Well, hello Wednesday! I thought it was Tuesday, somehow missed that I have spent two days at work already. Man…
I’ll post some pictures tomorrow for a Thoughtful Thursday post, but in the meantime, here’s an update on the garden and my sewing space.
The garden is growing like crazy! I have to get out there and weed it, but it’s currently pouring rain, so it won’t be today.
Here’s a shot of the pepper and lettuce box:
I lost once lettuce, but the rest are going strong. We’re going to have a lot of lettuce though. More salads, I guess. Next year, maybe I will split lettuce with someone, or start from seed.
Here’s the tomato box:
Holy tomatoes, Batman!
Mr. Stripey is getting very big and my smaller tomato plants, the Early Girl’s have taken off! We’re going to have so many tomatoes!
My herbs are looking good. I used some lemon thyme in shortbread cookies and they were good.
I think being in the ground has really helped the garden. It’s much easier to control the consistent watering and everything seems to be thriving.
Now for the sewing part. I wasn’t up to crawling around on the floor to get patterns cut when sick, so I didn’t do a lot of sewing. I did make a table runner for Thanksgiving.
I also made this maxi skirt. Excuse the late night, silly face.
It’s super comfy and now has a slightly shorter hem. The skirt is a cotton rayon blend and I used black double brushed poly for the waistband. It’s lovely ans swishy, but I have to wait until it stops raining to wear it. It originally had a pocket, but it looked hideous, so I took it out.
I’ve done a lot of organizing to get my space ready to sew downstairs again.
The desk still has a few things on it, but now where near as bad as it was. The new lights the Husband hing are glorious, but I think I need one in front of my machine too. It’s a little backlit at the moment. It’s much brighter though, so that’s good.
I even cleaned the little messy area on top of my storage shelves.
That’s where I lost my serger pedal. 😳 Now I can’t lose things there anymore.
In Fancy news, that darn fireplace dog is still turning up trying to stealing her toys!
Shortly after this was taken, she started pawing at the door. Silly pup!
Well, that’s all my updates for now. I hope you’re having nice weather wherever you are!
