Our Wedding and Honeymoon Videos

Here are some videos I made of our Civil Wedding and Honeymoon.

I have yet to make our Church Wedding, but that's a big project.

Enjoy...

Civil Wedding

Honeymoon in Vancouver BC

Thank you for visiting!

Current Craft Area

This is my current craft room. It`s in the basement of our home.

I like it, but I plan on painting the walls soon and putting up some

shelves, paintings and maybe a board.

This is my latest project: Christmas Stockings.

They didn`t come out as I wanted because I free-handed the sock outline, but it`s OK. I like them enough to keep them. They are for my boys; Kacper and Dominik.

Apple Compot for the Winter

Here is a look at how I jar my apples for the winter.

It makes for a deliciously healthy winter drink.

Just dump the jar contents in a jug and add water (I love it hot, so boiling water).

Add sugar as you like, but there is sugar in the jars already.

First and foremost you MUST sterilize the jars and jar lids. I use jars from tomatoe sauces and pickles, so they aren`t new, but even new one`s must be sterilized.

 Next (or during),  peel the apples.

 Then I core them with my apple corer, which conventiently cuts them into perfect pieces.

 Then I put them all in a huge pot of boiling water with sugar, cinnamon and cloves. Then I jar them. It is very important that the jar rim and jar lid is completely dry, so that the hot steam suction will work and close the jars completely.

 And ofcourse, what`s a homemade Apple Compot without cute covers... the first one I made was sewn by me, but then I found these cute polka dot napkins and decided to use those with some string. Cuteness!

Well I hope you find this helpful and put your apples to good use for this winter. Smacznego!

Our New Interlocking

Finally!

I've been waiting all summer for this...

Still a bit of work to do ofcourse
but that will be after winter...
plants, a new step or two and maybe a small bench or something.

Halloween and Pumpkin Farm

I know these pictures are a month late,

but I've been so busy and my internet

has been super slow, so it was tough to upload.
