My week in a canning jar!



Ok, the old saying is "my week in a nut shell" but my week can be summed up in a canning jar!!!
On Monday, I did my grape jelly. I got 25 jars of yummy fresh, grape jelly for this winter.
On Wed., I did my peach jam. I think I got about 20 jars of that...they are small little jars.
Yesterday, I did my applesauce. I got 12 pints of pretty pink applesauce for the winter.
I think our garden is about done, so I am probably done with tomatoes & salsa, but you never know! I have PLENTY of salsa made for winter.
On the stitching front, I have two finishes to show. The first one is a small exchange piece I did for one of my groups. We were sent the blank mini clip board & we were to decorate it however we would like. I put a magnet on the back of mine & a ribbon on the end. I stitched pansies, because I read that my partner loves pansies!
I have also finished my ornament for the month of Sept. I stitched O Christmas Tree by Follow the Leader Designs. It was in the 2007 issue of JSC ornaments. I made it into a floss tag. These little things are addicting! I love them!!!
Now, I am back to working on Kathy's neighborhood RR house!!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone & thank you so much for stopping by & for leaving a comment. Your kind words mean the world to me!!!!

Shari, I'm coming over to get my jars. LOL! Nice stitching as always and it sounds like that would be a neat exchange. How does the buiding RR work?

The finishes look great. I'm trying to tell myself I don't need to make any floss tags but I'm not listening. :o) I know I'll break down.
Any chance you would want to share your canned tomatoes, salsa (yum!) and applesauce recipes and canning directions? I have never canned but have thought about it a lot. :o)
Hugs, Elaine

Yep, I'm hungry now! I've always been a bit envious of folks who can so efficiently!

Nice finishes & I have never seen the mini clip board thing. How cute! I wish I lived closer to help you store some of the jars at my place, lol.
