Practical bibs

I made Everett some bibs out of kitchen hand towels. I love that they actually cover the whole front of his body. And, they clean up like a dream! I'm thinking about making a tutorial for them, so there may be more to come in the future.

Under construction

So, I'm trying to figure some things out with blogger...(yes I'm being creative and trying to learn new skills)...so my blog might be a little messy for a little while...

List of things to do

Women's Skirt. Wish I knew where I found it from

Silhouette Frames for my boys from Tweetie Pie Baby

Knee pad pants from MADE

Pickeled Peppers

Jalepenos are thriving in my garden! My husband and I decided to pickel some for storage. We love to make shredded jalepeno beef for sandwiches or enchilladas so I'm sure we'll have good use of these.

Making these is VERY easy. Here is the recipe and instructions:

Pickeled Jalepenos or Banana Peppers

10 cups banana or jalepeno peppers

2 cloves garlic

4 cups white vinegar

2 teaspoons pickling/canning salt

1. Wash peppers and slice (you can put them in whole if you'd like)

2. Put 1/2 clove of garlic in each of the clean pint jars

3. Boil salt and vinegar

4. Pack peppers into jar leaving 1/4" headspace

5. Pour hot liquid into jars leaving 1/4" headspace. Use a knife or spoon to remove air bubbles from jar. To do this, put the utincil down the side of the jar and move it toward the center of the jar.

6. Boil lids in a saucepan for a few minutes to heat the rubber seal.

7. Use a clean cloth to wipe down the rim of the jars.

8. Put lids and rings on the jars, place in waterbath canner or other pot where water can cover the jars completely.

9. Boil for 10 minutes.

New York Skirt

I got this fabric in NY 3 years ago and finally did something with it! I love the length of this skirt. I also love the wide waist band, it's so comfortable and it gives a simple skirt a little style.
