garden update

and random shots of my life...

been weeding and harvesting...had some fresh bruschetta last night - a favoriteof mine...
But I'm in need of eggplant recipes, -- anyone?
I'm open to any suggestions, I love to grow it - but have very little experience cooking it...
I harvested my first tomato [talladega] yesterday!oops! It must have been eaten before the photo was taken...

been debating disposing of the rabbit guts and leg my favorite cat has left for me on the carport, he seems a little protective of it so I'm hoping it'll all be cleaned up in a couple of hours [we're all about the circle of life around here...]

been finishing up some knit projects...[love the pig model, don't you?]
and am hoping that the two little people who receive these can look past my beginning knitting efforts and accept them as a hand crafted work of love... [Gotta say, I've found knitting to be very relaxing and fun!]

been cleaning bathrooms and dusting / vacuuming upstairs and now I'm off to clean-up my scrap area and replace my glass mat on my work surface... I'm not sure if I've shared how I attempted to set a grommet with a pounding hammer on my other glass work surface - thinking as I did it, "This is going to shatter into a million little pieces.." as I pounded away... and it did... so thankful the little shards of glass didn't end up in my eyes [you know I've had two instances of ulcer-like wounds on my eyes from metal bits being embedded that had to be 'shaved' off...- who even knows how that happened...] but liking the look of my first fabric scrapbook page -[This is the intro page for my Inspired album and incorporated all the things I learned - painting -- yes, look at those noses!-- beading, metal work, and mixed media art]
After Craig and I went to breakfast this morning we did a walk through goodwill and I picked up a picture for $10 and he took the glass out for me to use [my other glass mat was acquired there also] oh! [and I'm rambling here...] we got some comic books from the 1960s and 70s too... kind of fun since I was never allowed to have comic books as a kid...
- have a great weekend everyone
