I have been canning a LOT lately
tonight..... while i type......I am waiting for 15 jars of beef cubes to come to pressure so i can time it
I canned this with red wine, onions, mushrooms and garlic.....
I will be canning the chicken breasts tomorrow the same way....
and also making some jars of meatballs and meat loaf
as well as watermelon pickles
we also have to clean the chicken coop and I am knitting wristlets with beads for a class I am giving at the yarn store
btw,
the yarn store wants me to knit a bunch of different things for october classes
and I am out of ideas
I am currently teaching mittens.... ( saturday is one of the first mitten classes)
and the beaded wristlets along with my sock classes and two beginner lace.....

ReplyDeleteand the food sounds delish!
Hi,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all don't be scared about the Glucophage. My mom's diabetic and it took a long time to get her medication working for her instead of against her. Doc took her off the Glucophage for awhile, then finally got her dosage for the Glucophage + other meds right. I just don't want you to get all ultra-scared, cause my mom was, but it all worked out in the end.
On to ideas! I'm full of them, but just a few, and do whatever you like of course :)
~Lace Headbands! I never see them. Why not? So pretty, good practice for lace, and they keep your hair out of your eyes:D
~Dickies. Stitch pattern doesn't matter, but since it's kind of a small section of sweater, but without the sizing restrictions, dickies could be a lot of fun and good practice. Also, though they're not always popular, they're pretty ingenious, not unlike fingerless gloves and gauntlets. Sometimes it's too cold to go sweaterless, but a form-fitting jacket gets in the way of a full on sweater.
~Student designed cosmetic bags/coin purses/little purses(just some small bags yeah?). Break out the graph paper, and to each her/his own. It offers tons of practice. Practice reading charts, practice counting stitches, practice increasing and decreasing; it's all good! Oooh and fun with drawing yep-yep.
Hope my ideas aren't too far out there.
