"Lovie Lap Quilt" with Pockets
Jan. 31st, 2021 01:59 pmhttps://www.homesewnbycarolyn.com/lovie-lap-quilts.html?fbclid=IwAR2WhSLrymYlmhzNxZlI1HZ-ZpNU_gQkrfJA-b3zT_j0mncsIk53P2w3poo
I designed the "Lovie Lap Quilt" with Pockets after visiting my Grandmother in the nursing home. I noticed my Grandmother sitting on her hands a lot. She told me her hands were cold.
That is how I came up with the idea of a quilt with pockets. I made one through pocket to keep her hands warm and a second pocket for small items. My Grandmother kept her tissues and chapstick in the second pocket. The pockets are both lined in flannel as well as the back of the quilt. My grandmother also loved taking her Lovie Lap Quilt into the car when we would take her out. She would comment on how warm the quilt kept her especially the pockets for her hands.
Pattern available in paper or digital form.
She also has finished Lap Quilts for sale.

Birdseed Cakes
Jan. 31st, 2021 04:03 pmBirdseed Cakes
Boil a cup of water
Add 2 packets of gelatin
Stir forever until gelatin is fully "dissolved"
Take off from the heat for 2 mins, then pour into 2 cups of birdseed.
Mix, then press into the molds. Add a piece of straw to build birdseed around. Then shove some more in and press in harder.
Let stand for at least 2 hours, though the longer the better.
Pop out of mold, remove straw, insert twine to the leftover hole, and hang in trees or from porch or wherever.

Molds from Amazon

Microwave Boiled Eggs
Jan. 31st, 2021 05:45 pmMicrowave Boiled Eggs
https://justmicrowaveit.com/how-to-boil-eggs-in-the-microwave/
Ingredients
2-6 eggs
1/2 teaspoon of salt PER egg
enough water to cover 1/2 inch above the eggs
Instructions
1. Add 2 to 6 eggs in the bottom of a microwave safe bowl.
2. Cover the eggs with water at least 1/2 inch above the eggs.
3. Add a 1/2 teaspoon of salt for each egg such as 1 teaspoon for 2 eggs and 3 teaspoons for 6 eggs.
4. Microwave for 4 minutes for 2 eggs, 5 minutes for 4 eggs, 6 minutes for 6 eggs.
5. Fill another bowl with ice and water or cold water.
6. If you want soft boiled eggs with runny egg yolks, immediately remove the eggs from the water and plunge in a ice cold water.
7. If you want hard boiled eggs, allow them to stay in the hot water for 2-3 additional minutes. Two minutes will give you just slightly creamy egg yolks. Three minutes will give you firm egg yolks.
Notes
*It's safest to store boiled eggs unpeeled in the shell.
*Store HARD BOILED EGGS in the shell in a closed container with a paper towel up to a week.
*Store SOFT BOILED EGGS in the shell in a closed container for 1-2 days.

Keto Egg Salad

Extremely easy to make with simple ingredients, very creamy and so delicious.
Add avocado for extra creaminess. I am a huge fan of dill, and I always add it to the egg salad, but you can substitute it with parsley or chives.
