I canned jalapenos, hot salsa, and corn relish. My new item this year is candied jalapenos. We will see how they go over. The corn relish is my mom's recipe and I love it. It has a sweet and sour brine with corn, peppers, onions and celery. Type the word corn in the search bar at the top for the recipe.
I got a request for a bobble-head pattern. It is now listed in my Etsy shop. I will be working on another pattern for a bobble-head scarecrow later this week.
I have listed the rusty bed springs for sale on my Etsy shop as well.
I also finished a couple of bears. I like to make them out of unexpected fabrics and colors:
These are also for sale for only $10 each. They come complete with a little tag that says I love you, an organza bow, and eyeglasses.
I finally got around to working with one of the cutter quilts that my friend gave me. I made the following four ornies. I love the Victorian feel to them.
I will make more of the stocking and mitten. I have to revisit the star and the heart. Since it is a double thickness of quilted fabric, it was impossible to turn. I think I will simply back it with muslin so the edges can be turned.
I have two raggedies cut out but still incomplete as well as some ornies that need to be finished. I try to get all the painting and machine work completed during the day so that during the evenings I can do the hand stitching.
Today is my son, Scott's birthday. I am treating him to lunch. Actually, it is a treat for me as well. Love you Scott!
