Farmers Almanac Dandelion Jelly

First Batch, April 2017

"Jelly made from dandelions is similar in taste to spring honey. Try making some of your own with this recipe!"

I was skeptical - but it truly does taste like honey!

INGREDIENTS
1 quart dandelion blossoms
2 quarts water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 package (1 3/4 oz) powdered fruit pectin
5 1/2 cups sugar

INSTRUCTIONS
Pick the dandelion blossoms and rinse thoroughly. Snip stem and green collar.
Boil petals in 2 quarts water for 3 minutes. Cool and strain, pressing petals with fingers to extract juice.
Measure out 3 cups of dandelion liquid. Add lemon juice and powdered fruit pectin. Bring mixture to a boil (large jelly kettles work best for this).
Add sugar, stirring to mix well. Continue stirring and boil mixture for 2 ½ minutes.
Pour into small glasses and cover with paraffin when jelly is cool. Enjoy!

(I processed mine in a water bath for 10 minutes, instead of the paraffin. )

Fonts With Tails (Glyphs) Cheat Sheet

Glyphs are extra characters in fonts. For fonts like Samantha (a paid font - there is no free version) you have to use a character map to access the extra swirls. There are a few fonts, such as I Love Glitter, where you can quickly add swirls (nothing as ornate as Samantha, but still pretty!) just by adding a few characters such as * \ [ ] or (). I call them "easy glyphs". Download all four of these cheat sheets as a pdf file, here. If that link does not work (too much traffic) Try This One. Links to download each font are found under the photos.

What Do I Need To Get Started With A New Cricut?

Which Cricut Should I Buy? I use the Cricut Air 2. The Maker, which is the model newer than the Air 2, will also cut light wood, and fabric without bonding attached. (the air 2 will cut fabric if you use an iron on bonding material on it) That was the only real difference I know of, and I don't need to cut light wood, so I went with the Air 2. I probably would have been fine with the Air. I think, from what I have heard discussed on facebook groups, the only real difference is the speed - the Air 2 cuts faster. Cricut has a comparison of all of their current models here: https://help.cricut.com/help/cricut-explore-difference What Else Do I Need ? 1. Facebook groups and Youtube. Because the Cricut does not come with ANY instructions. Nada. There is one sample project included - a simple card. And it's amazing to see the machine make it. But when it's done... You will need to search out what you want to learn. Pinterest is also helpful, for ideas. But you will

Using VLR To Remove HTV - Fixing A Cricut Fail

Cliff Notes: Buy VLR - Amazon is the only place I know of to find it. Apply to the back of the fabric. Stretch the fabric. Peel off the htv. Super easy. Worked great! I love this pillow (second from the left), despite my mistakes in not welding the pumpkins to the truck... But my husband and I did not get married in 1993. That's when our twins were born. We got married in 1991. Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking either. :-) VLR is something I had heard mentioned a few times on different facebook groups, so when I placed my last amazon order, I added a can to my order. It has sat on the shelf ever since. I was intimidated by it. Today, Design Space was down. (Still is, actually...) so it was a good time to try the VLR. My first challenge was opening it. Although I knew it couldn't actually be aerosol, when I saw I had to puncture the top (which the label says is plastic, but sounds more like metal when tapped) it made me nervous to use a hammer and nail.
