For Future Reference: The Pixel size of a photo for Instagram is currently 612×612. Anything larger will be reduced via Instagram… which is all well and good, unless you have text, then things might get a bit pixelated. I advise resizing a photo yourself (PicMonkey is a great free online photo editor) so your Instagram…
Wedding Hair Trial #1 – Rope Braid Bun
To save a little sanity the day of the wedding, I want to try to get a reasonable idea of what to do with my hair. I have been doing my own up-dos for my work Christmas parties for 3 years… but they were basically “on the fly” involving clear elastics and bobby-pins… so I…
According to Google Autocomplete, we are all a bunch of toddlers…
But If it is in autocomplete I’m not the only one wondering…
[National Sewing Month] Diaper & Wipes Pouch
Did you know that September has been “National Sewing Month” since 1982? It started with a proclamation from President Ronald Reagan, declaring September as National Sewing Month “In recognition of the importance of home sewing to our Nation.” What a great opportunity to share one of my more recent home-sewing creations (beyond my typical quilts)….
Summer Canning with Fruit, Berries, and Beer
So I picked up the canning hobby a little late in the season. A couple times this August I saw berries on a ridiculous good sale at the store, and it made me realize summer was coming to a close and berries were going with it! I bought lots to blueberries, raspberries and strawberries. Some…
Playing in the Kitchen: My 1st Beer Jelly
So I’ve recently taken an interest in canning. And when you 1st start out, Jams and Jellies are the way to go. So far I’ve been able to can a Triple Berry Jam and a Peach Jam… so Beer Jelly is the next logical step. Well, at least for me it is! I decided to…
Etsy pulled a Facebook
ETSY pulled a Facebook and made a significant change that wasn’t needed, without warning, and has left many shop owners confused and upset. Having run and ETSY shop for over 3 years, I have seen a lot of “improvements.” Most have been quite helpful. But today I find myself miffed/borderline angry. <center> <a href=”//www.etsy.com/shop/InMyLife?ref=offsite_badges&utm_source=sellers&utm_medium=badges&utm_campaign=en_isell_1″><img width=”200″…

This little trick has saved me on several occasions… I know it at least works in Firefox. You’re welcome, Internet. 😀
It’s National Can-It-Forward Day! (Schedule of LIVE webcast)
Happy National Can-It-Forward Day! When I made and canned some Jam this last week, I had no idea National Can-It-Forward Day was right around a corner… honestly I didn’t know there was such a day. But it is the perfect time of year to celebrate caning. Summer is coming to a close, and we want…
Playing in the Kitchen: Sage & Rosemary QUICK Pickles
It’s Left-Handers Day! Who knew? In honor of Left-Handers everywhere, I though it more than appropriate to share my Quick Pickle recipe. Namely because when I photographed them, I didn’t realize me recent left-handedness was glaringly obvious. Can’t you tell? Holding a Pyrex measuring cup with your left hand means reading the metric measurements. Such…
