Summer Fun

To reward myself for finishing the latest work project I invested in some vintage treasures from 14carrot, one of my favorite Etsy sellers. She handmade these stitched tags, which I'm going to use along with some thrifted fabric to make a journal cover.

I've wanted this handmade pendant for a long time. I don't know why, but grapes always remind me of Italy and my dad. I'm looking for the right chain for it now.

14carrot really knows how to put together wonderful collections of vintage trims and bits and bobs to inspire me. This time I got a blue vintage glove box she made over that is packed with lovely things.

It's going to be a cool summer. :)

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.

Stuff

After finding this Caron one pound skein of lovely peach yarn in my thrifted lot I raided my stash for two cakes of Mandala in Pegasus, which matches it perfectly. For practice and hand therapy I'm going to make another Worth Street Afghan with this free pattern , but this time I'll use the yarn that was recommended for it plus the one pound skein. I'm not quite ready to do the vintage/recycled linen quilt I had planned (still a bit too nervous about the idea), so I'm going to use some color therapy and make a quilt from these thrifted green fat quarters. I considered doing another Yellow Brick road patchwork pattern, but I might go with a split rail fence like this one.

In the Kitchen Garden

Our strawberries are taking over the kitchen garden, but I don't mind. This week I want to make some strawberry banana nice cream (a vegan version of ice cream) and maybe a chocolate cake with berries and cream for the topping. There's thyme in the garden now, too, which I'll dry and jar for cooking along with the chives and the oregano. Next we'll plant cucumbers, as I use a ton of those in our salads and for snacks.
