Idea Girl

Tween made a grosgrain ribbon headband yesterday, bookmarks and a bracelet today. She has so many creative ideas and really is acting on them.

Mama made a deadline. There was some creativity in that. Squeezed in a few rows of knitting and painted another coat of fabric paint on the stenciled tee, cut yesterday.

Yesterday also held a conversation with the pectin expert who clearly knows how to troubleshoot canning issues. New knowledge: there is a point of too much sugar with this product, and overheating the pectin kills the gelling action. Mama likely did both of these, at least 3 times over. There may be no saving the gel, so the un-jam will become a sauce in the fridge. Seems this type of pectin may require substantial math skills...and we're all about The Arts here, folks.
