More Sewing...

I made this little wristlet for a friend's birthday yesterday.

Hope she liked it as much as I did...I just adore this fabric!!

Pattern: Wristlets Three Ways by Elizabeth Hartman of Oh, Fransson!
Style: B1
Pattern Purchased: here - on Etsy
Fabric: Floragraphix by Jason Yenter

* I decided to purchase this pattern because I have used several wonderful free tutorials from the Oh, Fransson blog.  I liked the way the directions were written, and wanted to support future free patterns by purchasing a for sale one.  Even though I have sewn lots of bags, I still learned stuff from this pattern, and I am very glad I bought it. 

Farm Share Week 3!

We changed our Farm Share Pick up day to Tuesday - so now you will get to see the farm share updates on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning!

Last week's most notable recipe for the farm share was shredded Kohlrabi and chopped swiss chard stems steamed with stewed tomatoes and kiebasa.  Mmmm.  Of course, we had lots of salads and sauteed greens, but that's not really a recipe to share.

Cilatro, Scallions, Garlic Chives, Beets, little Turnips, two heads of lettuce, and my MOST FAVORITE Narragansett Creamery cheese - Atwells Gold.  It tastes like a cross between asiago and parmasean.  Due to a mix up last week, we also got more yogurt, AND I finally got a chance to buy some farm fresh eggs. (They've been out the last two weeks.)

Secret Craft Reveal!

On Sunday, I finally got to give Nean the swag I had made for her bridal shower:

An apron edited to add - the pattern is Emmeline Apron and I bought it from Sew Love Fabrics on etsy (along with the pink and red print fabrics for all the stuff below).

Towels:
(oops I forgot to take pictures, but they are very cute and matching flour sack towels)

placemats:

and potholders:

Plus the shower was fun!

guilty pleasures...

A new guilty pleasure I recently started...Hulu.

I am halfway through Season One of the Doogie Howser Series. 
Sad, I know.  But I'm enjoying it.

What were your favorite shows when you were a kid?

Farm Share Week 2...

This week's farm share had similar veggies - no more radishes and we got a flower to plant in the ground.  The cheese was queso blanco, and we got yogurt.  To identify individual vegetables, click on the picture and go to flickr - where there are notes on top.

I really enjoyed trying out tons of new recipes last week - and used up the rest of last week's share in tonight's dinner.  It was especially interesting trying all the different greens, some I liked, some I didnt...all were easy to cook.
