I recommend it to my friends, too, as many of us also aim to live simply, in our own way. <br /> A friend-of-a-friend (now my friend,too, of course) began a weekly knitting group a couple months ago. It's a lot of fun--we teach people who want to learn and share patterns and projects--I'm glad I made the effort as I look forward to it every week and have made several new friends.

In conventional composting you can't put meat and certain other things in due to disease etc. A bokashi bin deals with scraps, cooked food, raw meant and bones. Heck, it'll help break down leather!!! For more info the below site is where we get our stuff from but there are loads more places worldwide.<br />http://www.originalorganics.co.uk/bokashi.htm<br /><br />Thanks so much for your kind comments on my kitchen!Affi'eniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15250993277535319499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-48482676181264108472010-04-24T00:46:02.607+10:002010-04-24T00:46:02.607+10:00An Incy kitchen like mine, only I think you have m...An Incy kitchen like mine, only I think you have more bench top space.

My current kitchen is the smallest I've ever had, and I think it is my favorite one so far! The layout is nice and just two or three steps and I can move around the whole room. Sometimes I wish it were larger, but don't know if I would enjoy it as much then.Little Penpenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374048900216199298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-51436550509998737092010-04-23T12:50:56.923+10:002010-04-23T12:50:56.923+10:00Affienia, your kitchen is lovely, I especially lik...Affienia, your kitchen is lovely, I especially like the colours and the sunshine pouring in the window.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751315680374413649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-37991881942691588742010-04-23T12:46:20.197+10:002010-04-23T12:46:20.197+10:00I've been loving all the kitchens.
