I decided I needed to come up with an easy way to dry and store mittens other than jammed into a basket or strewn all over floor registers , my dogs would have a blast with them if you know what I mean ...and I have this window right by the front door , so my solution was to make a removable mitten dryer<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOHmxTVVneNXRXPfLzhARnY2TVz22WorKj47NSZPtP8t9CgtzESBR5S9eOzlrIcSeyFAXvmyaZ_FsDjvYnpcnP8fl6pfBWTRGZZm0-C8Ac2HBszNsa_5pJfUPTcAJDJNHI7wJMqbd-yUM/s1600/dscf9227.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550664938979909890" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOHmxTVVneNXRXPfLzhARnY2TVz22WorKj47NSZPtP8t9CgtzESBR5S9eOzlrIcSeyFAXvmyaZ_FsDjvYnpcnP8fl6pfBWTRGZZm0-C8Ac2HBszNsa_5pJfUPTcAJDJNHI7wJMqbd-yUM/s400/dscf9227.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br />I used a left over piece of 1x3 wood and I drilled through two holes just slightly larger than two big dowels I had lying around , I then drilled matching holes right in the window <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">sill</span> and I used carpenters glue to keep the dowels in place in the window <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">sill</span>, I then drilled a series of holes along the top side of the wood to hammer in dowels , well actually I used extra large skewers I picked up at the grocery store , cake dowels would work nicely too and they would be straighter than my skewers , I cut off the sharp end of the skewer and hammered them in, former sharp side down, and it works very nicely.</div><div>I just slipped the dryer over the dowels and that keeps it secured in place , why didn't I think of this years ago??<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLSbUVRe1iCBeltqzgj8JIzQg9zlONo6dGrrFq33uK2uddbSvXPTtdmcE-y8Z2FyqHTe-inLwgm9k7Vz1l-TRddegB_Rn8C4SEVG-rhzyVibWZ_OGMnhMlUYNMPezUquLZJiacZsBqqPU/s1600/dscf9223.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550664929244097618" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLSbUVRe1iCBeltqzgj8JIzQg9zlONo6dGrrFq33uK2uddbSvXPTtdmcE-y8Z2FyqHTe-inLwgm9k7Vz1l-TRddegB_Rn8C4SEVG-rhzyVibWZ_OGMnhMlUYNMPezUquLZJiacZsBqqPU/s400/dscf9223.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> I had planned on painting it , but the dampness would make a mess of the paint and this is a seasonal gadget, there you have it , an easy mitten dryer , this could also be attached to the wall, under a hall table or above something high , or over a rad , oh that would work really well just use thicker dowelling and glue them in place.<br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>
