Dreamy Hard-boiled Eggs (IP)

First, a little housekeeping. Although Papa and I continue to be working on do-it-yourself projects, we have been lax in posting those. Projects, especially interesting ones, do increase as the holidays get closer, so we post again.

Several models are available
This is the 7-in-1 6 qt. duo

I was introduced to the Instant Pot, an electric pressure cooker, about two years ago. I dappled with a few recipes, mainly pot roast, but didn't get hooked until this past year. Several friends have now become converts and I have a collection of go-to recipes. It's time to share.

Upscale a Bear

Looking for a cute personalized gift? Personalize a stuffed animal. Young and old, stuffed animals provide a great cuddle buddy and a source of comfort. We give several stuffed animals to seniors at Christmas time.

Christmas Stockings

When making 46 Christmas stockings, a good process helps make fun, attractive stockings without taking a massive amount of time, or expense.

The expense was reasonable (about $.65/stocking) for burlap and flannel, plus using Christmas material in my stash for the heal and toe appliqué. The body of the stocking is burlap, on sale, and the lining and cuff are different colors (red, green, blue, white) flannel, also on sale PLUS the additional 25% off coupon. Love coupons!

Dinner Scarf (Adult Bib)

A box was delivered. You grab a scissors and cut through the tape, open the box and pull out the stuffing and enjoy your new toy. Don't overlook the extra "gifts" you received. As a child, I was reminded frequently, "Waste not, want not." That waded up paper stuffing is a big example (we'll talk about boxes in a future post).
