I almost forgot

I have been doing some canning, too. I made some strawberry preserves, and of course, who doesn't do tomatoes. I was given a whole mess of tomatoes by both of my grandmothers and I wasn't able to use all of them. I canned some. I had enough to stew 2 pints. They make pretty jars.

I have neglegted my blog for too long...but I have been working on a few things. I found a cute tutorial for a peek-a-boo toy bag. I made one for a gift. And I have been doing other things too. Just piddling I guess. A wall organizer, a crayon roll with a washable coloring mat (another gift), a draft guard for my back door to keep the hot air out of the house....oh, and I decoupaged my husband's tv tray he uses for a night stand...he loves it!

Here are some things that I recently worked on that were gifts.

I know I need to post some pictures of some of the projects I have been working on. However, I am not at home for at least 3 more days. I am visiting my sister, and I don't have all of my equipment. I will be working on lots in the weeks and months to come. We are going to try to get stuff ready for a booth at the trade days in October. I can't wait to see what the outcome will be!

Patriotic Bunting

I forgot to post this on Sunday, but I finally finished my patriotic bunting. It's staying up until after Independence Day!

Stack of Napkins

I am trying to convert my household to as green as possible and I am also trying to reduce costs such as paper towels and such like things like that. I had this old set of sheets that were torn, and I need napkins. Real napkins. This is my new product. Took me about 30 minutes to make a stack of 10. Perfect, and the Hubby likes them, too. Yay!

Popular Bible Bag

I was in a kick where I was making a LOT of bags. My husband took some of them to work with him and he sold them, but there was a request for something scriptural big enough for a Bible, but not too big. I made one, and had numerous requests for more. Here they are!
