Though my sons school pants I mend when he wears through the knee, not very prettily may I add and I figure that's the consequence of wearing though the knee in the first week of school!<br /><br />I would like a darning mushroom. These children wear their socks outside far to often, I pity my neighbors hearing me bellowing..."Get back inside and take those socks of before you ruin them, seriously how many times do I have to tell you?!?!"<br /><br />Your Brian builds sheds the same as Grant, though the boys slow him up he is much the same. We have a similar looking construction taking shape at our place at the moment, though only for the ride on mower. ;) <br /><br />xxEmma Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08500696381837942950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-68967000232060369152016-02-13T16:18:00.758+10:302016-02-13T16:18:00.758+10:30I have enjoyed discovering your blog.

I've never bought a kit (way too expensive for frugal me) but I buy the rennet tablets through OzFarmer on-line. MM were the only ones to do it in tablet form, but I shall be returning to liquid rennet after tomorrow. However, I do have success with their recipes for Blue Vein and Feta. Their blue mould (Penicillin Roquefort)in a sachet I have found to be good quality.Jembella Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646075804716647311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-89353660845742603932016-02-09T11:12:55.421+10:302016-02-09T11:12:55.421+10:30I haven't used the Mad Millies rennet but I ga...I haven't used the Mad Millies rennet but I gave up <br />on their kefir starter after several fails and now<br />use another type.

I used to use the liquid and you are correct about it becoming less effective with age, in fact each time we open the lid it loses some of its power. Today's cheese was a major fail in the end. It somehow got full of air bubbles and was twice the height it should have been. Obviously some rogue bacteria got in there. Have had that happen once or twice before, have you? The dogs are enjoying an extra bit of dairy in their diet though. ;)Jembella Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646075804716647311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-82804895353880621712016-02-08T21:15:33.038+10:302016-02-08T21:15:33.038+10:30Nice shed and nice darning (I mend my favourites u...Nice shed and nice darning (I mend my favourites until they fall apart). With the rennet, I was thinking that liquid rennet losses its effectiveness and you gradually need more and more. I don't know if the same happens with tablets, but it sounds like it! It is frustrating as you never know exactly how much to use... I order it from Greenliving Australia :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12874273438983052621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-13940937600264481692016-02-08T19:18:36.406+10:302016-02-08T19:18:36.406+10:30That's OK Heather, I can always fix it up this...That's OK Heather, I can always fix it up this end.
