We went to the farmers market a couple Saturdays ago… and I made cabbage & sausage (no pics), tomato pies and a couple zucchini casseroles (no pics).
Here is a family update… Miss K is playing volleyball,
Kai is excited about Halloween (to infinity and beyond),
and Keanu has been sharing his smile more and more. I sure miss that sweet face – actually I miss all those sweet faces!
My husband picked grapes off our vines… two 5 gallon buckets of grapes! And there were many, many more left on the vines. We have gotten no grapes the past 3 years - didn’t the vines know I wasn’t canning this year? Good thing my husband helped pick through them… I washed and cooked them down and then strained the juice. Two days later I canned 3 1/4 gallons of grape juice. It’s concentrated so we add some water when we drink it and down the road if I feel like making jelly I can use some of the juice for that.
I made some granola this past week… all natural, organic, gluten free, yadda, yadda, yadda, healthy for you and oh so yummy! That filled a 2 quart jar and two pint jars.
I made some churn dash blocks out of some fat quarters that were sent to me when I was in prison recovering from my busted knee – Thanks Nancy!
A long while back Lori from Dakota City Quilter showed some blocks from a pattern called Swoon Blocks that uses 2 fat quarters and some background fabric for each block – they finish at 24 inches! I have cut out for 6 blocks (rather than the 9 from the pattern) and this one is ready for final assembly.
And last but not least… My favorite oldest girl went to the Navy Ball with her favorite handsome Navy fella… ain’t she pretty!
Well that about brings me up to date… except to say… I’ll be on the road later this week for my Annual Fall Pilgrimage to MA. I am headed up to work the Shop Hop at Southampton Quilts for the weekend and visit with my other two favorite kids…
Oh and my knee… I’m very happy with my progress since I’ve been back – still working it daily at the gym and doing the extra ART therapy… but it’s all been worth the effort! It isn’t perfect but it’s getting closer!
