product 3: wire rings

Since I saw these on etsy and Pinterest, I have been wanting to make these. I found a great tutorial here. Please check it out and you can make your own. If you're not interested in making your own, you can contact me with a design you have in mind and I can try to create it for you :).

These will also be sold at the Tilley Christmas Fair on November 5th in Tilley. I'm really excited!!

product 2: baking bags

In September, my in-laws traveled to Nova Scotia to visit their son, my brother-in-law, Kevin at St. Francis Xavier University. When they returned, they came to visit Jeremy and I in our new home and they brought me a "Baked Potato Bag". I had never seen one before (although further research online proved that they have been around for a while). My MIL said, "I thought these would be neat and maybe you could figure out how to make them." Well, did I ever learn how to make them!

After much fabric shopping, trial and error, seam ripping, and frustration, I have so far made a total of 17 "Baking Bags" which consists of 12 large bags and 5 mini bags (I've added more since the photo was taken). I have called them "Baking Bags" because apparently, you can also make sweet potatoes and well as corn on the cob in them.

I will be selling these at the Tilley Christmas Fair. I'm excited to see how they go over!!

** UPDATE ** I'm done sewing all of them. I took individual photos but below is just all of them together. I wish the photo was better but that's what happens when you take them at night with fluorescent lighting and an iPhone. I'll get a better one at the Hall on Saturday!

** UPDATE 2 ** Some people have asked me what Baking Bags are. These are essentially pockets that you can make the perfect baked potato in the microwave in. The larger bags you can put 2-4 potatoes in and the smaller ones you can fit 1-2 potatoes depending on size.

To use the bag, wash a potato and either keep slightly damp or wrap in a paper towel that you use to dry the potato with. Put the potato in the Baking Bag (do NOT prick holes in potato) in the microwave. Microwave for 2-4 minutes checking every 30-45 seconds. This is just for 1 potato. You can also "bake" sweet potatoes, red potatoes, and even corn on the cob. Hope that clears things up.
