Extra Eggs, How about making Pickled Eggs

Update: Just after 24 from the time of pickling I do a little taste test and Hubby says they are the best pickled eggs he's ever tested. After testing a few batches that I made and letting me know that something needs to be a bit different I'll take his word. Also said that I had better of wrote down the recipe so that I can make more 💋💋💓💓

Hi all you lovely crafters of the world.
Do you happen to have way to many eggs with no idea as to what to make with them.
How about pickling them. You can even use some beat juice to color them pretty.

Here is what I did to make my pickled eggs.  Needless to say until they set hard to say if I got this right. But if I do need to change something I shall do an update to this post.
I have been expermenting a little so I do know that I got the vinegar/water figured out but as for the rest.

Start off with making sure you have boiled your eggs long enough to be hard boiled. Where we live I find it best to boil eggs for pickling for about a 1/2 hr. The eggs are hard boiled by 10 minutes but I boil longer for picked eggs.

Make sure you have a sealable jar that is big enough for 18 eggs.

Pickled Eggs 18 Eggs
3 Cups white vinegar
1 Cup water
2 Tbsp Mrs. Dash Garlic and herb
2 Tbsp Sugar
1 tsp seasoning salt
1 onion thinly sliced

Put your cooled shelled eggs into jar.

In a pot put your vinegar, water, spices, onion and sugar.  Bring to a boil turn down so its a light boil and proceed to do light boil for 5 minutes. 

Let broth cool some so that you don't break the jar.  Pour over eggs, put on lid and move eggs to fridge. 

Let the eggs set for about a week (lets the flavor get into the eggs better)

Proceed to enjoy

Happy Crafting to all the wonderful crafters 

Trolls Trolls Trolls

Every where I seem to look there are troll items all over. The most popular being the Troll hat for kids. And is it ever cute.  It was even suggested to me by a friend to make some in our little town. So today I am off to make my first troll hat.  Hoping it turns out cause as you know I don't go by patterns I make my own as I go along.
There are going to be 2 different kind of troll hats that I plan on making.  There is going to be the full troll hat. And I am going to try and do up a Pony Tail Troll hat.  As I start this blog I haven't started to make them yet.  As I go write more, I will be building the hats. That way I can take pictures and post my progress. Okay. Lets start.

C2C corner to corner tutorial by Trelenberg Designs

Hi all wonderful crafters.
I do hope your having a wonderful day.
Today I share with you my newest pattern. C2C Country Cabin Baby Blanket. The video that is attached is one that will help you with the pattern should you need it.

 I still haven't figured out what kind of border I should do for this one. And I didn't put a border in the pattern as everyone has their own thoughts on it and it should be your own personal touch.

In the pattern I have also added pictures to show the stitches and how I went about doing the Corner to Corner.  I do hope it helps and that people enjoy making this blanket.

Without the border it measures approx 32x32 inches.  I am thinking of making bigger ones and putting my kids names on them so that they each have their very own blanket.




You can also find Step by Step Pictures HERE

This is personally only my second time doing the C2C and I like it as when you hit the half way mark it just keeps getting quicker then. Which is nice cause blankets do take a long time to make.

I do so hope you enjoy.
Happy Crafting
