Remember when I was telling you all about how I stopped to crochet, right in the middle of cleaning up my messes? Well this is the result. One completed "project" anyway.
I ended up not using a pattern (not all mugs are the same size as all the printed patterns are for), and made my own for these camping mugs. I did not want to mess with sewing buttons on, so I simply single crocheted 12, double crocheted into the 3rd chain, counting that as the first chain in each row, and dc across. I measured about 10 inches, before finishing off, then simply sewed ends together (just enough to secure a hole for the handle of the mug).

Wear it out,

Caramel Apple Jam
I made a batch of caramel apple jam yesterday. The grocery store finally got in some organic granny smith apples. I used organic ingredients, and my homemade vanilla. Yum.
I apologize for the poor photo. As fall rolls in, the lighting in the house gets worse. Here is the recipe:
