Hot tea with the My K Cup from Keurig

I love loose tea and the ability to mix them like a recipe, the only problem is that the tea infusers can be messy, until I had a V-8 moment with my My K Cup coffee filter... now a tea infuser! I am still playing with the idea of making videos, so here's my second video attempt with the My K Cup tea infuser!

Ode to a Singer Featherweight sewing machine- sold on Ebay

Lovely featherweight from 1941, complete with case, feet and bobbin.

Lately, I have tried my hand at selling on Ebay, instead of Etsy. And it has gone well. Although sometimes...
























I am sad to see something leave me. Today is one of those days.

pretty feather weight sewing machine, weights about 16 pounds and was intended to be carried from place to place. 

Pretty gold detailing on the body of the machine

This beauty is leaving me tomorrow and headed to Houston. And though I know I am in the business of selling things... I buy pretty things and would like to keep them.

Belt driven machine that is still in good repair! Look at that cute on/off switch. It looks like a parcheesi playing piece. 

Oh, the Egyptian Scroll Attachment plate on the end. It makes a sewist's heart flutter!

So goodbye pretty lady! Perhaps I will find a lovely replacement to look at a while until the next one sells!

My K Cup review and a life hack

As a member of Influenster, I received products to review, on occassion. My most recent review-able items was a My K Cup refillable coffee filter. I have had a refillable coffee filter with my old Keurig and was disappointed that there was not a new one for the new machines.

Well wait no more! Influenster sent me one with a pound of coffee for review on my Keurig 2.0 machine. It is as good as the previous model, but with less parts.  Lots of Pros and only one Con, which is not really a con for me, but others seem to take issue. Suffice to say, Keurig has another sales opportunity to make a carafe sized My K Cup!

Please, please Keurig, Make a My Carafe K Cup!

Pros:

Easy to Clean- dump out the wet coffee and dust out the dry a few hours later

Well Sized- fits into the K Cup holder and holds lots of coffee

Easy to Use- just fill to the tab, line up the marks on the lid and brew

Con:

Doesn't work with the carafe- this is no deal breaker for me, but judging from reviews on the site, it bothers some people.























Now for the life hack!

I'll admit, I don't like holding down the button for water to dispense to make tea. Then it hit me. I could empty the tea bag into the My K Cup and brew.
Lo and Behold... the perfect cup of tea. One bag can brew enough to have 12-14 ounce cup of tea.

Though Mr. Carson would not approve, I think it's brilliant!
