are the bags reinforced by you on the bottom? I'm still debating

your in trouble now!!!

Lol... I am a recycler so everything I use in them is recycled... right down to the cardboard on the bottom. I completely tear out the bottom stitch of the feed bag and then sew a square bottom and line it with cardboard. The only time I had a handle rip is when my sister got it caught on the shopping cart and pulled... oops! I did start sewing them a little differently now, and haven't had any trouble since!

I love them. I use them for seriously everything! Let me know!

For whomever makes apple butter in the crock pot...the wiki recipe calls for a lot of sugar, Can I leave it out? or at least cut it down? 4 cups seems like an awful lot of sugar. Also, has anyone tried it with other juices besides apple cider? This sounds like a great way to get apple butter and smell up the house (in a good way) at the same time.

What bags are used and what size? I get some really pretty ones but I don't have a good machine for that sort of sewing. I can start a stockpile. I don't do a lot of huge items though so most are closer to coffee or flour size. I've seen the juice box crafts too and those look neat.

My mom does the juice box bags and gets tons of compliments on those. My son takes a Capri Sun juice bag lunch bag to school and the kids love it! I use 50# bags for the grocery totes, but have done some smaller ones too.

Wanted to give ya'll an update. I had a weird week. Got sick, then bad uti, then had ekg which dr thought showed I was in a-fib an irregular rythym. Went to cardiologist who says it's not a-fib its something else having to do with extra beats or something. Supposedly not dangerous. He does say I'm haveing issues with HIigh blood pressure which is what he thinks caused my severe headache about a month ago when I went to er. 'm going for a stress test/echocardiogram on oct. 11th to check it out further. I'm a bit nervous since my mom's family has a strong history of early heart disease. Mom's had several heart attacks and she's only in 50's. Aunt died at 41 of heart attack.

Please say a prayer for me guys. I would really appreciate it.

That said I havent got my swaps out yet. I will try to get them out to you all as soon as I can. Sorry for yet another set back.

Also my eggs are cheeping at me (BCMs from coopscoop) so hopefully I'll have fuzzy butts soon. I didnt candle this time so I'm not sure what's developing in there. Kids tore up my light.

No stinky eggs though so I'm hoping they all hatch.

Will keep you updated.


Ayeupchuck try ginger in a cup of warm tea. This is great for morning sickness!!! It was a lifesaver for me.

Thanks so much coldupnorth!

I went and found a light bulb that didnt quite fit my candler and then used my hand to make the "tube" around it. just about burnt my hand off. LOL but I found out that only six eggs are still viable. Two of them have pipped internally and are cheeping so it shouldnt be long.
