Beautiful works, all of them.
This works in the kitchen, too. Grapefruit cutter, apple corer, garlic press… Why? A lowly kitchen knife does it all. I am so not a gadget person. Keep it simple.
Those chip designs would make lovely cookie presses, Lou.
Hmmm…cookie presses…I never thought of that! Thanks.
In plenty of time for the holiday craft sales. ๐
I get catalogs all the time. I no longer see anything I want or need.
