason i still subscribe.

My mom and I were JUST talking about this! My family is Polish Catholic and we always have a butter lamb with Easter breakfast. I actually inherited a plastic mold from my grandma when she passed.

I don't think molding butter is that much weirder than dyeing hard boiled eggs, no?
