Spoiled!! :)

Mom's Green Tomato Chow. YUM! We ate all the Mustard Pickles and Mustard Relish... LOL!

My Mom in law's Jellies and Jams.

Top view! YUM!
My Mom and Mom-in-law (MIL) are both wonderful cooks and like to make preserves. They provide us with " homemade with love" jellies, jams, pickles, and relishes EVERY year! Just have a look at this bounty!
Thanks Mom and Mom #2!!
(Also known as Cari and Chris)
The reason we took the pics is that we FINALLY organized the treats on a shelf so we can see what we have on hand. Whenever my in laws and parents plan a visit they ask what we need and I usually end up stuttering about it, not knowing for sure. Well, NOW we KNOW! The catalyst for this is that MIL and FIL are coming to visit tomorrow from Riverview and when Pete talked on the phone with them they asked what we needed cin terms of jam/ jelly/etc.... As you can tell from the pics, we are ALL set! LOL
Spoiled I tell ya!

Have a Great day! ~

Part 2: What can you do with an old pair of jeans?

Idea #2: Make a Utensil Pocket for a Trip!


Yesterday, Kate (15) travelled to Toronto with Evangeline Pony Club for the 75th Anniversary of Pony Club in Canada! That was her first time on a commercial aircraft!

The group of 9 (6 youth, 3 chaperones) were planning to eat breakfast in the hotel and take along healthy packed lunches or salads as they would be travelling around Toronto as well as attending the Royal Winter Fair!



Because of the breakfasts and lunches, Kate needed some utensils: a knife, fork and spoon to take along with her. Instead of throwing them in the suitcase loose, I made her a little denim utensil pocket to take safely along.



I used some scrap denim from a pair of old jeans and stiched it up. The I added a tie made of Nova Scotia Tartan bias tape. This way the packet could be tied shut.


TIP: I needed something fast and bias tape doesn't fray, so I used that!


Here are some pics!


(1)



The utensil pocket: empty



(2)



Loaded pocket- Ready to go!



(3)
Tied closed, ready to pack and travel!!

Thanks for reading another recycled jeans idea! Kate loved this little pocket, by the way!

Part I~ What can you do with an old pair of jeans?

Here is one GREEN idea!

Just the first "blogged-about-recycling jeans-idea" of the many that we have used over the years to recycle jeans into useful items!

FIRST, never throw out ANY old jeans! Wash them, dry, and store near your mending or fabric supplies. I also usually use a sharp pair of scissors to cut out and set aside the 2 back pockets. Save them for other crafts.


IDEA #1 SIMPLE "SUPER MARIO" SUSPENDERS!!

Let's Make some fun "Mario" overalls for a kids' costume! LOL We will use the old jeans to make suspenders.

Daniel (9) wanted to be "Mario" (a character from the Super Mario Bros games) for Halloween. We needed denim overalls, but we didn't have any! We had NO friends the same size with overalls to lend, so I had to make a pair of "overalls" for him!

I will post a li'l info here on how we made them from a pair of OLD jeans... Very "green" and I think it will interest a lot of you! LOL

I knew I needed long strips of heavy fabric that I could double to make the overalls' "suspenders."

a) I laid the jeans on my floor and began a slit with the scissors, starting at the bottom..

b) I ripped up along the whole length of the jeans, starting at the slit I had made. Did this twice until I had a LONG strip.... oh, about 4" wide and as long as I could get it. (Depends on the length of your jeans. These were 30" length, a pair that belonged to an adult. If they were jeans belonging to a child, you would have to piece them until you had the length you needed to go over the child's shoulders as a pair of suspenders would. Measure as you go by trying the length of the suspenders "on" the child.)

I repeated the process to create another 4" wide, long narrow strip.

TIP: The old 30" length adult jeans ended up making the perfect-length suspenders for a 9 year old boy.

c) Leave the jean hems intact on the lower end of the strips, don't bother cutting them off.

d) Get your sewing machine threaded up with matching thread-- use navy, very dk brown or black b/c it works well on denim as far as colour goes. Loosen the presser foot a bit. (Jean fabric is heavy.)

NOTE: To be "green," I try to use up spools and bobbins of thread that are close to being gone. My Mom saves hers for me!

e) 5/8 " from the raw edge, use a medium zigzag stitch to zoom up one side and down the other of each strip of fabric. This is just one way of finishing the edges. This is done on a SINGLE layer of fabric.

f) Then trim about 1/4" from the zigzag using sharp scissors.

g) Now fold the long denim pieces IN HALF lengthwise, WRONG SIDES TOGETHER. Pin if you wish (I didn't.)

h) Using a medium-length straight stitch on your sewing machine, stitch the long narrow piece of folded denim lengthwise along one edge and across the two ends to seal them off. Trim neatly, close to the stitching as seen here.

i) Try suspenders on the child- have him wear an older (not his BEST) pair of jeans. Pin the suspenders in place on the jeans. Be sure you check that the suspenders are long enough. Cross them in back. Secure them to show just where they need to be secured. Mark where the child wants the decorative yellow buttons placed.

TIP: Use a safety pin to secure the suspenders in place. The safety pin won't "poke" the child.

j) I then used some strong Koban thread to stitch the suspenders in place, front and back. Use a strong needle and a thimble if you like...the fabric is tough to go thru- several layers.

TIP: This stitching is temporary and the suspenders can be removed from the pr of jeans the child is wearing after the costume is done with.

Or: If you like, the "overalls" can be put in the Dress-up bin for playtime.

k) Stitch on some big yellow buttons.

l) Try on the jeans with suspenders in place. There you go: Pretend "overalls!"

m) Add a good-sized red "M" in a white semi circle to your child's red ballcap. It is Mario's ballcap, now!

TIP: I used a monogram letter "M" from my alphabet letters stash, but I needed the letter to be RED! ! Applied glue stick, then red paper (cardstock) to the right side of the letter. Flipped it over and cut around the letter "M." There: RED!! Glued red M to a white semicircle of cardstock.

n) Apply red M to a white semi circle with gluestick. Glue semi circle to front of ball cap.

TIP: Use double sided tape to do this- mine came from the Dollar Store


n) Put on a red t-shirt or sweater.

TIP: Shirt first- THEN face painting, for obvious reasons!


o) Paint face like Mario's. We used Folk Art acrylic paint in #925, Wrought Iron and a medium sized flat paint brush.

TIP: Remind your kiddo, no giggling! The painting TICKLES! (Giggling is fine, I was just KIDDING! LOL)

Carla's Question....

My friend Carla, one of the three sisters who began "Sisterhood of Scrap" Blog and Forum, ALWAYS asks the BEST questions!

Thanks for the great questions, Carla- you really make me think!

On Nov 5, Carla's question to us was:

If you could write some advice to a "younger " you, what advice would you give??

Here is my response to this...

Dear Ali...

Give up on the perfectionism early in your young adulthood- it's well worth it!

Remember you will eat your words sometimes.

Never say "never."

You will surprise yourself.

"It is what it is." Never let it get you down.

Be someone people can trust. It's important.

Weigh the pros and cons, make a decision and then move forward. Don't over-analyze.

TRUST YOUR INTUITION, you are USUALLY RIGHT.

Be a leader although it's a lot easier to follow.

Relax, it will be OK.Breaking new ground is hard and you will HATE IT but it has its' rewards.

Find something you love to do and throw your heart & soul into it. It will be a HUGE help for you in so many ways.

Remember the value of praise- it can make a difference to almost anyone.

Sometimes, what's important today will NOT be important three days from now.

If something seems like a disaster to you right now- remember that in two years, you will LAUGH about it.

Do the right thing even if it hurts.

Advocate- because they need you.

Teach- because you are pretty good at answering questions.

Don't be afraid- you will never "stop" nursing. It's a part of who you are.

It's a lot more sparkly in real life.

Used my Uhu Glue Roller: A review...

I was lucky to be in contact with UHU (Thanks to my good friend Deanne Burton) and received a free sample of their UHU Glue Roller to try out and review. I chose to try it out while creating some Christmas cards for a client.
Christmas card designed and made by "Yours Truly" using Uhu Glue Roller as the adhesive


I have NEVER had a glue roller (tape roller) that didn't gunk up, "stall" and get all clogged and stuck. I have tried pretty much every known brand including those from Scotch and Creative Memories. NO LUCK.

This is by far the best glue roller I have ever used and I unhesitatingly recommend it to anyone needing a good adhesive. Great stuff, acid free, and the dispenser is of an excellent function and design- it was sooo easy to use. I've used it on large and small areas with no problems, as you can see on these Christmas Cards:


I've been super busy with "The Perfect Card...." my card creating business over the past month. I've been making an amazing number of cards for my clients! So much fun! Above and below are some cards I designed & made. This product definitely sped up the gluing process for me! Time is valuable and this tool met the mark on that issue!

More Christmas cards:


Thanks for peeking and be sure to get that Uhu Glue Roller!

**I will be looking for it on the Uhu display at the store where I shop! **

"Crooked Trees" Tags Tutorial: Using Scraps!

I just love the look of what I call "Crooked Tree Gift Tags!"
I make them solely from scraps!
Here is a fun and easy way to use up some scraps and help get ready for Christmas Gift wrapping time...
SCRAPPY TIP: Kids would really enjoy this easy idea too!

Crooked Tree Gift Tag Tutorial
You'll need:
-Scrap of ribbon or yarn- 5-6" long
-Small scraps of CS and Patt paper, does NOT have to be Christmas-y
-2 larger scraps of pp or CS (These will become front and back of tag. You choose size. I recommend 1 scrap of each.)
-Possibly your trimmer, depending on size of your chosen cs/pp tag scrap
-Glue stick
-Hole punch
-Corner rounder or corner punch
-ink
-scissors
Here's what to do.
1. Choose a piece of scrap CS and a piece of scrap PP. Here I chose a leftover pcs of BasicGrey "Dasher" CS and a piece of Generations patterned paper. They are green and red and coincidentally, both have a pattern but it is subtle.



2. Next, glue-stick the 2 pieces together.
3. I then trimmed the red piece off from around the green. I used scissors for this step but I could have used my trimmer. Your choice!

4. As you can see here, I punched a hole in the top of what is to be my gift tag.




6. Then, I used a CM fancy corner punch on the bottom 2 corners, and the Cm Corner rounder on the top two corners. I've also shown here a Fiskars corner punch one could use. It's called "Heritage" has 3 corner choices on it.



6. Ink the edges well. I'm showing the green side here.


7. Tag now is inked and has had its' corners "done." It looks like this:
8. Take your scissors, and cut some triangles slightly "off" - use patterned paper. Different shades of burgundy, reds and greens ar nice. Once in awhile choose a solid.
Scraps shown here are from Accord, BasicGrey, Fancy Pants and Dream Street Designs.

SCRAPPY TIP: Use the straight edge of your scrap as one side of the triangle when you cut!! This makes cutting a SNAP!

9. Use a Kraft, burgundy, or brown scrap of CS and cut small rectangles or "squarish" shapes "trunks" for your trees. Anything goes!

10. Assemble trees, glue in place and add a ribbon or some yarn as a tie or accent. You can decorate BOTH sidea of tag and add a "to:" and "from:" as well. There you go!! A Crooked Tree Gift Tag made totally from scraps!!

Here are some other Crooked Tree Gift Tags I've made from scraps. All they need are ribbon or yarn added as ties.

Have a wonderful day and please do share the link with me if you make any "Crooked Tree Gift Tags!" I will visit your blog or Gallery and leave a comment!!

She's Ours!!

Grace, AKA "Goodness Gracious!" is now ours for sure. the 2 week trial is over and the sale has been completed. Kate is over the moon excited as are we. Grace is a fast learner, can jump, and has a wonderful temperament. She's just what Kate needed, and at 16.3hh, Kate would have to be 8 feet tall to outgrow her! Phew! LOL!
Above is a photo of them riding...

Had an email from Oakley's new family down near Halifax and she is doing super well there. They go see her and ride her almost every day. She had TWO little girls to love her now! Oakley apparently has a stall with a HUGE window and she loves it. In the spring, when the new barn is all done, she will move to a stall where she can go in and out at will. LOL! You earned it Miss Oakley. Wonderful girl.

Welcome Grace! We have already fallen in love with you.
