Here are some "home -ecky" style accomplishments I've had in the last several months. If you know me, you know I am sewing machine-retarded, and lack most kitchen skills. So I proudly call them accomplishments :)



Bibs and lap/car seat quilts for a friends twinners (I got help from Liz)



Boy bibs. For Colton & Murphy (again, help from Liz - she's my super-smart seamstress sister)


Apple sauce

and dried apple chips


made from these


canned pears

from these


canned peaches

from trees

I know this seems like nothing, but holy-time consuming! I can't believe my mom used to bottle every fruit off every tree, juggling 7 kids, Stake Relief Society president, a less than helpful husband (sorry, dad -LOVE YA- best dad in the universe! But less helpful to wifey when you work all day and run your own business at night:) Crazy. Anyhoo... I really hope to get a little smarter every year. One day it will be super easy, right!?
