Snack Pouch

Inspired by the Eco Ditty, I decided to try and make my own snack pouch. From leftover material I constructed my first snack pouch! I did make a few mistakes on this, not huge ones, now I am ready to try a few more! I will make a matching napkin, and utensil roll. I must plug Eco Ditty and say their product is much nicer, made from organic materials and the weight is much nicer. On the other hand, I made it myself.

These handy snack pouches are from getngreen.com. The pouches are made from organic cotton, made in Colorado and are so versatile. On the getngreen site they list all of the possible benefits from these. These will be great to use in the kids lunches. I am slowly collecting items for the children's lunches for the fall. I also have the wrap-n-mat from getngreen, another product I utilize a lot. I am going to sew a silverware roll for the children's lunches. I will let you know how that comes out. That will be a summer project. I have a friend who has made them before, so we'll be crafting one day together.

Just Chillin'

Today the high will be 95 degrees. The heat is on! We started the day by going for a hike. We hiked to Mt. Lew Dog. It was definitely warm. I thought it would be a good day to make watermelon ice-pops. I found the recipe on

Sara’s Watermelon Sorbet Recipe

1. puree cubes of 1/2 or more of a seedless watermelon

2. add juice from one lime and sugar to taste

3. pour mixture into ice cream freezer (you can skip this step)

4. spoon watermelon sorbet into dixie cups and add sticks

I did not mix it into ice-cream, instead I used the recipe as ice-pops. The lime juice makes these so delicious.
