Summer is :: growing food

Last night we had our first harvest from our garden to our table. It was momentus and delicious. I've always heard that food takes better when its local, and even better when local means your backyard. We had swiss chard, cilantro, basil, romaine salad last night for dinner. We loved every bite!

We have been busy!

For us, summer has already started. School is out, new activities have begun, our schedules have all been shuffled a bit and we are already feeling the intense heat of summer, even in the last weeks of Spring. I am starting a series for the upcoming weeks on what summer means for our family, the series is entitled “Summer is::”. Please join along and share your summer with us!

Summer is :: New outdoor toys and bike accessories

:: Works in Progress ::

Today, I thought I would share my works in progress.

First up, a set of booties for a friend who just had a baby boy.

Next, a very long time favored knitting pattern from Knitting with Peace and yarn from Blue Sky Alpacas Organic Cotton that I finally got on the needles at the beginning of May. It will be a 2^nd year birthday present for Rosemary.

and lastly, a quilt I’ve had in mind for a while now using some leftover Heather Ross' Lightning Bugs and other Mysteries collection. I think it will be the perfect way to use up the small bits and pieces that are leftover from past projects.

So there you have it. I’d love to see what you all are working on, please share!
