NOTE: Now that I remember what was going on the day I shot this video, I had been experimenting with different food based powders for eye shadow. Some got in my eye and made it water thus causing my eye make up to run and get under my eye. I did not realize I did not get it all off before shooting this video nor did I notice it in editing. I did NOT have a black eye! My husband and I have a great marriage, have been married 30 years and he has never once struck me. Our marriage is actually the best it has ever been.
I didn't even notice until I read this. But the real question is....does Uncle Pat get a black eye when you wield that frying pan? 😉
Hahahaha!
Thank you for sharing so much wisdom and knowledge with us 😁I’m learning so much from your videos and enjoy
them all. 🥰
Girl, I didn’t notice anything about your eyes. I’m sorry you feel like you have to explain.😜
Stay safe and have a great weekend coming up 🌺 xoxo
I didn't notice. And even if I would have, I probably wouldn't have thought anything,, like that. I think you two are evenly "yoked"! :-))
We've all got "black eye" stories. Mine is having had a 95 lb dog barrel down the stairs when I was going up, taking my feet out from under me. The howls of laughter at work about how I looked as though I'd gone a few rounds with Mike Tyson nearly (not quite though) made up for how painful it actually was. I was lucky no face bones were broken!
Has anyone told you lately that you are A GREAT CREATIVE woman?
Well here’s a shout out to you my Dear
👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Thank you Dee :)
Thank you. God’s blessings on you dear people
Absolutely love your hair like this! I'm learning so much from you. Thank you!
Wow! This opened a whole new room in my mind. Thanks for sharing this. I need to start hitting garage sales also. Great, simple, cheap. What more could we ask. Thanks and Jesus bless.
And all the time, God is good
love your channel! Great tips.. you are the Queen of country living!
I truly love all your videos. Your complete and simple honest way of sharing your life knowledge is inspiring! Thank you always.
Thank you!
Nice and easy. Thanks for this tip. I just took our dehydrator out of the box and I washed up the trays. We have a book coming tomorrow on dehydrating food. I clicked on your link and purchased a bleeder kit. We are really looking forward to getting started. We am just about ready to start our colloidal silver. Thanks to your videos and your generator. Thank you again for your videos we enjoy them very much. May God Bless your work. 🎈🦋
Thank you Heidi! You're so clever! Oh, I didn't even notice your "black eye"! 👍😂
Just what I was looking for!! Thank Heidi😀
My sis sent me your channel, such a clever idea and frugal to beat thank you!!
Thanks for showing the cloth covering the rack next to the wood stove. Great idea. I do have some plastic trays I was going to cut down but I also prefer to avoid the plastic if I can. Thank you!
Lady, you are too smart for your own good, but I am glad you share the knowledge!!! Hanging around your channel has introduced me to so many things I would have missed out on! You are simply awesome! May God continue to bless you and all that you do. Thank you!!!
That is so kind, thank you!
OMG. Valuable info AND a cute hairstyle idea.
Thanks, Heidi. You just gave me the use for all of those "dead elastic" fitted sheets I just took out of my linen closet. :) (Didn't notice the eye at all!)
What a great idea!!!! Thank you for sharing this.
I desperately needed this!
Love the cloth idea
Thank you! Before I saw this, I was going to give up on using my similar dehydrator; which I got for under 10, new “used”, at an auction. I became uncomfortable with the thought of using it, because of the plastic. However, now, after getting these ideas from your video; I believe that my cheap, “old school” dehydrator and myself can be friends after all. Thank You!
Thank you for sending me the link to this video. This is wonderful I can’t wait to make this for my dehydrator so I can try to dehydrate cheese.
Again, you are the best! Thank you so much! And, thank you for the email on how to order your products with your new ordering system. I will be ordering soon.
Thank you. I really like the cloth screens. I'll be looking for some sheets now.
Awesome idea. Thank you so very much!
Thank you for the wonderful life lessons you share with us. So many times I have referred back to your videos for information. My Gma died, then 6 weeks later my Mom died. I had asked for recipes and told Gma I wanted to learn how to can. Your videos has opened up learning opportunities that I never dreamed I would want to know. And the age old saying "A picture is worth a thousand words." Amen to that. I will replay a section to make sure my process is turning out the way you showed it.
Keep the lessons coming this student is ready and very much enjoys them.
May God richly Bless you for all you do.
Thank you so much Janet!
Love all the helpful info.💙
This is a very cool idea… never ever thought of doing this, but geez it’s gonna save me some headaches, that’s for sure…. Thanks got the great tip👍🏼
I have been too "frugal" to put out the money on the screens. I love this idea! I'll be watching for those sheets at garage sales now.
Heidi you are such a wealth of knowledge. I am so excited I have some sheets that I can do this with oh my it's going to be so nice. Thank you thank you for all that you share where were you many many years ago so I can learn this all younger but I'm thankful my daughter who is in her twenties is learning Young. I I'm learning the canning I do and the things that I try I'm the Oddball in the family LOL but you know what it makes my heart sing I have so much fun and I loved it provides for my family and also for gifts. Plus I Mentor people here hopefully give it a try. I always tell people about your channel and share it because I value so much of what you do and we can all learn to do things better no matter what age. If we quit learning what fun is life we can learn forever. My mom has a friend who is 99 and she always shares with her the different things my daughter and I are doing and many of them are things you have shared and this older lady who is almost blind just gets the biggest giggles. So I just share that because you never know the lives that you're reaching
Thank you so much for this! Needed this today :)
I think this is a lot better than the plastic. Love the way you are always thinking outside of the box.
Ask a question and she delivers a perfect answer...thanks Heidi!
Thanks for sharing this!
Thank you for this great information! I just started using my dehydrator.
What a great idea. I just happen to have some unbleached muslin in my fabric stash. I was going to make a few milk bags...now I can do this too. I agree about those clean screens. This makes more sense.
You are so talented. Ty so much😊
🥰
You have saved me the expense of mesh dehydrator sheets that I was about to buy. I have several flour-sack cloths just lying around doing nothing but occasional cleaning duty. Thank you!
Brilliant 👏
Thanks for this.
I had been using parchment to make circles, but using your method would be better and save money! I love it!
The parchment would still be good for liquids if the sides are pinned up if one cannot afford the edged silicone sheets...which I finally found last year and love them!
I was going to make something for my dehydrators with my plastic craft screen but this is a better idea, thank you.
You have so many informative little things that become big in us, so thank you very much.
That would make the trays easier to clean, too! Mine are so hard to clean - food wants to stick to them. Ugh.
Just bought a dehydrator was going to use parchment paper but this looks like a much better idea. Thank
I never noticed anything with your eye. Thank you so much for sharing ! It makes it so much easier to have different herbs on different shelves without them falling through. Your videos are a blessing with so much excellant knowledge , especially during these times .
What a good tip
This was a great idea! I made them for my dehydrator too. It sure beats having to buy parchment paper like I used to. I folded my cloth pieces into a triangle, lined up the tip to the center of the tray, cut the tip at the edge of tray and cut the opposite side at the outer edge of the tray. They are perfect! Thank you for yet another great money and time saving idea!
Thank you, I was ordering some silicone screens today, now I can just make my own. Wow thank you again.
I’m looking for a dehydrator. I got a pressure canner now I’m on the hunt for this. I believe that we need to start preparing for our future. We have a garden and I want to put up all I can. Thank you Heidi for your information you put out. God bless y’all.
As another option I got some of the grease splatter screens at the DollarTree, removed the knob, and have used them for dehydrating. If doing small herbs or drying leftover finely shredded cheese you can use 2 screens to make a top & bottom & they will still accommodate tray height.
@Rebecca, what a great idea, will have to look for those too.
Great idea
Thank you so much for make this video. I am learning many skills at the same time and English is not my first language. With many things in my mind plus the language thing I can just be dumb with simple things like this. God bless you!!
Omy I think this is an awesome idea. Tysm Hiedi. Super neat!😊😁🌹💖
Hi Heidi, I love this idea and so easy and frugal. I can't wait to try it. Thanks so much. And thanks for the quick turnaround on the seeds I ordered. GIGATT 🙋♀️
This is such a wonderful idea, thank you Heidi, you have the greatest tips and I love that they are always frugal, blessings
My fruit leather trays are pretty much tied up with making tomato flakes/powder all the time now and that was putting me in a bind dehydrating ground meats, so I cut a few of these for the meat. Thank you so much for the idea! These work fantastic. A plus is any greasy moisture I haven't gotten squeezed out doesn't just sit there with the meat. I'm using an old sheet I got at a yard sale and was slowly tearing into strips as needed to tie up tomatoes so they really are something for almost nothing. My new wine making interest (working on freeze distilling my own alcohol) is coming along nicely. On a sad note, this covid mess has taken things I like to do such as canning, freezing, drying, tincturing, making salves and medicine etc. and sucked out some of the joy, realizing it truly is more urgent than ever, especially since this is the first time I ever saw my store shelves actually bare 🙁
Thank you. I wondered about cloth instead of the berry screen. I don't like that delicate herbs fall through to the bottom and don't stay intact for my teas and tincture. Thanks Heidi, a simple easy idea. Your time taken to share with us is very much appreciated.
Always Great Ideas Heidi, thank you and God Bless ! Hope you all are doing great
Thank you ! This video just saved me a ton. I've been on the fence about spending money on the liners and now I don't have to !! Thank you again !
Thank you!
This is a fabulous idea! Not to mention if you happen to have some residual grease in jerky, or hamburg, or whatever the cloth will absorb it so it isn't lying on the meat causing potential problems. I love this, as I hate the plastic liners. Thank you! And I would never, ever have thought that of Pat.
Sounds good
And just why did I not think of this??? So simple, neat and easy. Thanks for the great information.
I was just going to order some plastic trays, but now I know how to make them. Thank you for saving me the money.
Heidi, I finished making cloth covers for my Nesco last night. I used a regular canning ring face down for my inner circle. The other thing I did was put 2 baking soda boxes on tray to hold it in position. I have to jump up in the middle of my projects, a lot. This would be helpful if one has small children or is caring for the elderly. Thank you for your hard work getting videos out for us during your busy times. I have learned so much from you. God bless.
Thank you so much for sharing this!!! I have wondered how to keep smaller things from falling through!! I love your videos!!!
I am going to do this thanks.
Thank you
And a very great tip!!! Thank you for adding this tutorial detail.
Your ideas are so wonderful. Might try this on my big excalibur dryer. Thankyou .
I used the extra fabric from the outside for squares for my vinegar jars. The thin material works great with a jar ring, instead of having to mess with stretching a rubber band over the fabric [for those of us who can be a little clutzy :) ].
Yep, I believe I mention that in my videos that are specifically on ways to upcycle different fabrics such as old sheets:, jeans, T-shirts, and more in this playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLzVtTPDzFPKGTcxjYOI32THt-m7xoSwNs
Great hack. I saw your previous video and made up some sheets. I have a Cosori dehydrator with square racks. Dried my bread crumbs, perfect.
Thank you for sharing your fabulous ideas and experience. I'm digging up some cotton fabric and making these for my dehydrator! You are the best!!!!!
Heidi, thanks for the perfect for me video. I'm heading to Jo Ann's fabrics soon. You are so right.
Thanks, Heidi! I cut parchment paper rounds for my dehydrator racks, but I like this method better.
Gonna definitely make a few of these for my dehydrators. Another great idea Heidi! & the little rooster is cute.
Glad you posted this. I think using plastic & heat is a bad thing, but still saving for an all metal dehydrater.
Just what I was looking for. Thank you
Took your advice from the earlier video and cut to fit my square dehydrator trays. Love how they keep little things from falling through!
Genius! Blessings and take care. Mary
I got my dehydrator two weeks ago and have been using the mesh mats that came with the dehydrator. Cleaning the mesh mats is a hassle. I’m definitely going to make some cloth covers that I can throw in the wash.
Fantastic tip!!! Why don't I think of tips like yours!!!?????
Thanks Heidi same thing for me!!! So that’s what I am going to do also!! Your sooooo clever!! 😁👍🏽🌹🌺
Hi! I'm new to dehydrating and this sounds like a great idea. I got just 2 of those plastic screens with my Nesco so now I'll just be making a few more protectors. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, I would never have thought of this, so glad especially for herbs.
God bless you this is so cool. Will be cutting out tonight
What a great idea. Interesting that it speeds up the dehydrating time. Thanks!
That’s a wonderful idea! Thank you Heidi.❤️
Good morning, Heidi!!! I don't think it looks like a shiner AT ALL. I've had a few. Pretty obvious it's makeup. My sisters used to run like that.
Great idea for the tray covers. I've been using parchment paper but I'll switch over. I got the Excalibur 5 tray with my stimulus money. I'm VERY happy with quantity I can get done. This will expedite removing the very small bits. Thanks.
@Rain Country - Hey Heidi, I've use parchment paper when dehydrating small things. The only thing I think with that is it may take longer due to the solid surface vs cotton fab. I've never timed the difference, so...it does work though. Now, I'm going to get some cotton fab though, lol. I've never gave it too much thought til now! Thank you!!
Awesome idea Heidi!!!
Thanks Tim!
Loved this video, I've been using parchment paper and that gets expensive. 👍 thanks. God Bless you
Heidi, what a nice idea! I am going to have to give it a try. Thank you for another great video.
OMG I’m gonna do that…
I have so many issues with my items falling through which is not only aggravating but time consuming on picking every individual pieces out of the racks where they get hung up…
I don’t have a garden because I don’t have a green thumb LOL… but I go out in the woods and forage…
Your a God send…🙏💕
Blessed Be
One thing I've discovered with my Nesco is if I take the top off while it's still running, the dried herbs sometimes are sucked up against the top. So I put an empty rack on top of my herbs and eliminated that issue.
I now lay one of the cloth pieces over the top rack before putting the top on.
I just used the actual rack for the pattern. It worked pretty well. I have two kinds of dehydrators so some fit better than others, LOL.
Thanks for the information. I always disliked the small particles of my herbs falling through and getting into the dehydrator. My dehydrator finally stop working so I am looking for a new one. I will probably get the round one like you have which is what I had before. Thanks for all you do. I am learning so much from you.
Love this idea I tried this this year and it was great also got my dehydrators at yard sales almost brand new thanks for all your great information, my cedar vinegar will be ready in a couple weeks
genius
This is perfect! I was about to buy some more of those screens when I saw this! I've been absent because we've been busy buying and moving to our new homestead! It needs a bunch of work, but it is ours!😊 I thought I'd pass on the good news!
I was wondering how you were doing, that is great news Natasha! Congratulations!!!
@@RainCountryHomestead Thanks!!!♥️ I have been missing listening to you guys! I got my sister in law hooked on watching you. She just thinks you are awesome! She has started dehydrating everything...even eggs! I hadn't thought to do that!
Great job thank you
Great video as always! Lol I didn't even notice your eye being discolored haha! I am excited to c the makeup videos after u r done experimenting!!! Something to look forward to:) Stay safe and b blessed.
