Microwave Corn

Tried this method for making corn on the cob.  Best ever.  I will never make corn any other way.

Put corn in microwave with husk still on.  Cook 4 minutes per ear.  Hold with a hot pad and cut off stem end above the bottom of the ear.  Slide the ear of corn out without any silk.

Not only was this easy, but the corn was delicious and perfectly cooked.  Each kernel came off the cob so easily.  Try it.  You'll like it.

I am not sure if this counts since I didn't get it from pinterest. I found it and pinned it myself. 

We are kind of pack rats in my house. My children have clothes, especially t-shirts, that they can't part with because they are so special. I have promised to make them each a quilt out of the clothes and give it to them for their mission or college. (Not sure which yet.) Anyway, this was taking up a lot of closet space, so I cut out pieces of the articles of clothing to save on storage. Now I only have 1 box instead of 2-3. After this I had a huge bag of left over t-shirt scraps and didn't want to throw them out. 

This is what I found. http://www.pinterest.com/pin/81275968249300452/ 

It was a fun, but time consuming project. In the end Andy, Marcus, Anneke and I all worked on it. I like how it turned out.

 Even the back doesn't look too bad.

Now Anneke wants me to make her one in pink, purple and blue.
