Learning How To Balance

My husband and I made - homemade red pepper flakes today.  They are SCREAMING HOT.... but I like 'em! From husband's Facebook post earlier today: My dad had a Hispanic neighbor give him some "really hot" pepper plants. They turned into a bumper crop! Now, he has (no exaggeration...) THOUSANDS of tiny red hot peppers. And, these little fella's are INSANE hot! So, we're drying some out in the oven at a low temperature and we intend to run them through the food processor (outside) and make our own red pepper flakes. If it doesn't work.... we can try something else. Peppers are everywhere in Dad's garden.  

 These seem very simple... while there may be more to the "secret" than  just these...it's a great place to start!! No matter where you are starting from know that: ***************************************** Hobbies & Creations I ♥ the idea of "upcycling" - reusing things to make other things!  Check these ideas out... so cool! To start a garden inside - use juice cartons! Reuse old t-shirts - these are SUPER easy to make!! And who doesn't have old t-shirts stuffed in drawers that you could accessorize with??

Here's the latest paracord bracelet I made. I love the designs of Chelsea Carroll! She has created some AWESOME bracelets! Check out her website !

Paracord bracelets are one of the lastest trends in jewelry/DIY projects.  So I thought I would try it out....while I like the project, the bracelet is a lil stiff.  I'd like to try it with the less hefty cord.  I used #550 and I saw at Michael's there is a #330 but I can't seem to find much of it on-line so .... the saga continues.  :) Here's the final product:

Just finished this wrap bracelet up Monday night.... I've had this one for a little while.... Finished this set last night!

This was a mess of a project.... started out as a wrap around scarf.  I had bought a bag of yarn at the local thrift store for $1.50!!!  6 skeins of yarn for $1.50!!!!!  So I started making just a little wrap around accessorizing scarf - but I ran out of the blue.... so my husband suggested - why don't you add another color to each end and just make a normal winter scarf.  I started adding purple to one end - but did too much.... so I connected each end making a loop but then I saw this pin (adding a wrap with a button)  on Pinterest and thought...I can do that!   Then voila ....
