Food from the garden

Mmmm... It's always fun to start with dessert. These are strawberries from the little patch I started last year, which has turned out to be very fruitful.

For dinner it was a Swiss Chard and Cheese Quesadilla. Very tasty!
...and on an unrelated note. Here are two bears I made for the Mother Bear Project. These were two of three that I sent a few months ago. I really need to make a few more. It's a great cause and they are really fun and easy to make.



Got a busy weekend ahead, but if I'm lucky I'll have photos and maybe a few stories to share by the end of it.

I'm back

It's been exactly three years since my last blog. That was when me and my husband, then fiance, moved out to the country. No Internet, no cable, but loads to do. So now we have the Internet and are a little better established out here. Still no cable and probably won't get that anytime soon. We have plenty to watch between our 5 or so stations, a Netflix here and there, and the computers.
My goal with this blog is to mainly write about my knitting with a few of my other hobbies tossed in. Being almost summer, the knitting is dwindling down, but I think I'll have plenty to keep you all amused. And, even though there might be little knitting this time of year, there will never be no knitting. There will always be something in the works, for example









socks.


...and there's a cotton washcloth that's almost finished, and baby blanket halfway done, and a sweater that will probably stay tucked away until this fall, or a cold rainy day.

I'm also working on some crocheted lace... A great spring project.












...and lots of time is being spent in the gardens. More on that soon...














There might also be a couple sewing projects coming up soon and I hope to share a few patterns later on too.

So, it's good to be back and I look forward to lots of post full of good stuff for you all to enjoy!
