I have never tried Chicken sausage.
(on purpose anyway….I’m sure that there has been some random chicken parts have been thrown into the usual cheepy hot dogs I buy at Wal-mart.)
But this is the first actual PACK of Chicken Sausage I bought, with the word Chicken written in larger then an 8pt font.
Anyway, to continue on [...]

Just trying to squeeze in another planet craft before we move on!
This on is a craft for children to learn about Jupiter, and more specifically, the weather on Jupiter.

I paired this up with a book called Destination Jupiter, which has lots of information about the planet Jupiter for [...]

It’s all put together now, I added in the fun frames that I made the other day, with a set of ribbon candles made from this gorgeous blue ribbon I picked up at Michaels.

I stuffed it all in a three tone basket (Grandma has a basket collection) that I picked up from there as well.

After a recent trip to Trader Joes (do you have one of those….they’re dangerous) I snaged these great items:

And I thought it would be fun to post how I use them all. most of them.
(…..I already scarfed down the Mango slices….)
Anyway, I’ll start it off with how I use the Whipping Cream:

I drew a winner for the knitting needles today, and it was comment #5 Jolanthe! who said:

Meanwhile, throw my name [...]

For my knitting needles ;)
Here is the ingeniously clever way I was storing them before:

And here is how they currently reside:

All thanks to this free tutorial I found online.
I’m so excited at how it turned out, would you believe that there was a time I considered paying $30 for one of these (not that it [...]

I’m so glad that I actually finished Monkey’s hat before the weather really gets cold. I don’t know how it started, but somehow it’s become tradition that instead of buying winter hats for the kids, I find some way to make them by hand. Most of the time that means I’m crocheting them, [...]
