Create!

As image bearers of God Most High – our CREATOR — we are most like Him when we are actively creating!

We can dispel darkness and despair by CREATING!

In these crazy days I have found solace and excitement in creating unique one of a kind handmade quilts. With every quilt I learn more and hone my technique. Discovering the joy of free motion quilting has been exhilarating! Free motion quilting is when you sew on top of the quilt to bind the three layers together and guide the needle for unique designs.

Quilts provide a timeless way of expressing love and appreciation. They can make a memorable gift that can be treasured throughout life and passed from generation to generation. I was inspired to make some of my special quilts available for sale and organized my work into an Etsy shop. The name was inspired by the name my granddaughter chose for me, ‘Wayway’! She helped with the photo shoot and is featured in many of the photos of quilts.

Check out my new Etsy Shop, WayWaysQuilts. If you aren’t looking to purchase a quilt right now, no worries. I REALLY appreciate likes and shares! If you are looking for a unique creation in specific colors or want to make a memory quilt of special treasured fabrics, I’m happy to discuss with you!

What boosts health?

Globally to date, ‘the virus’ is killing less than 1% of the people infected. Even fewer deaths than that have occurred in the US. Not >1% of the population mind you – >1% of those infected. And we know it’s primarily killing the infirm, the elderly, and the obese.

Obesity kills more people than ‘the virus’; drastically more when coupled with ‘it’. There’s the emergency – obesity – ….but no one is forcing lap bands on people, or bringing back rigorous PE programs to our schools or places of work.

Meanwhile the vaccine has caused over 1.1 million adverse reactions serious enough to be reported to VAERS, including over 2,600 deaths, 12,000 heart attacks, and 32,000 cases of myocarditis/pericarditis (permanent heart damage) as of 4 Feb 2022.

So, has the experimental jab ‘worked’? Is it a successful product? Successful at what? For who?

Asking questions and critical thinking is an imperative. Blindly trusting can be extremely dangerous.

Children have an even lower risk than adults and there can be no sound justification for giving this experimental jab to any child. The GOOD NEWS is that the FDA has delayed the scheduled meeting to discuss authorization of this jab for children from 6 months to 5 years. I did a quick search and found 5963 VAERS reports of injuries reported for ages 5 – 21. Some parents have been convinced that giving this dangerous experimental injection is the right thing. The media and medical systems seem to be highly supportive and promoting this. I believe the best way to help parents is through one on one conversations. Here are some important talking points for all parents from Children’s Health Defense.

Easy Healthy Waffles or Pancakes!

In 1982 I met mom who had her 10th baby around the same time as I had our first! She shared with me a wonderfully easy way to turn whole wheat berries into delicious healthy waffles or pancakes. You can make the batter in about 10 minutes and deliver a healthy meal or snack! I’ve been making these for four decades modifying the original recipe in a variety of ways!

Flour is made by grinding wheat berries. White flour is sifted. The nutritional value of the wheat is at its maximum just after milling, and decreases over time. Fresh ground flour has the highest nutritional value. This recipe uses the entire wheat berry, and instantly grinds it into flour in your blender giving you the maximum nutritional benefit. Wheat berries can be found where other whole ‘healthy’ dried grains are sold and come in two varieties: hard (mostly for bread) or soft (better for pastries). You can use either for this recipe, but soft is preferred. You can also use Einkhorn or other ancient grains if you can find them. Organic is best.

  • 1 Cup wheat berries.
  • 1 Cup milk, sour milk or kefir. You can also use water without too much difference in the result. The dairy option will provide more nutrition.

Blend the wheat berries and liquid in a blender. Start on low speed and depending on the power of your blender, blend for about 3 minutes. A Vitamix on high speed can be faster. The goal is to have a smooth non gritty texture!

  • Add 1/4-1/3 more milk to get the mixture extremely smooth.
  • 1/2-1 apple. (optional addition) Cut the apple into pieces and add to the blender as it is running.
  • 1/4-1/2 cup of oats. Add while blender is running.
  • 3 – 6 eggs. The more eggs, the higher protein. Use less if you’re about to run out of eggs! Less eggs may require more liquid.
  • 4 teaspoons of baking powder.
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
  • +/- 2 Tablespoons of softened butter or coconut oil

Blend until everything is mixed. If the mixture is too thick to blend, add more milk (or liquid). If the mixture seems too runny, add more oats. Waffle batter may need to be slightly thicker.

Pour onto hot skillet for pancakes or into hot waffle maker. Serve with butter, syrup, berries, fruit, yogurt, cheese, jam, or anything you like! I always like to add a bit of lemon juice and cinnamon.

The batter can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Waffles or pancakes can be stored in a zip lock bag in the freezer for future quick easy snacks.

Enjoy!
