With her arm raised and finger pointing, Harmony is directing the honey bees to their hive for the fall in this altered tin. There is a certain type of harmony of nature in the fall......geese fly south, insects and some mammals begin their hybernation, people can peppers. Yes I said people, like yours truely can peppers (my husband helped). These are mild hot peppers from my garden. Both are easy to do, the red colored ones have to be cold packed but the yellow ones are refridgerator peppers and require no cold packing. Both are delicious and so easy to do!
Refridgerator Peppers Recipe (also known as LuLu's Peppers)11 pint glass jars with lids and rings
Cut up a peck of hot peppers and set aside
Finely chop up 7 cloves of garlic
Have dried oregano ready to put in jars
Pepper Juice:
Mix together the following in a pan and bring to a boil then set aside
1 quart of white vinegar
2 quarts of water
2 Cups of sugar
Put peppers in a big pot, just barely cover with water and bring to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, boil for 4 minutes then take off heat and drain on collander.
Put a 2 teaspoons of chopped garlic and one teaspoon of oregano in the bottom of each jar. Pack peppers in the jars to the top. Pour the pepper juice into the jar to cover the peppers. Place the lids and rings on and tighten. Turn upside down and let them stay like this over night. In the morning place in the refridgerator. These will last up to 6 months. These peppers are so yummy on sandwiches or crackers!
The Harmony altered tin is available at the
Honey Girl Studio Shop.
I once had this boss who told me that if you wanted people to think you are busy, carry around a clipboard because it makes you look like you are doing something! Well, I really do do something around the work place and I carry a clipboard to keep my papers together, however I often lay down the generic brown clipboard at which time it is never to be found again. I'm often saying outloud to myself or anybody who will listen, "I can't find my clipboard". The other day I was looking at some flickr photos and saw a chooched up altered clipboard. It was awesome, colorful and full of whimsical style. It was the kind of clipboard that everyone in the work-place would know. So I made such a clipboard this weekend and can't wait to give it a test drive tomorrow. I think everybody will know my clipboard within a matter of a few days or perhaps even a few hours! The picture of the class is a copy of a class photo from the late 1960s. I just love the look on the teacher's face and I just know that she is jamming her thumb into the back of the kid acting goofy standing next to her. And how about the little girl with the glasses in the lower right hand corner, you know she was the spelling bee champ of the entire school. I thinking that the boy with the glasses in the upper left hand corner probably grew up to be either an astrophysics professor or a stalker. Kind of makes you wonder what the kids in that 1960's class grew up to become. Just for fun pick out a kid and tell me what you think they did with their life in the comments!
