Another "light bulb" moment
Had to stop working on my sewing room organization today to get my block done for class Saturday and had a "Why didn't I think of this sooner?" moment. I knew my blade in my rotary cutter probably needed to be changed but couldn't remember, is it new?, have I already turned it over?, is it one of those Titanium blades that's supposed to last longer? And then it hit me! I changed the blade to the new Titanium blade and with a Sharpie fine point pen, wrote a "T" and 8/9 directly on the blade. It dried in seconds and hasn't rubbed off on my fabric. Now no more guessing!

I do the same thing to almost everything in my house....bottle of shampoo, jar of pickles, bag of sugar. I never have to ''guess'' how old something is, the date I opened it is right there in front of me. Got the trick from my Grandmother who passed away almost 35 years ago, so I feel like I am keeping part of her alive....

What a fabulous idea!!!!! My DH is so bad with appliances, etc. and I have to spend a lot of time trying to find manuals, etc. - now I will just write on the hot water heater, etc, with a marker with the date we bought it, etc.
