Hello, everyone!
We’re excited to introduce you to our newest member of the family—Jack Frost, our Harvest Right Freeze Dryer! Jack arrived at his new home in the summer of 2022, and since then, he has been a game changer in our kitchen.
Over the past year, we’ve dived headfirst into the world of freeze drying, exploring all the incredible ways to utilize Jack’s impressive capacity. This summer, we really put him to the test, experimenting with everything from candy, fruits and vegetables to full meals. The results have been nothing short of amazing,
But Jack’s impact extends beyond just our home. This journey has led us to join the freeze drying community, connecting with like-minded enthusiasts who share our passion for preserving food in a sustainable way. Inspired by our experiences, we are also starting to sell our freeze-dried products under the Wyoming Food Freedom Act, allowing us to share the fruits (and vegetables) of our labor with others.
Our ultimate goal? A fully funded life where we can continue to innovate, experiment, and provide high-quality, delicious freeze-dried options to our community. We’re thrilled to be on this journey and can’t wait to share more about our adventures with Jack!
Stay tuned for updates on our freeze-drying journey. Here’s to many more delicious creations ahead!
Warm regards,
The Waterstreets

Reusable (Un) paper towels are great way to reduce household waste and help the environment. They are washable and reusable, making them the perfect swap for disposables paper towels and napkins. Different prints will add to the tone of your home from welcoming to whimsical. Each set contains two coordinated prints.
I have been using my single ply and two ply for several months. I love them. The single ply are in a napkin holder on my table and the two ply are in my kitchen drawer. I have been amazed at how absorbent they have become. The single ply are also great for wiping my Bully boy's face - all those wrinkles.
Single Ply Set comes with 12 towels in 2 different coordinated prints.
Two Ply Set comes with 6 towels in 2 different coordinated prints.
Size is 12"x10". The size of each cloth may very slightly.
Towels are single ply or double ply - you choose. 100% cotton flannel. Edges are serged for durability and to prevent fraying.
Absorbency and softness is increased after the first few washes and will shrink just enough to be the perfect size for a standard paper towel roll.
These flannel towels naturally cling together, making it easy to roll up on a paper towel roll without the need for snaps. Or store them in a basket. Single ply also make a great cloth napkin and may be placed in a napkin holder on your table or packed in a lunch.
Washing instructions: Machine wash warm with like colors, dry in dryer. Do not add fabric softener as it will reduce their absorbency.
All items are handmade by Mrs. Mary in Cheyenne, WY.
My husband would say, "Ms. Mary's been hard at work this week." Last week one of Carrie's friends asked if I could make a baby blanket for a baby shower she was going to this week. I said sure and proceeded to ask: What color? And was there a theme? She then sent me a picture of the mural on the baby's wall and my creative brain went into overload. This is the first time I have created my own pattern for a baby quilt. I kept it simple with large pieces and hope to publish the pattern for purchase in the future. It went fairly quickly and I love the diagonal quilt lines. I see so much potential in doing this in a variety of color schemes and patterns. With the left over fabric bits, I also created two burp cloths and a fabric binky chain and threw in a beaded binky chain, too. I love creating baby things! The binky/pacifier chains are a fantastic invention and I wish I had had them when my kids were littles. I would have attached to any toy when in a stroller and to the stroller. How many items we lost while walking around!!

Appropriate as this was spoken to the people returning to rebuild the temple. I feel as I am currently, in a rebuilding phase of life.
