Valentine Pillows

I thought that I would share another Valentines project that I did.  I made these pillows, I have two of them for the couch.   I cut the hearts out of felt and sewed them onto burlap with fabric behind it, then made them into pillows.  It went by relatively fast.

Be Mine Blocks

I thought that I would share these.  I made these a couple of years ago they were very simple to make, all I did was paint the blocks and then drew the letters on and filled them in with glue and glitter.  Enjoy!

Preserving the Harvest: Drying Pineapple

It is that time of year when pineapples are cheaper and really good to eat.  I thought that I would try drying one and see how it turned out.  Here is what I did:

First I cut off the top and bottom, then cut the skin off but very thin so I didn't lose a lot of the "meat" of the pineapple.

Then of cut off each side around the hard middle part of the pineapple, then cut those sides into small equal sized chunks.

 Then I started spreading them out on the trays.

One regular sized pineapple filled three trays. 

Then let them dry until your desired dryness.  I did ours for about 7 hours.  Enjoy, it is yummy.
