My Domain Name

Well, I have some good news to share today! I just found out that my domain name, that has been lost for about 3 years or so, has been restored to me! Praise the Lord! skeetersbarefootsandals is now my domain name again! I am so happy. I was registered with another company and they held my domain name for "hostage" so to speak. They went out of business and the name has been floating around for awhile now. Anyway, I had GoDaddy capture it for me, it took a while, but now the domain name is MINE again! It has my name in it, so why would anyone else want it?

We are getting ready to go on a trip to L.A. Now why would someone that lives in "God's Country The Upper Peninsula Michigan" go to Los Angeles??? We are making a trip to L.A. to visit with Randy's son and family. My husband is a new grandfather, the baby's name is Ayden and he is about a month old. It is partly a trip to get me out of the house, to visit family and other medical reasons. I will put up a notice on my website about accepting orders. We will only be gone for about 5 days, so this should not interfere with my business. Hopefully I will have a chance to check my email for any hotspots. I plan on taking a Lavender Eye Pod with me on the airplane. I am a little nervous about flying, as I have never flown before.

Speaking of Eye Pods, I am working on a page with all the Lavender Eye Pods along with the shopping cart. Seems like there is always something to update, edit or take care of in some way.

The Lavender Eye Pods are a welcome retreat from the pressures of modern life! Rest an eye pillow over your eyes when you are trying to doze off or taking a
break. It will provide total darkness and a gentle pressure that is
quite relaxing. The Eye Pillow may be placed near your pillow at
night to relax and help you to doze off. Lavender helps to relax and sooth you.

Use at room temperature or you may chill your eye pillow in a
plastic ziplock bag in the freezer. The eye pillow should be kept
in a ziplock bag when not in use. With proper care the eye pillow
should last for years. This eye pillow is not intended to be heated
in the microwave, this may destroy the usefulness of the herbs.

The Lavender Eye Pods contain Lavender, chamomile and flax seed. I also offer them with just lavender and flax seed. Those that are sensitive to aromas, I have plain eye pods, with just flax seed.

That is it for this time, back to building the ark, we are having so much rain, I think we may need it before we even get the plans drawn up!
Take care and remember Jesus Loves you!
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13

Pod, pillow, lavender, gentle pressures, headaches

Tater Baker Bags

Have you ever used a Tater Baker Bag to cook potatoes in the microwave? If not, I would like to introduce you to the BEST way to make baked potatoes. So easy and so simple and they are the best potatoes.

A handcrafted bag, designed to bake potatoes in the microwave. This simple bag creates a "JUST RIGHT" baked potato in your microwave. The inside of the potato is well done, yet moist, while the skin remains tender. The Tater Baker Bag will cook from 1 to 4 potatoes at once. Be sure to follow your microwave directions, as all microwaves do not cook the same. Start at the least time, checking often. No more pricking them with a knife, covering them with plastic wrap or hot plates..... Just cook them in the bag...take them to the table to keep them warm...remove from bag and cut them with a fork. They will be very fluffy. After use, let the bag air dry, cleaning is seldom necessary, but if needed, hand wash and air dry.

Tater Baker Bag for baking spuds in the microwave.

The size of this bag is about 10 X 10 inches. I am using up some of my fabric stash, so you may never see the print in potato bags again.
The Tater Baker Bags are made of cotton print in colorful kitchen designs, with a batting and lined with a cotton muslin. You can also order a matching Spud Scrubber, while supplies last, so get your scrubbers today. The scrubbies are good for Potatoes, or spuds as we call them, Vegetables, Pots, Pans, Sinks, in every room of the house! This is the handiest scrubber for all types of non-scratch cleaning. Handcrafted from nylon yarn, so they are tough and will clean your vegetables, sink, pots and pans and other things around the house.

Tater Bags make nice gifts for the college student, or anyone on your gift list that loves baked potatoes! Perfect housewarming gift

Tater Scrubbers

I love to shop for new fabric, so be sure to watch for new prints in the future. If you have a specific theme in mind, please let me know. It is hard to keep up with kitchen themes these days. All our fabric stores have closed in our area, so I have to travel a ways to find the prints that I want, I buy on line sometimes, if I find the right fabric.

Be sure to watch for my next entry, I will try to feature another gift idea from Skeeter's Fine Crafts! Thanks for reading and until next time, God Bless you!

Ask, and it shall b given you; Seek, and you shall find; Knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
