welcome

Welcome, My name is Carleen and I would like to invite you to step into my Crafty kitchen.

 Let me share some fun facts about myself, I'm mother of two and wife to a wonderful husband. I have a love of cooking, home canning, knitting, quilting, basic crafts and pinching every penny my little fingers can grab, which I'm happy to share with you in this blog.  To me, family comes first and will love to show my ideas and thoughts on how to do so. I feel like life is to short to be worrying over the little things,  and because of that I like to make things simple and have fun while doing it.


My love of cooking runs deep but like most people I don't have all the time in the world to do it. So in a lot of my recipes you will notice center around  my beloved crockpot, I have two of them and I love them so much. For the meals that I don't use the crock-pot for are very easy to follow. I'm also a pro at home-canning so you will notice a lot of my recipes I double and then go about canning them, which I'm going to take you step by step on how to do. To expand on the home-canning I will be sharing homemade jellies and jams and homemade gifts you can give (which everyone loves to receive). Hopefully you can enjoy the meals and I'm always open to suggestions or your take on the recipes that I share.

Baking is another passion of mine. My mother was never a baker so this just picked up when I was younger and expanded as time went on. My speciality is bread but I love to do pies, cookies and much more as well. So grab your spatula and get ready for it :)

Crafts is another favorite of mine. I picked up quilting a few years back, but I do more sewing crafts then quilts. In this blog I'm going to be showing you both :) I love knitting but I have to admit I cheat at it, I use the kniffty knitter. If you're not familiar with the kniffty kitter, just hang around and you'll see.  I also do everyday type of crafts. I will show off my talents (at least I feel like they're talents) in this blog.

So hang around and become a follower of my blog and you'll be amazed at the creativity I can bring out of you :)

Thanks for stopping by ~ Carleen
