Busy Monday

These are the tomatoes that I decided to make into tomato sauce. Our garden has been plentiful this year and I thought that I would can some of it to prolong our enjoyment. This is my first canning experience...I hope it works!!

The hot water bath, before the ice bath...to peel the skin from the tomates....it really works!!

The directions I followed.

The peeled, cut, and drained tomatoes...

The tomato sauce reducing....

This is four of the eight jars I made....

While I was typing this I started to hear the jars pop...I hope this means I did it right!!!

This is my little diva...she is wearing her Auntie's sunglasses!! Isn't she just the cutest!!!!

Today

So far today has been pretty good. I have almost finished a Christmas stocking that I am making for my children, all I have left to do is put on a hanger. It truned out really cute for my first real "quilting" project. I have only completed one so I need to get busy on the second one. What do you think?

Just starting..

Hello all,

I am new to two worlds here...Blogging and Quilting. You see my MIL quilts and I love her work and it has inspired me to start myself. Dangerous habit I know :). I am also new to blogging so bare with me as I learn how to do things on here. If you have any suggestions please feel free to inspire!! Thanks!
