i’m going to miss summer, this one was a good one. the girls learned to swim (mostly), we had some great days hanging out and enjoying everything we could find to do. the colors this year were just so vibrant and fun.
one more colorful project i tried this summer that met mixed results was rock candy. i won’t bother with a recipe because i didn’t find a real winner, but feel free to share one that works with me!
there’s sugar and water and mixing and boiling and mixing and waiting and all that… then food coloring and a little flavoring. and 2 more lbs of sugar than you think you’ll need. look, pretty!
(and mason jars, too! woo hoo!)
skewers and clothespins are involved. how hard can it be?
there’s whoooole lot of waiting and hoping. the first batch… nuthin. sticks in colored water for a week. so i tried again and got something. i don’t know what i was expecting, other than MORE. but here we go:
they’re not so bad, i guess…
next time i might try string instead of sticks… and see what i can get!
wow!!!!!!! you should try that when i am around-so i can sample it!
