YOP Week #17

This was a busy but cozy week!  It rained towards the end of the week so I had my first fire in the fireplace.............it was perfect....just enough  to take the dampness out of the house.

Meanwhile I "baked and maked"............I tried using my Instant Pot for the first time and was making bone broth but it wasn't working right for me so I ended up making it on the stove.  I'm not sure if it's the IP or the novice operator.  I was using a recipe off the internet but I think I will use a recipe out of the book they give you for my first time.  I hope there is nothing wrong with the IP............

Now that I bought this one they have come out with a beautiful one by Pioneer Woman...if I'd only known!

Here's my burner method bone broth......

 I got 6 cups of broth from one chicken carcass.........I lay the bags flat in the freezer and they don't take up much room that way.

Miss Peeps was supervising...........

I also made pulled pork in the crock pot, coleslaw and cinnamon crisp cookies.  While things were cooking I was sewing!  Finally!  I made 3 Halloween pillowcases for the grands..........

 I also made 2 more mini-pumpkins but they need the ribbon put on them still.........

 I have not made the gloves yet either but today for sure as they are being mailed tomorrow!

I did finish all 8 of Nature's Walk CAL step #2 and I have started on Blaithin CAL step #2

I still have a few ends to weave in.............but not too many............

I did very little cross stitch this week except some work on Stars and Stripes Saturday.........

 That's all for this week folks!  I hope you are enjoying your Sunday!

Happy Trails!!!
