Question about making 'Beach Glass'
Comments (13)Thank you for your replies & ideas! I really sort of figured it would take several days to get that 'beachy' look. I've used the tumbler a time or two, with just water and a drop of detergent, ran it about 30 minutes or so, and that did a wonderful job of cleaning up the glass, making it sparkling clean, and took off all the sharp edges, so it was safer to mosaic with. So now I think I will try the just sand method. Sure wish I had access to a cement mixer! By the way, I've never run the tumbler with any rocks in it, so I have no idea what kind of noise that would make, but the glass with water made hardly any sound at all. Thank goodness!...See Morequestion about jars?
Comments (5)Some members have used similar jars for boiling water bath canning. Annie and one other member (sorry, name escapes me) used them to make wedding favors. They work fine, the only issues being it can be a bit more difficult to discern if the jar is sealed and of course, replacement lug lids are not as easy to find.

Comments (0)Hi. I received a gorgeous terrarium for a wedding gift and am trying to figure out what I will put in it. It's a glass cloche bell jar terrarium with a terra cotta base - looks something like this. It's not very large - maybe 4 or 5 inches in diameter. This is a new venture for me and I am excited to give it a try but I don't really know where to start. I poked around this forum for a bit and found a lot of stuff about aquariums and things but didn't easily find anything that seems to relate to this type of terrarium. So - does anyone have experience with this type of terrarium that they would like to share? Seems like everything will have to fit in the base and stand up on its own since I will have to assemble it before putting on the lid (also I'll have to be able to remove the lid periodically without the whole thing falling apart). I've seen pots inside these but I was really hoping to build a real terrarium - will this be possible? Just a bit about me and my house in case this helps answer questions: I have a reasonable green thumb, have a few orchids now that are doing well and can keep most any house plant alive no problem. So, I am not afraid to do medium to high maintenance if I need to - though to tell the truth I'd rather not have to fuss every day. Our house is rather large and there are a few spots that get direct morning sun, but the rest is indirect light all day. My orchids like the sunny spot and there isn't much other room there, so that wasn't my favorite idea for the terrarium location. I was thinking of either a lower light spot like my window box over my kitchen sink (where I can enjoy looking at it daily, of course there would be incandescent light at night when we are using the kitchen) or a medium light location in my dining room (with more light at the end of the day). Which would be better? I will probably buy a book on terrariums in addition, so if anyone has advice on a good guide, I would appreciate that as well. Thanks in advance!...See MoreA question about freezing lasagna
Comments (10)Freezing lasagna reminds me of when our daughter was in college and we would package up homemade frozen food and fill her freezer. I would bake lasagna and then portion it into small foil pans (don't forget to spray them with Pam). Wrapped them in heavy-duty foil and took them to her frozen so she could reheat them a serving at a time. So that's another freezer option. I now make packets of lasagna roll-ups for the freezer for ourselves. Works much better for serving 2. -Grainlady...See Moreseagrass_gw Cape Cod
