Tipsy Candle Solution Found!

I love taper candles. I don't think they can be beat for their versatility whatever the occasion or no occasion at all. They're just classic. But. They're fussy. They never fit right in my holders. I usually try to put foil around the bottoms, but it doesn't work well. It also looks tacky. I was excited to try these taper candle sticky dots. 

I'm totally sold! Wow! I worked at a candle shop when I was in college, but I'd never heard of these. Who knows? Maybe they're new since then. It has been a couple of years... well, a lot of couple of years.

Bottom line, they work! They work well. They are perfect in my candle holders, but check out the second photo. Out of curiosity, I put a sticky dot on a candle and just stuck it on a dish.  It stood up perfectly! It's still standing perfectly as I write.

I couldn't be happier. I just had to share this with y'all! No more tipsy candles for me!

Be blessed,

Laura of Harvest Lane Cottage

Laura Lately... Back to School! Finally!

    

    Some of you know that I was having some knee trouble that kept me from working in November. Then came December, and there just weren't many jobs. I only worked 3 days between the two months. Finally, after a long break (which I did enjoy), I went back to work yesterday. It felt good to be back in the classroom. Yesterday, I was at the high school. It was a study skills class; so, it was an easy day for me. That makes up for some of the really hard days I have sometimes ~wink~. 

    I'm not one who enjoys change. That's interesting since my vocation involves frequent change. I'm learning to flow with it. This is year four of substituting. I began in December three years ago. I've found my sweet spot in junior high and high school. I have spent a lot of time subbing in special ed classes. I find that is a good fit in that I can be patient and work with fewer children at once. It does, however, sometimes take a lot physically. So, I'm picky about my assignments. 

    I've been doing a fair bit of knitting lately. Once again, I am reiterating to myself that I am Knitting for Joy in 2025. Do you knit or crochet? Would you like me to share more about my needlework?

    Now, it's time to go and make a pan of cornbread. I've had navy beans simmering all day with a smoked ham hock. Yummy! There's just something about the down home goodness of beans and cornbread. 

    Have a wonderful weekend! Do tell me what you've been up to and what you'd like me to write about this year.

Sincerely,

Laura

31 Day Wisdom Challenge

 I'm a little late in joining the 31 Day Wisdom Challenge with Pedro Adao. It's all about wisdom in Proverbs. He'll have Christian guests every day, too. I just wanted to share this with you. It goes throughout January. Here's the first YouTube video replay that I'm watching now.

Happy January, may God lead us all into His wisdom.
