Hello my loves,
The last couple of days have been full of friends, family, and creating I will share with you a few of the things that I have been up to.
First, I spent part of yesterday afternoon mixing up four batches of pumpkin bread. The first two I turning into loafs for neighbors, The second two I have been making in to these:
Mini pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. You may ask why I felt the need to make so much. Well the pumpkin I used was a quart jar of mash I made this past winter with some of the pumpkins we grew in our garden. I still have the equivalent of 12 cups in my freezer. One batch of pumpkin bread (or soup, cookies, even pie) only takes 1 cup.
This is our garden now:
The second thing I did was put in the zipper and stitch up the back of my daughter's dress:
I know, the first picture looks like she is in time-out, but I just wanted to show you how well it came together in the back. I love invisible zipper. I even have a special foot for my sewing machine. I really feel it is coming together nicely. I only need to stitch the lining to the skirt (I think I will at least baste it by hand) Then cut out and sew the over-skirt and sash.
The shawl is also coming along nicely. I have just started the first line of the lace border.
Finally, we have been getting things ready for our annual 4th of July family camping trip. For the last two years my love and I have taken the kiddos up to a smallish lake in the mountain to go camping as a family. I am not normally a camping/hiking sort of girl. But, for this particular lake I make an exception. It is one of my favorite places in all the world, well all the world where I have been. I haven't actually traveled that much. Anyway, I love this trip and always have fun getting ready for it.
Ta ta for now,
XO
