Always Creating More Work for Ourselves

You say Tomato, I say Enchilada Sauce. Aloha taught me how to can last week. So far I've made Tomato Soup, Spaghetti Sauce and Enchilada Sauce. It's sort of scary, but unlike the 'big boys' that scared the country with their dirty jalepenos, my canning only has the possiblity of taking out 4 or 5 people... you might not want to come to my house on Italian or Mexican night until we've thoroughly tested my new canning skills...
I know, they look kind of trashy now, but my friend Dawn gave us four old bed springs so I can take them apart and make 500+ hanging candle holders like the ones I sold on the 4th of July. Luckily they don't show up from the house - you have to sneak up on them...
If anyone has any ideas for these springs, I would love to hear them!

I could see using them for artsy little Christmas trees (wide end down!) and your mad glass skills creating the little ornaments. I have the springs and glass--but-undiscovered skill. You have all three!
