This is a little crocheted granny-square-ish bowl I made to corral all the plastic container lids.  They drive me nuts.  But, alas, they are necessary.  So now they have their own special place, and they are still easy to grab in a hurry.

I’m thinking about embellishing this with a little flower.   I think it needs some bubblegum pink. :)

Also, I’ll probably use fabric stiffener on it to help it maintain its shape.  I’ve never done this before, so does anyone have any experience with it?  Anything I should know?

On the cooking front (you know, what the kitchen is actually intended for… one might suspect that all I do in there is decorate), yesterday I was aching to make something apple-y, and I came across this Apple Crumble Cake recipe.   I added cinnamon and replaced some of the white sugar with brown sugar.  I also used a mix of whole wheat and all-purpose flour.  Unfortunately, we baked it a little too long (about 50 minutes), and the cake part was not very moist.  But it was still delicious served with vanilla ice cream.  And it was even better a few hours later when all the syrupy goodness had settled a bit.  Mmmmm.
