Don't Waste Money Buying Coffee Make your Own

 It amazes me how many people waste money buying coffees.  Why? I must be dumb, because it only takes a couple of minutes and saves you a lot of dollars at the end of the month.  So, think how much you would save if you made your own.  

Whether you are going to work, or travelling around the countryside in your caravan there are so many ways to make great coffee and save money. 

We love to travel, so every morning we make a thermos of coffee before we start out the day.  Then when we stop at a lovely place all we have to do is get the cups and pour our coffee. Simple!

#Thermos Flask 

This is an ideal size 1.2 ltr Stainless Steel Thermos Flask, not too big and not too heavy to lift and pour. 

It will keep your drinks hot or cold for up to 24 hours. It comes with a twist and pour stopper, therefore no need to remove the stopper and spill your drink in the process. Plus, the outside is cool to touch.  The stainless-steel cup is also insulated so it will not burn you.


#Coffee Maker 

If you prefer to make your own with your own BUY NOW Sunbeam coffee maker, then we have you covered with that too.
This has a one-tough control panel which allows anyone to choose and expresso, cappuccino or latte coffee. This is so easy it takes the hard work out of making any coffee.

Just turn the dial to select how frothy you like your coffee and the automatic frother does the rest.

It comes with and easy to fill water tank that holds a removable 2 liters of water. Plus, it will take any size coffee cup.

I can smell it brewing from here.

For those oldies like me that prefer to make our own (actually my husband makes me one every morning. I know I am spoilt, and I do appreciate it) then we have you covered too.

#Mocha Coffee Sachets 

This is an ideal way of buying them bulk. These Mocha Coffee sachets come in a 40 pack, 4x10 pack. Although you can always buy 2 if one is not enough. Plus they come in a variety of wonderful flavors.



Oh, if you would prefer more froth on your coffee then check this out

I think that just about covers everything for now, although if you need information on anything else just leave me a note in the comments page. Cheers

Quilting - Add Labels to your Quilt or Not

 The question whether to put labels on your Quilt or not is a personal choice.

I have made hundreds of quilts for a variety of charities.  Sometimes I put a label on and if too busy I don't.

The hard part is finding a way to do it  When doing for charities it is too expensive to have them professionally made.

Therefore I tried several other ways.

I bought a permanent marker and wrote or printed  

   Made with Love 

E Hughes-Northam


Then I ironed each one and washed a couple of times and they stayed in. But my writing was not the best. 

So I used my Ink jet printer 

I stuck a piece of material A4 size to an A4 piece of paper. Then make sure which side the printer will print on before doing anything.

Now go to a word document and decide how you want it to look. I did some writing and some lettering. Then  copied it a couple times on the page. Now print onto material.

Again you need to iron this to set it.

Then I sew them on back on bottom left. 

How do u do labels. I would love to hear your comments.
