Show and Tell

This is the necklace and braclet Cortney made at our beginner beading
class last night. I thought being outside it would show the beautiful
colors, but alas the camera just doesn't do it justice *sigh*
We also learned how to make ear rings, but ran out of time.
There is a better picture below( 3rd), at least it shows the color better

This is the necklace and bracelet I made. I'm not a jewelry person, so
thought that smaller beads were better. The main beads are Mother
of pearl and then crystal beads and silver spacers to offset it. It's 200%
more beautiful than the picture shows, and that is credit to the
beautiful beads not my work.


Here the color is better of Cortney's, but still not doing it it's full justice.

The result of the rhubarb in the 5 gallon bucket. We made this pan of

crisp and plan to make rhubarb sauce and can it, with the remainder.

Rhubarb is an acquired taste and we tend to like ours on the tart side,

so we don't overload it with sugar.

Rhubarb, like dandelion greens is a good Spring tonic to cleanse your

liver. Most likely, it is best eaten raw, provided you can stand it that

way! *LOL*

Shows the bags full, these are gallon size. We've stored them for a

few days, until we have time to make and can the sauce. I need to bring

up a couple dozen pint jars, my waterbath canner, lids and needed

items. Sure wish the strawberries were ripe, we'd make Strawberry

Rhubard jam and pie, YUMMMMMM.....! The strawberries are just

now beginning to bloom and I have first dibs on the biggest ripe one

I can find! *wink*
