Summer means Ice Tea

Summertime, Summertime.


Here in the Northern Hemisphere we had our summer solstice,
I know in the Southern Hemisphere it's your winter solstice.  
(I love winter)
Being summer here means ice tea time, some love it all year but I'm one who drink it mostly in the summer.
Sun tea is the way I usually make my ice tea and have for more years than I can remember.
For those of you who haven't made this, what I do is use a gallon glass jar, add cold water and I use 8-10 tea bags (cup bags). Sit it outside in the sun and in about 2 - 4 hours it should be done.
Now this is my favorite ice tea but I have been introduced to a herbal tea that has become a new favorite.
I don't mind herbal teas but just haven't found one I cared for as an iced tea. 
My daughter had this at her place when I went there last month and   everyone was ranting and raving about it. So I had to try it to see what all the hooting was about.


Well you know what, it is wonderful, very refreshing.


Now on the package it mentions mixing it with lemonade and so the next time I made it I did.
YUMMY !!!!!!

I was thinking about ice tea and wonder is it as popular in other countries as it is here in the United States?

So if you live in another country, is it popular drink? 
I would love to know.
And what is your favorite tea?

    I love that Tazo iced passion tea! It's very refreshing and has a good flavor, and it's pretty too. :)

    I buy that at Starbucks as their shaken not stirred tea, with a little sweetener. I just can't find it here....

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl c...
