Spring Cleaning....

So, we are going to have our Annual Spring Cleaning Sale at Fabric-Etc next week. It's a whole week of trying to make a lot of room for our new fabric and giving the customers a chance to get some great deals on our samples and "leftovers" that just need to go to a good home! All of the fabric is 25% off from April 14th-19th and there is a huge rack of 50% off quilting cottons. Jan and Harriet came in this afternoon and we got some of the sale ready and then tomorrow, I will work on the rest of it. Always a great week with lots of fun!

And right about now you are saying, so what does a picture of the knobs on Carol's stove have to do with the Fabric-Etc Spring Cleaning Sale?!? Well, last night I was washing clothes in the basement (seems like I am always washing or about to wash something when I write these blog posts, doesn't it?) As some of you know, I have a back/spine "problem" and I've been trying to be a good girl and not climb lots of stairs, etc. Anyway...I was hanging out in the kitchen waiting for the laundry to be done, so I started cleaning the stove - you know, really cleaning it! I took the knobs off for the four burners and cleaned really well under them, cleaned the knobs, and around the clock too. Well, that looked really good, the laundry wasn't done yet, so took off the knobs for setting the oven and the oven temperature knob. Cleaned the face plate and then cleaned the knobs, like the others. Well....oven setting knobs (on,off,etc) turned out fine like the burner knobs. BUT almost all of the numbers (temperature settings) came off of the other knob!!! Can you see that in the picture? After 60 years (50 of which using ovens), I guess I can probably figure it out fairly accurately until I can get a replacement. Sounds like a great excuse not to cook and do any more Spring Cleaning at home, though!

Have a GREAT weekend...hopefully more sun tomorrow?
