One Down, One to Go!
I finished # 14 of #15 last night!!! Just one more and I will have met the Crazy January challenge...By the way, I haven't even updated....is there a blog for these?? I have totally forgotten!
I really enjoyed this piece as well....these past few have been my favorites by far! Maybe because autumn is my favorite time of year?
I am starting a SAL next week with 3 dear online friends. Am I nuts? Well, yes! I guess I don't have enough projects going already. But hey, it is obvious that I can finish what I start!!!!
I forgot to mention, this is finish #34 for the year.
When we were in Amish Country a couple weeks ago, I bought a jar of jam that looked wonderful. It was called "traffic jam". I thought it had a cute name, for a jam that looked very tasty.....I was NOT disappointed!!! When I made my raspberry pie crust last week, I had extra scraps of crust. I always bake them up & eat them with grape jelly on them. Well, this time, I decided to try the jam on them...oh my!!!! At that point, I KNEW I had to find a recipe for it. Try finding TRAFFIC JAM in an online search! HA!!!! So, I improvised! I looked at the ingredients listed on the jar....easy enough.....I bought some powdered pectin & all of the necessary fruits & away I went!!!!! I spent Friday morning making jam. I got 28 half pint jars of this lovely, scrumptious jam..... and gee, silly me didn't take any pictures....
The name of this jam has my mind thinking.....what other types could I come up with???? I also saw TOE Jam listed, FROG Jam......hum...we shall see!!
Thanks for stopping by... it is such a pleasure to see happy comments!! Have a great week!!

Love your stitching. And the Jam sounds real yummy.
I love these fall patterns. What design? LHN?? I think I will have to stitch these someday.
A lovely finish.
Door Jam - window jam? Love November! Do you have a pop out frame for these or are you framing each separately?
Ready for the sale yet?
Congratulations Shari, on all of your finishes! WOW....what an acomplishment to have almost completed the challenge.
Your stitching is beautiful. I also love autumn.
I'll have to look for the jam at my Amish market. They are always good. I'll bet your homemade version beats that!
