How to keep your nice and pretty cotton dishcloth from fading or the colors running....

Before you use your dishcloth put it into a bowl of tepid water with about a capful of white vinegar. Let it soak a couple of minutes, block it as usual. Then when you wash your pretty brightly colored kitchen dishcloth it will stay nice and pretty.

How to block: Squeeze excess water from dishcloth. Re-arrange cloth to proper size and shape, put it on another towel and allow to dry completely.

For a fresh New Year......

“Today is a brand new day.
A fresh start.
Replace any negativity with positivity.
Think happy thoughts.
Exercise. Drink lots of water. Fill your body with fuel.
Healthy is happy.
Inspire yourself.
Create. Laugh. Play. Love. Learn.
Give someone a compliment. Make a new friend.
Do a random act of kindness. It creates good karma.
Take chances and finally start living life to its fullest.
But no matter what’s thrown at you today,
smile and remember, always a fresh new start.”
