Coin Purse and Eye Glass Case Patterns

The coin purse pattern was on the display in the hall on Sunday.
OK, Here's a link to the coin purse pattern in Google Docs:) Coin Purse Pattern

Coin Purse Tutorial


Cut 2 outer pieces and 2 lining pieces. Mark notches.



Puffy: Fold pleat along fold line matching dotted lines. Stitch 1/2" inwards along dotted line. Fold the two pleats inwards and baste close to edge. Repeat for other side of purse and for both lining pieces.


Sew the lining pieces, RS together, with a 1/4" seam allowance along bottom curve, leaving the top open. Repeat for outer pieces.




Clip the curves so that the piece turns nicely.




Turn the outer piece RS out and finger-press the seam to let the piece find its shape.




Insert lining into the outer purse, WS togeter, and with a small zig-zag, stitch along raw top edge attaching the outer piece to the lining.



How cute is that?!? Now make a few more, or wait until we meet on October 14 to add the frame to your purse!

Family Canning

(Message from the Lindon Home Storage Center (Dry Pack): Lindon HSC is needing part-time missionaries who can serve on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 8-10 hours/week. If you are interested or even curious, please call Brother Church @ 801-367-9997)
 
Dear Lindon Cannery Email Subscribers: 
 
(Please read this email carefully. This is not the sign-up. It is an opportunity to understand how things will work. We hope this helps to minimize the stress of signing up. This should also give you time to plan your order. Please remember that the Cannery wants to work at its full capacity. If you don’t want all of your cases, plan ahead and offer them to someone else. One person can get 4 cases for working a shift.)
 
We’ve had several phone calls from people anticipating the next family canning opportunity. This email is to let you know that we are preparing to sign-up for chicken and pork chunks. We will send the links for the actual online sign-ups on September 9th, but we wanted you to have an opportunity to look things over before then.
 
The instructions below are a copy of those that are currently on the online sign-up. Now is the time to read them carefully to understand what you would be agreeing to if you participate in this opportunity:
 
************************************************BEGINNING OF COPIED INSTRUCTIONS
By entering your name on this signup you are indicating that you have read and understand the following stipulations:
 
1) I AGREE to work at the Lindon Cannery for a 2.5 hour shift on October 11, 12, 13, 14, 18 or 19.

Limit: One shift/person.

2) I AM ABLE to purchase up to a combined total of 4 cases of Canned Meat (example: 3 chicken + 1 pork= 4 cases)

Chicken Chunks: $44.40/case of 24, 14.5 oz cans 
Pork Chunks: $57.60/case of 24, 14.5 oz cans 

3) I UNDERSTAND that I (or someone I have arranged with) will have to return on November 8th, 9th, or 10th between 8:30 am - 3:30 pm, to pick up and pay for my meat. 

4) I UNDERSTAND that if I do not pick up my meat during dates listed above, the Lindon Cannery has the right to sell my order to someone else, making it unavailable to me.

To schedule a shift:

1) Scroll down, past these instructions, to find the sign-up table.
2) Click on a box that says “Available” located in a COLUMN (time of day) that you are available to work.
- Your shift begins at the time indicated at the top of the column.
- You should arrive 15 minutes before this time so the shift can begin on time.
- A shift is full if there are no boxes that say “Available” on the table. Empty boxes are
  places that are not being scheduled on a particular shift.
- Write down the ROW (Worker #) and COLUMN (shift time) when you are scheduling.
3) Enter the required information and click on the “Schedule this shift” button to complete your registration.
Please verify all information and write down your time (column header), Patron # (row header) and UNDO code (case sensitive) BEFORE hitting the “Schedule This Shift” button. You cannot go back and verify what you entered without UNDOing and rescheduling your shift.
4) IMPORTANT: Even if you get an error that tells you that someone else has scheduled this shift, return to (Click to redraw) the main page and verify that your name is listed in the COLUMN (time) and ROW (Worker #) you tried to schedule.   Do not schedule a 2nd shift before verifying whether or not your name is listed.   
I can return to this site to:
1) check for cancellations.
2) help others schedule.
3) review the instructions for this opportunity.
4) UNDO my shift.
To UNDO your shift: find your name on the signup table, click the UNDO box under your name on the signup sheet and enter the UNDO code you created when registering in the prompt box
************************************************END OF COPIED INSTRUCTIONS
For those who are new to the online sign-ups or for those who want to remind themselves how to use it, the link at the bottom of this email will take you to a practice signup. Feel free to play on it as much as you would like, but PLEASE use the UNDO code to cancel the shifts so the practice sign-up will always have open shifts for others to practice with. You create your UNDO code while you are filling out the information for Step 3 above.
 
Remember the real links won’t be sent via email until September 9th. Links will not work until 10pm that night. There will be a different link for each day we are scheduling.
Here is the link to the practice sign-up: (you may have to hold down the CTRL key when clicking on it)

TODAY—Ward Choir practice at Bob and RobbiAnn Sorensen’s home at 1:30 pm. Pres. Rogers asked the 11th ward choir to sing at the Saturday night session of Stake Conference, Aug 20th. Today’s practice is the one time to prepare to sing a choir favorite, “Saints Behold How Great Jehovah”. Youth choir members are invited to sing at the meeting and will be able to leave right after we sing. (probably by 7:15 pm) It’s never too late to join the ward choir!!

There is a 15 year old boy from Mexico who is looking for a family who would be willing to host him for 4 months. He would like to go to school here for one semester. If anyone is interested, contact Sunday Horman for more details. 801 318-7493.

School Bag Project ends September 1st. Thank you for responding so well to our school bag project. We especially appreciate (Karen’s daughter) Shannon Smith’s sewing a lot of our bags—the red ones—so please give her a big thank you when you see her! We have another 15 or so bags that need to be filled and now is the time since items are low-priced! Remember, when these are filled, we won’t be sewing any more bags. Please give them to Marta D., Marta V. or Mary Jane (as Connie will be out of town) before September 1st.
Our next project is Hygiene Kits. Please take a hand-out that is in the RS notebooks. Read it carefully and turn in COMPLETED KITS only! Label the bags with masking tape and your name. Since this is a family project, we will send around a sign-up sheet for the estimated number of kits your family plans to donate by the end of October. We have set a minimum goal of 500 from our ward. (That’s just a dent in a disaster.) Questions? Call Mary Jane, 801 796-7449. Again, we thank you for your helping hands!
FYI: If you donate money under humanitarian aid on the tithing slip, it automatically goes to church headquarters in Salt Lake. Some have thought the money remained in our ward. Not so. Just so you know.
STAKE CHOIR PRACTICE, for Stake Conference (August 21st), will be held

Humanitarian News
Church-wide needs: “The current needs at the LDS Humanitarian Center include girls’ dresses, sizes 2-6 and 10-16.”
These should be practical, washable, and in new/nearly new condition. Please check seams, buttons, zippers, snaps, cleanliness etc. If you need help with the mending, let us know. Simple dresses are easy to sew. I have several patterns; call me (MJ). Many of you are probably cleaning out closets about now so it would be a good time to get these items together to donate to DI. Items may be dropped off at any of our homes (Mary Jane, Marta V, Marta D, Connie S) or brought to church.
Local news: By the way, be on the lookout for school bag items. Prices should be getting more reasonable. We will be handing out the bags and sending around a sign-up sheet for participation later in the summer! Remember, items are pencils, erasers, colored pencils, small pencil sharpener, scissors, 12” metric ruler, and glued/spiral bound notebooks @450 pages.
Thanks for all your service!

Jam and Salsa!

Several shifts are still available for Salsa. Because of the number of open shifts, we have cancelled Thursday, June 16th and have asked all who are scheduled on that day to reschedule their shift.

If you are still interested in registering for salsa, the links for registering are at the end of this email. For those who are new to the online registration process, please carefully read the instructions found at the top of each sign-up. If you still have questions after reading the instructions, please feel free to call the Cannery at 801-785-0998. Make sure to be at your computer and have this email open so we can quickly walk you through the process.

After the large number of no-shows and cancellations on Jam, we are reviewing several facets of scheduling family canning--including offering fewer days per product. In trying to meet the implied demand for Jam, we continued to add more days to our schedule. Every day was full so we ordered enough product to fill those days. When it came time to produce the jam, we had an inordinate number of cancellations and no shows. Some shifts were missing up to half of the needed patrons. We schedule the exact number of patrons needed to efficiently produce the product so, we are counting on every person who signs up. We need you to be as committed to being here as we are to providing the opportunity for you to come.

Please help us by reviewing the following concerns:

When you schedule a shift, it is your responsibility to write down the date, time, your UNDO code and patron# so you can responsibly supervise your own sign-up.

-Some said they couldn’t UNDO their shift because they couldn’t find their name listed.

You can always call the Cannery for help. We may remind you of your responsibility to write down your scheduling information, but we will help you.

-Some said they didn’t receive a reminder of their shift so they forgot to come.

Reminders were sent on April 28th , but they are only sent as a courtesy. This is never a valid reason for missing your shift. The fact that some did not receive the reminder is beyond our control. This is why you need to write down your scheduling information when you sign up.

-Some said they didn’t know how to contact us to cancel once the signup became inactive.

The Cannery’s phone number is given several times in the emails we send during Family Canning signups. You are asked to keep all of the emails we send until after you finish your shift. Please add our number (801-785-0998) to the contact information on your computer or cell phone so it is readily available to you as well. We will try to remember to put the phone number on each sign-up as well.

Do not use the email system to cancel your shift once the signup has become inactive.

Because we are busy trying to carry out the details prior to and during family canning, we are not able to monitor the emails as closely as we do during registration. We need to know as soon as possible that you will not be coming to your shift so we know what is available to those still trying to get registered. If no one is available to take your call, you are always welcome to leave a message. Our missionaries are very good about checking the phone messages between shift check-ins.

Please understand that the Lindon Cannery is very willing to offer Family Canning opportunities. We hope this is evident in how we are always trying to improve your experience when coming to participate. However, in order to utilize the Cannery’s facilities effectively, we need you to place a high priority on managing your sign ups so we can keep our shifts full and ready to work. Please let us know if there has been any oversight on our part in providing these opportunities.

Sincerely,
Lindon Cannery

We have a number of openings for Jam for today (May 11th) and tomorrow (May 12th) that can be scheduled by calling the Cannery @ 801-785-0998. All of the signups for Jam will be taken offline later today. When the signup says “THIS SIGNUP IS CURRENTLY CLOSED” you must call the Cannery @ 801-785-0998 to cancel your shift or check for shift availability.
 
Remember: We have the gift boxes that holds two pints of jam. Some have used them to put in a pint of jam and a loaf of bread. Great gift idea. They will also work for the salsa and spaghetti sauce pints. You do not need to be scheduled for family canning to purchase the boxes. They are 50 cents each.

Family Canning Salsa/Spag​hetti Sauce

The signups for Salsa and Spaghetti Sauce will open on May 7th @ 6:05 a.m. (That’s right! You can sleep an extra 5 minutes!!! No need to say Thank You.)

- There will be a limit of 6 cases per person for each product and both products will cost $15.00/case of 12 pint jars (16 oz).
- You are only allowed to sign up for one shift per person.
- If you are not ordering the full limit, please only schedule one person per household to be fair to others.
- If you are helping a 2nd person sign up, it must be under a different name. Duplicate registrations (2nd entry with the same name) will be deleted so others will have the chance to sign up.

Please pay special attention to the FDA rules on how to dress for your shift. The weather will be warm by that time (fingers crossed, prayers answered) and you will be tempted to wear shorts and sandals/flip-flops. DO NOT WEAR SHORTS OR SANDALS/FLIP-FLOPS TO YOUR SHIFT. We have some real fashion-statement boots that you will be asked to wear—that many other people have also worn—if you do not comply.

Those who were able to sign up for Jam: Reminders for your shifts will be sent on Thursday, April 28th or Friday, April 29th. Please make sure that the date and time listed on the reminder is when you thought you were coming and be sure that you are still able to fill this shift. If there is a conflict, please go to the sign-up link and UNDO your shift so those who are waiting to sign up can fill your spot.

Those who are waiting for an opportunity to sign up for Jam: Return to the links often to see if spots have become available. You are looking for a box that says “Schedule this shift” on a day (link) and time (signup column) that you are available to come and work. There will either be a name with an UNDO box or a “Schedule This Shift” box in each available spot. If you see any blank boxes, it means we did not need that spot on that shift.

If you go to the website and it says “This Sign-up is Currently Closed”, that is when you need to call the Cannery (801-785-0998) to cancel your shift or check for available openings.

Prices at LDS canneries show inflation

Prices at LDS canneries show inflation for food up between 11 and 49%
By Kenneth Schortgen Jr, Finance Examiner
April 7th, 2011 1:17 pm ET
Price inceases on April 4th at the LDS canneries show inflation up between 11 and 49% for many basic food staples. These rise in prices are a strong barometer for the overall economy since the LDS facilities are usually the last to raise prices for their communities, which provides food in bulk that they can collect through their vast networking operations.
According to the new price list from April 4th, many food staples have increased by more than 20% since the last price list came out just 3 months ago on January 3rd.

Beans. Black 13.69%
Beans, Pinto 12.13%
Beans, White 11.88%
Milk, Non Fat Dry 25.00%
Rice 38.99%
Sugar 33.81%
Wheat, Red/White 44.54%
Apple Slices 24.53%
Carrots 21.31%
Macaroni 40.25%
Oats, Quick 48.90%
Oats, Regular 49.19%
Onions 21.60%
Potato Flakes 33.33%
Spaghetti 38.99%
Beans, Refried 27.72%
Cocoa Mix 40.69%
Flour 29.70%
Fruit Drink Mix 26.20%

LDS churches and organizations have long been at the forefront in preparedness for families and communities. As one of the wealthiest corporations in the world, their network of companies and church affiliations allow them access to cheaper food sources, and the capacity to store them for long periods of time through their canning facilities.
As the government and Federal Reserve continues to tell the American people that inflation is low, and contained by their monetary policies, the real barometer of inflation in the economy comes from the grocers, markets, and institutions that deal with food sales and production, and must monitor prices daily as commodities continue to climb.
The LDS's raising food prices at their canneries by 11 to 49% in just three months should be a serious wakeup call to all Americans on the true inflationary conditions that exist in our economy, and that we need to constantly look outside government reports for the true data affecting our spending and finances.

ONE MORE DAY FOR JAM!

We are adding one more day for Jam, but this is the last day we will be able to offer. Please do not schedule for more than one shift per person at this time. We want as many people as possible to have a chance to get on the schedule. We also ask that if you become aware of schedule conflicts, please remember to UNDO your shift so others will be able to come.

At 5:00 pm today (April 5th) we will open another sign up for Wednesday, May 18th. You may go to the link and read the instructions beforehand, just remember to refresh your screen at 5:00 so the page will become active to sign up.

http://www1.mysignup.com/cgi-bin/view.cgi?datafile=6jam_wed_may_18

Click on the above link to schedule. Keep this email to have all the links necessary to check back over the next couple of days for updated openings. Please remember to only schedule one person per household unless you are ordering more than the 6 case limit per person.

All information below is a copy of the email sent last Friday. Those who didn’t receive this email previously will need to read on. If you have already read this information, you can stop reading here. However, everyone who signs up for this opportunity is responsible for all information given in Friday’s email below:

Friday’s Email (+ links for all of the days listed at the bottom):

Dear Subscribers:

We just barely finished our canned beef shifts and it is already time to start thinking ahead to our next family canning opportunity! We know this is a little ahead of schedule, but we still have to finalize our fruit order—so we need you to look ahead and sign up quickly if you want to participate.

The online sign-ups for Strawberry and Marion Blackberry Jam will open on Saturday, April 2nd at 6:00 a.m. We will be processing on May 10th-13th. Each flavor of jam comes in a case of 12 pint jars. Strawberry Jam will cost $18.60/case and Marion Blackberry Jam will cost $25.20/case. There is a combined limit of 6 cases. (Example: 4 cases strawberry + 2 cases marionberry = the 6 case limit. OR 6 cases strawberry + 0 cases marionberry = 6 case limit.)

Everyone knows that strawberry jam is wonderful; but for those who have never tasted the Marionberry Jam, we lovingly call it the “celestial kingdom jam”--so don’t miss out! (smiling)
To help you plan ahead, we will tell you that jam has a “best by” date of 3 years but will store on the shelf for a long, long time. We also rotate the flavors every other year. So, next year—IF we have time to offer jam (depending on our welfare assignments for the Church)--we probably won’t be doing these two flavors.

The Cannery always wants to work at full capacity, so please offer any unwanted cases to someone who isn’t able to come and work a shift. Have them pay you for their cases and you pay the Cannery. (We can not accept payment from those who don’t actually come to work at our facility.) Also, until we see how quickly sign-ups will fill up, please do not schedule multiple people from the same household if you are not ordering more than the 6 case limit. This request allows more people to participate.

Please remember that the shifts last for 2.5 hours. This is so we can continue to work while the next shift is being oriented. We have had several people come to their shift and ask to leave early. You need to make sure you schedule your shift at a time that you can stay for the entire 2.5 hours.

Also, please read all instructions for each signup page so you understand any differences in product availability. You are accountable for knowing and remembering what you are committing to do. Even though the online signups are not yet open for scheduling, you can still look at the signups beforehand and read the instructions by selecting the link you want to schedule:

We filled up very quickly on the jam, so we will be opening another day, Tuesday, May 17th, for production.

Keep this email to have all the links necessary to check back over the next couple of days for updated openings. Please remember to only schedule one person per household unless you are ordering more than the 6 case limit per person.

From an LDS member in Japan about Preparedness

Hi Everyone,
We're doing "fine" here. Considering what is going on around us. When the first big quake hit, around 2:45 in the afternoon on Friday, I ran to Gray's room and grabbed him out of his crib. We've had plenty of earthquakes in the 2.5 years we've been here, but this one was huge. Gabe started crying and calling for me --I got him too and we huddled on the stairs away from windows and light fixtures. The two big boys were walking home from school and came in while the house was still shaking. They thought it was exciting. I yelled at them to "GET BACK OUTSIDE!" because I'd just been told if you're outside, you're supposed to stay outside! I sat on the stairs praying: "Please protect my kids, please protect my kids, please protect my kids..." It seemed to last forever (around 5 minutes I've heard) and then the aftershocks just kept coming and coming. They're still coming.

They evacuated the hospital and Doug was able to come home around 4. [I can't tell you what a relief it was to have my whole entire family safe and together. And how upsetting it was/is to think of people all over Japan who have family unaccounted for. It's really hard for me whenever one of the husbands has to leave.]

Since then, the power has been out and we haven't had any heat or access to phones (to the states) or Internet (except Doug getting one e-mail out from the hospital.) Friday evening we moved our friends in with us (Tami and Wes and three kids) since they just shipped all of their stuff to the states in preparation for their move in two weeks. It's been nice to have them around because everyone is on edge and extremely stressed. (And Tami is very cool under pressure! She's amazing. Me, not so much turns out.)

Yesterday (Saturday) they opened the commissary (No lights, cash only) and we grabbed some extra food, water and diapers. Since we have the standard Mormon "food storage" I wasn't too worried about running out of food or water, but I didn't have any spare diapers so was happy to buy three big boxes yesterday for Gray-Gray. (And yes, I bought two big cans of hot chocolate. Priorities, people!)

We went to church for a shortened meeting to take the sacrament and get the news today. All members of the branch have been accounted for and we've heard that all the missionaries in Japan are accounted for also. (Big relief.)

The power is now back on off-base which is how I have Internet access right now. We're at Tami's house. Hopefully it stays on.

I must say it was pretty frustrating to try to get into my email to contact my Mom (who's not answering the phone) and not be able to log in. I decided to try to leave a message for her via my blog which is when I discovered I'd been hacked. I was extremely frustrated and not even remotely thrilled about that! Dear B and C, please PLEASE don't ever hack my blog again. For any reason!!! Also, sometimes you're not funny. This was one of those times.

Anyway, evidently Misawa is going to become the base for rescue operations in nearby prefectures. We were asked at church to see what extra coats, blankets, food and water we can round up to donate to the Japanese people nearby. I feel heart sick thinking of those who've lost homes and loved ones. Although you probably know much more than me, I hear the devastation is extremely great. We were lucky to be so safe on base and grateful our off-base friends and neighbors were okay.

The earthquakes (aftershocks) haven't stopped and I spent all night last night having nightmares about running from collapsing and buckling buildings. The kids are on edge and tantrums are at an all time high. They keep busy playing during the day, but when it gets dark and we have to ration flashlights and candles it gets extra hard to keep the peace.

A few things I've been wanting to tell people and note for the future:

*Get an old school, corded phone. If the power goes out, your cordless wont work. We were lucky to have a corded phone upstairs which helped Doug coordinate with the Branch President to get accountability of church members. (The phones have worked on-base off and on, but we were never able to get a call through to the states.)

*Speaking of accountability, in an emergency, if you're going to leave your house--leave a note on the door saying where you are going so when guys from church or work coming looking, they'll know where you are.

*When the power went out, people off base couldn't get their cars out of their garage. Turns out there is a special crank to use but most of our friends didn't have it or know what it was. Luckily Tami had parked outside and was able to get her kids to our house Friday.

*We've been cooking with our camping equipment. Note to self: Buy a 20 pack of small propane tanks. We've also used our outdoor BBQ (in the cold) and I'm wishing I had a spare tank of Propane for that. (We still don't have power and don't know when it will come back on On Base. Estimates have said 24 hours (we're way past that) to 1 week, to indefinite.)

*Do you have an extra refill of your prescriptions in your 72 hour kit? It's terrifying to imagine running out of the things you take every day. Also, the thought of my kids getting sick and not having enough Children's Advil and/or Tylenol made me pretty nervous until I verified we had some of each.

*For ONCE I was glad to be doing Dave Ramsey yesterday when we had plenty of cash on hand to shop at the commissary. But we also have a cash and yen emergency fund hidden in the house for back-up which was very comforting.

*While I'm making notes to myself: Buy a hand crank wheat grinder and blender! (We have a freezer full of frozen fruit to make smoothies but no way to blend anything.)

*Flashlights are a pain in my butt. All of our stupid Rayovac crappy-**** batteries that I had stored for an emergency, LEAKED! So the flashlights are all slowly dying, being over used by the children, and being misplaced. The best source of light the last two nights has been the pillar candles I've had in the cupboard for fancy table settings. They seem to burn pretty slow and shed a lot of light. I've gone through 3 and have 1 left. Wish I had a 20 pack of those in my 72 hour pack. It would be nice not to worry about running out. Small, light weight, energy efficient lanterns would be nice too.

*Also, my next house will have a wood burning fire place. This all would have been much easier if we could have been warm.

*Also, I'm buying all my kids a down comforter. We have one on our bed and we've been fine at night, but the kids need 20 blankets piled up to stay warm. (Actually, the two big boys each have a two layer fleece blanket which is pretty warm, but unfortunately, they're not very big.)

(Poor little Gray had to spend yesterday in his snow suit to stay warm. The poor little guy must be sensing the stress because he's been quite out of sorts. He's always shivering (even when bundled) and very clingy. The kids are all confused and upset but mostly hanging in there. Like I said, it's been nice to have friends to keep us company.)

Sorry, I'm rambling on and on but I've had all this stress for the last two days and my main way to process is by writing my thoughts down. So I've been going a little nuts feeling so disconnected.

A few more random thoughts:
*The last two days this thought kept running through my head "All are safely gathered in.". I can't express enough how glad I was/am to have my family around me. Please say a prayer for our many many friends with deployed spouses. This is a very stressful time here and it's really sucky for them to be apart. Also, please pray for all the Japanese people who are missing or displaced. So sad.

*We were very blessed on base to have running (freezing cold) water. Off base, sewer lines broke and contaminated the water supply they weren't even supposed to touch it.

*Today we sang "I Need Thee Every Hour" at church. Has a lot of meaning right now.

Okay, there are other people who need to use this computer. Everyone on base is coming off base to try to contact family.

Tami's husband (Pilot) is at work trying to coordinate rescue efforts so I should go down and help her take care of the multitude of children and get everyone some lunch.

Please pray for us (us being everyone in Japan) and if you feel so inclined, find a way to send some warm blankets to people who've lost their homes. Don't know when I'll be back on-line again, but hopefully soon.

Thanks to everyone for your concern. I knew (figured) there were people praying for us back in the states and it helped to think about that.
