Memories

I'm still going through my photo archives so I can copy pics of the quilts I've made to my online album of the same; this also keeps me from writing and pre-publishing too many posts for the blog. I'm struggling a bit with the latter, I admit. Having only one week planned stresses me out, but I am sticking to that goal of being (for me, anyway) more spontaneous.

In some ways it's good for me to stop writing so many posts in advance; that's given me time to do other things like the photo album. 90% of my pics I took either for my old blogs or just for myself, and no one knows what they are besides me. When I'm gone no one will want to keep them, I know, but there are a lot of beautiful memories in my archive (like that one up there.)

I'm not important enough to merit having everything I've done preserved, and I doubt my family will care about things that meant a great deal to me because they don't share my interests. So as I'm looking through these photos I do have the sense that I may be the last person to see and appreciate them.

Ah, well. That's life.

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.
