Lots of Bracelets

Thanks to my arthritis I have trouble some mornings working the clasps of the bracelets I wear to remind me which hand is weaker that day (see what people with arthritis do as hacks?), so I decided to invest in some with elastic that just slip on. I found this lot at ShopGoodwill.com. I have one jasper beaded bracelet just like the beaded ones that I like a lot. I bid on them for the minimum and won the lot with no challengers.

Here's the bundle when it arrived; let's see how they look.

Nicer in person, really, with nice quality semi-precious stone beads. I've bought bracelets like these for myself and my favorite person, and they run about $5 to $10 each. This lot of ten cost me $14.99, which works out to $1.49 each. Very good deal.

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.

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.

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.
