Pint jar crisis averted!!! I’ve had water in my basement 2 times this year and everything down there is a disaster- boxes stacked on tubs. Long story short - found some 😁

20/08/2024

I have a few batches left to make, but I think I will make them all quarts. I believe I am about 75% done and have many pints made in all heat levels, but after buying 36 pint jars (and using what I had, plus a gift of a doz.) I’m done with pints.
If you don’t mind getting a combo of both (if you just ordered pints) or don’t care if you get all quarts, please message me.
Thanks.

Yep, working on salsa again this morning- 10 batches in….

15/08/2024

To all my salsa orders, be aware this isn’t like pretzel bites or chocolates where I can just buy more. I have to wait until my tomatoes and peppers ripen. Some orders may take awhile.

13/08/2024

Hate to do this…. But not sure I can take any more salsa orders…. I’ll let you know for sure🤯

13/08/2024

ORDERS ARE CLOSED FOR NOW
🤯🤯🤯
Salsa orders are open!!!
Unfortunately I am raising my prices. Since I started in 2020, prices have increased around 20% 😬.
My new prices are $3.50 for pints and $7.00 for quarts. Please let me know the heat level (1,2,3) and size pint/quart.
I will fill orders in the order I see them. Hopefully I can accommodate everyone 🤞🏼
(As usual, if I get old jars back, I can keep my cost/price down since I don’t have to buy new jars which are ~$1 a piece).
Thanks

Batch #3

12/08/2024

Salsa has started, if you have any of my jars you don’t want, you are more than welcome to put them on my deck. I have a feeling I’ll be needing them. I’d offer to pick them up, but I have a feeling I am going to be busy.
I’ll make a separate post for orders.

Just finished a custom order - shelves needed to be 20x20, distance between shelves 13 inches, the back needed to be open to allow cords, and top has to hold a mini fridge. I think I met all the requirements. I even added trim to the shelves to cover the rough edges.

If you’re thinking Christmas and want something homemade, personalized, you have 5 months. I will soon be busy with salsa then a break and it’ll be ‘chocolate’ season

People that have ordered from me- If I sign up for this, suggestions of things I should make?

When you’re a cook and an amateur woodworker trying to keep slats vertical until the glue dries…use what you have 😂🤣😂

15/02/2024

The end is VERY near!! Tomorrow morning finishing cheese sauces and then deliveries!!
If you haven’t received your order yet, thank you for being patient. Life really got in the way this year

07/02/2024

Ugh… I hate to do this, but looks like NL peeps that don’t want for the Super Bowl may have to wait until next week. I lost 4 days due to being Grma with sick kiddos, and my cheese inventory is WAY less than I thought.
Sorry

07/02/2024

NL peeps that ordered pretzel bites does Wed or Thursday evening work better for delivery? **not including those who work at NLCSD. ***

07/02/2024

I’ll be messaging people who specifically stated they wanted by the Super Bowl tonight.

05/02/2024

I may be behind on contacting people for deliveries, I’m taking care of sick grandbabies 😢

02/02/2024

Looking good and smelling oh so delicious.
You can still order

A Little about Me

After being a teacher since 1987, I have decided it is time for a change. I enjoy making ‘things’ with my hands, quite a variety of things actually. I usually just make these ‘things’ for my family and friends, but I am going out on a limb to see if anyone else would be interested in my work.

When I was little, I would crochet with one of my grandmothers, and I would do embroidery with my other grandmother. Also, my mother taught me how to sew when I was little since she was always making me clothes. I guess the creative gene runs deep with the females in my family.

With the changing times, however, more people are focused on other things than learning traditional hobbies, or maybe there was never an opportunity to learn. With that said, I feel I can offer some useful and unique, homemade products.
