Latest Projects

A friend from church invited us to come over and pick pears. While there, she gave me a copy of her Pear Honey recipe. When we got home, we couldn't wait to make it. It was our first time to can something. The kids were eager to help and we made 12 jars plus 2 containers for our fridge. It is DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!! It is great on biscuits, toast, and pancakes!

I also made a matching skirt to go with M's cross shirt. She was SOOO proud!
