I've been making broth the old fashion way for decades; toss the chicken bones in a big stock pot and stand over the pot to skim the foam (or scum as some call it). If you dont do that, the foam goes back into your soup and adds a really unpleasant taste. <br />
<br />
Well, three years ago I stumbled across the Instant Pot (IP). I had heard that it made great broth without skimming anything. I was such a naysayer. I thought it impossible. After almost one full year of research on the Instant Pot, I kept seeing the same info over and over again, so, I decided to give a try for myself. <br />
<br />
Broth was of course one of the first things I made in my new Instant Pot. Everyone was right. Broth from the Instant Pot is every bit as flavorful and healthy as the stove top method, with one giant perk. No standing over the pot and skimming. Yeah! <br />
<br />
Now I bet you want to know where I get the bones from. I save every bone and bit of fat from chicken, whether its from store bought rotisserie chicken or home cooked. I save the bones and carcasses in a zip lock bag that is kept in the freezer until I need to make broth. (recycling is in my blood. What can I say!) It doesn't take much. <br />
<br />
My super easy IP chicken broth recipe:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Place your liner pot inside the Instant Pot</li>
<li>Use approximately one carcass worth of bones. Bones should fill to about 1/4 - 1/3 of the liner. Put liner pot inside the pot.</li>
<li>Fill the liner pot with water to just below the max line on the inside of the liner.</li>
<li>Set timer to Soup Button, 120 min. (or 240 on the newer pots)</li>
<li>Turn the black knob away from you to sealing. (it says it on the knob)</li>
<li>Make absolutely sure that your sealing ring has been completely inserted into the channel of the underside of the pot lid.</li>
<li>Then go do something else for 3-6 hours (it will take time to come to pressure and to release pressure, plus cooking time)</li>
<li>Let the pot release pressure before opening. (really, it will not let you open it until all pressure is released. Don't try to force it)</li>
</ul>
<br />
When its done, taste it. As an option, you can continue cooking for another 120 min. if your pot only goes to 120 min. I often do 240 min for my broth.<br />
<br />
Then remove the bones, strain it. <br />
You will have a lot of broth. I always ladle broth into freezer containers of various sizes for future use and save enough for my daily cup. <br />
<br />
Note: I often do not add anything to flavor my broth because I use it in cooking as well as drinking. You can add veggie scraps, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper if you like. Just note that anything you add with the bones will need to be tossed out. <br />

I hope to get back to sewing soon, but in the meantime, I have to eat, so I'll be cooking and posting. You can also follow me on Instagram at: #textilerecycler</div>

So clearly I've not been posting to this blog in a while. I've been on a real health and life journey... but all the while recycling. I guess I'm a true recycler of all things, not just textiles.<br />
<br />
So you will see posts not only related to textiles, but always recycling something or other, from food to music to whatever crosses my path.<br />
<br />
Let's take this journey together. Stay tuned! <br />

I've been nominated by Caryn Smith to take part in the "Post 3 pieces
of art a day" for 5 days. Yipes! I haven't really produced anything in quite a while and I'm a bit shy to post what I make anyway. What should I do? Accept, not accept, just freak out.....oh my... the pressure is killing me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then again, maybe this nomination is a good thing. Maybe it will force me out of my comfort zone... or maybe it will cause me to retreat more. Only time will tell. That artist insecurity creeps up and those voices start whispering in my ear telling me to run... and fast. But I'm going to ignore them for a change. I know, it's a shock to me too!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So for all of my positivity going into the new year, it sure started crazy. And not so positive.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Within the first 24 hours of the new year, my car is dead. I guess it's been quite a while since I drove it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The same day, I missed a step in the house and went down to the ground. Hard. Ouch. My foot and ankle were twisted underneath me and oh oh... I went into shock. All I could do was wonder with morbid absurdity which I was going to do first, pass out or throw up. Both were rushing upon me quickly. Meanwhile the foot/ankle area was swelling fast. At least I had the where-with-all to pull myself up on a step, get off my foot, then roll into a ball to try to protect myself from what could have gotten much worse, like fall head first down another staircase.<br /><br />So, to make a boring story a lot better, I've used my time in bed wisely. Yes, in bed. I've had my foot elevated and been pouring lavender oil on my back, side and hip to minimize the bruises. I can't really put much weight on the foot yet, so I'm doing 'bed' activities.. no not that kind!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I started a little creative project at the end of December. It was thanks to a FB artist friend. She was well aware of my creative insecurity and how my life issues have gotten in the way of doing anything creative. To bring it all home, I made a little video of the project:</div>

I realized that I have not blogged in over a year.<br />
I've barely done anything creative in at least 2 years.<br />
2014 certainly sucked..... well, so did 2013 & 2012 for that matter. <br />
<br />
Circumstances have changed things in so many ways.<br />
<br />
I am optimistic that as the clock strikes midnight tonight, that a chain of positivity will be set in motion and all will be different tomorrow. <br />
<br />
But whether is does or doesn't:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>I am thankful and grateful for the many people that stuck by me in hard times, offered me support, kind words and kept me propped up. </li>
<li>I am thankful and grateful for what I've been able to overcome. </li>
<li>I am thankful and grateful that I was able to stay solid for those more in need than I.</li>
<li>I am thankful and grateful for what I have today. I don't need any more.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Happy New Year and may all of your hopes, dreams and wishes come true...</div>

I love Jessica's spirit, creativity, awesome art work and her fab stencils....so for me, it was a no brainer .... I was in.<br />
<br />
Then began to ponder what I'd do....<br />
<br />
I am not a painter, but having just received some canvas boards from a friend cleaning out her basement, I thought I'd just play and see what I could come up with. I had nothing to lose. I started in one direction...shades of yellows and oranges. Not at all my palette. Something went seriously wrong, so I began to just slap paint here and there just to cover up my disaster. Hmmm.. I kinda liked what I'd done so far, so I kept going, adding the stencil, newsprint and metallic paint. Oh boy.. I just love Bubble Girl.. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

The finished piece: Bubbles Brighten a Grey Day </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then I wanted to do something with fabric since I'm a textile recycler. I grabbed an old quilted bedspread that I've had hanging around for just this occasion. I did a crude measure of a spiral notebook and hacked away.<br />
<br />
Next I stenciled the image onto the quilted fabric, then did some thread sketching in between the lines. The bubbles are metallic paint and outline stitched in black.<br />
<br />
Last I added some text. A light lavender wash was applied to a small piece of fabric for some background to add text to. Then I just wrote the balance directly on the piece. I'm not totally thrilled with the ink coverage of the pen I used for the text, but I still can't wait to start using my new notebook cover!<br />

I had been mulling over from the beginning what I really wanted to do with this stencil. The plan was to use some sheer fabric and do a really cool overlay with some piecing and stitching. But every time I got close to pulling the bits and pieces I needed, something else caught my eye and I was off in another direction. So after switching it up a handful of times, I landed on this vintagey fabric. <br />
<br />
I cut some flowers and leaves from another fabric, then added it to the background, traced my pretty little bubble girl onto muslin, painted her, added her to black felt to add dimension. Did the same with the butterflies and bird. Then I fiddled around with various pieces of lace and decided to frame my gal. Last the entire piece was applied to a 12" x 12" canvas for a nice dimensional wall piece.<br />
<br />
The finished piece: Leaving the Garden with Butterflies<br />

For some odd reason I decided to alleviate some stress today by revisiting old blog posts. I found one where other bloggie buddies were selecting a word for the year. I couldn't remember mine and once I got to the end of the post and saw my word I thought, 'oh yah...but what has that meant so far....'<br />
<br />
My word for the year is: <i>peaceful</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In reflection I would say that I have found some peace. Still a long way to go. I've had a lot on my plate in the last 10 months and sometimes weaving and other times muddling my way thru it all, has helped get me closer to that peaceful place I was looking for at the end of last year. But then... something else always happens and I feel like I am starting at square one again.<br />
<br />
I count on making attempts at being creative and even better, finishing something that has allowed me to use my vast collection of art/sewing supplies and my innate creativity. And when that happens, I do feel peaceful, even if just for a few minutes, or hours. It's worth it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So I guess my tip for today is, every once in a while recycle or go thru some old blog posts and see where you were then and where you are today. Then decide if you accomplished what you had hoped for or are you still moving toward it. I personally find that it gives me comfort and sometimes a newly defined direction. <br />
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Today is the last day of the Photo Scavenger Hunt and I am sad.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What fun this was!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The hunt combined with some unexpected travels this summer </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
resulted in some really great and very unexpected photos</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that I was happy to share. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I call myself a 'drive-by photographer'. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most of the photos were taken from a moving car and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
not one photo was touched up or altered in any way. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Here's the rest of my photos, closing out the hunt for 2013:</b></div>

This year was very challenging for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At times, actually most of the time, it was very stressful</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and while also dealing with increased depression that became quite severe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If it wasn't for you Rinda and your scavenger hunt, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not sure where I'd be right now. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you Rinda! You are a gem. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Usually I have a crazy amount of pictures for each photo hunt category. Not this time. When it came to fisherman I knew there was only one that I could ... or would post. You'll notice that there are no fish, poles or even water in the photo... but still a fisherman.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Every Saturday morning for almost 20 years I'd hear loud salsa music blaring in the driveway... at 6 a.m. I would bolt out the door, jump in the van and be off on an adventure. It was time to rock n' roll for the day. My friend and I would start out at the huge farmers market in the city, then the marketa in Mexicantown, then junkin' for the rest of the day until we pooped out and couldn't do it any more. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We spent most of the day looking for various treasures that appealed to us individually. Thankfully, we went after different things. My interested were textiles, dolls and kooky, arty, crafty stuff. While I was searching for my own score, my friend was busily looking in every nook and cranny of every garage sale for fishing poles, lures and the like. When he found something, he'd holler Bubbaaaaaaa. I'd turn to see his eyes lit up like a kid getting ready to pounce on presents under the Christmas tree. I remember one day in particular, he found two creels and his eyes actually started twirling. He was so excited he could barely eeck out a sound, which was highly unusual cause he never stopped talking.<br />
<br />
What a treasure! To him, that was better than a big lottery win.<br />
<br /></div>

Those days are gone now. This is the two year anniversary of his sudden passing. I can't believe it's been that long already. I can still hear his voice, and see his face with the little sparkle in his eye when he found those fishing treasures. The contemplation of the next great fishing trip was written all over it.<br />
<br />
Miss you Bubbs... it was a great run mi amigo....</div>

I opened it with great trepidation. </div>

My bundle of goodies:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
.... a magazine, a molding mat,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a package with paper and lace bits and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
very nice handwritten note. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have come across some really terrific blogs over the last year or so, and Andria's <a href="http://andria-drawingnear.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Drawing Near</a> is definitely one of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe it's our shared love of junk shops and mixed media. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know, but I think you'll definitely want to check it out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you Andria for selecting me in your most recent give-away.</div>

Last week I was in sunny downtown London... Ontario that is. Sunfest. Ah yes... a wonderful place to be if you're a music lover. What kind of music you ask.. all kinds... Salsa from Puerto Rico to Cumbia from Columbia and Reggae to brass from Rumania --- and let's not forget the jazz stage. Yummy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Normally at an event like this I would take tons of photos, but I just didn't have it in me. I had badly twisted my ankle and broken a toe so moving back and forth thru crowds of 200,000 or more seemed like a recipe for disaster. None the less, I met some wonderful folks, saw some old friends, soaked up some glorious sun and did I mention the music?? OMG.. it was so wonderful.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's a short video of the sights and sounds from my week at Sunfest:</div>

So again, you may be wondering... how the heck does this relate to recycling! Well never fear, I found some treasures to add to the recycle fabric pile. Let's see what I can do with these:<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's funny how the Universe works. Someone I have worked with for over a decade left for another job. I was not happy... one, to lose contact with someone I had grown close to and two, not looking forward to breaking in a new business contact. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, in the infinite wisdom of the Universe, my new contact has the same history as me; the mom that demanded a perfection that could never be attained no matter how many ways I tried. I loved my mom and she loved me. I know that....and she was so fab in so many ways, but her need to demand perfection in me was really just a means of ignoring her own issues. Sometimes it was really challenging and always effected (or stifled) my creativity...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, I think we, my new friend and I that is.... we were brought together to help each other overcome these voices in our heads...either the voices of others and/or our own negative scripts that have played over and over for years and years. I am clearly farther along in the process, but can always use another person on my side.... and hopefully thru my experiences she will overcome her voices much more quickly than I did.... at least that's what I hope for her. Too much time can pass otherwise, then the challenge seems unattainable.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Don't you find it amazing that when we most need something, it seems to end up right in front of us... in one way or another... well it's true... just look...</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wasn't sure what I was getting into when I started this blog... didn't know what direction it would take or if I'd even want to do for any length of time. And I don't blog regularly either, tho I do try. Sometimes, time is a challenge in itself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, I am so happy that I ventured into this new territory because I have 'met' some great folks along the way, learned lots of new things, gotten some positive feedback on my work, made some treasured friendships, tried some new creative techniques and challenged myself in ways I never thought I would or could.... so it's not true at all... you CAN teach an old dog new tricks. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm living proof!</div>
<br />
While working on my own and fiddling around on the Internet, I've stumbled across too many really cool blogs in the late night hours. There are way too many to list, but here are a handful that draw me in <i>(in complete random order):</i><br />
