Dishing up dirt.

Getting ready for spring by planting seeds and playing in dirt. I think we’re a wee bit early.

On my mind.

My sewing machine has been humming prettily the last few nights. Here’s my work in progress. I hope to finish it tonight and then I’ll tell you what it is.

Cast Iron Pans

Working on my cast iron finds. After watching a video online, I washed them in hot soapy water, dried them completely, and rubbed oil all over them. Then I put them in a 250 degree oven for 2 hours. I am hopeful it will work but might have to repeat the oil/oven step.  If you want to start using cast iron instead of Teflon pans, I know my father-in-law bought one that was already seasoned at Fleet Farm for like $10.  If mine don’t turn out I am totally doing that!

A couple benefits to cast iron:

Cooks evenly

Don’t have to worry about toxic Teflon from flaking off

Last forever!

You don’t have to wash them…well sort of…   :)

We were having issues with crayons being everywhere!! I had to do something about it. Something easy for Elias to help put them away in. Here’s my answer. I used my Zippered Pouch tutorial to help me. Took me about 15 minutes. Gotta love a project like that!
