DIY :: bowls that felt good

bowls1.jpg

It's like magic! These funky JUST COOL felted nesting bowls are easy to make (if you know how to knit that is). All you do is knit three ski caps in graduated sizes like this....

Then throw them into the washing machine on the hot water setting. And at the end of the cycle take them out and instead of three ski caps you have (VIOLA!) three cool felted nesting bowls.

Now how JUST COOL is that? Just COOL... check out design sponge for more details...

food :: zero calorie Christmas Cookies

Not quite Christmas cookies so not quite zero calories, and not quite edible either. But what a great substitute for the fat and calorie laden real thing!
