Before we get to talkin' about me, we will discuss the change of the seasons.
This is the end of the Summer Quilt for 2017. (Washing quilts: do it in the washing machine, on gentle "wash" cycle but full "spin" cycle. Use a gentle detergent.)
Say "Hello" to the fall/winter quilt. This was made with the fabrics I collected in Asia in 2009. Wool batting, which is my absolute favorite. Wash as noted above, but use cold water.
Now... Why can't I be like normal people? This is a patio planter. A big pot, about two feet across. Those are sweet potatoes growing in there. I have TWO of these pots. Oh, sorry, yes. That's my cutie patootie too. 💗
DH loads up the pot(s) on some man-equipment thing and hustles them over to the garden, where he dumps the contents. Yahoo!! Produce!!
See, a 'NORMAL' person would buy their sweet potatoes at the grocery store. Or get all crazy-like and go to the farmer's market. But me? I have to do this all myself. idiot. FYI, sweet potatoes are not sweet until they are CURED for four days at 85 - 90 degrees, and then they need to "rest" for a couple more weeks. So they've been living in my oven with the lights on, staying all nice and cozy.
And again, a 'NORMAL' person would buy their pumpkin at the grocery store. In a can.
Uh huh. I noticed when I posted this pic that there are TWO bottles of wine on my counter. Was I expecting to be thirsty? Or was I planning ahead? 😀
And here's the cleanup crew. I pointed out to her that she missed the pumpkin that sprayed all over the front of the dishwasher and gooped up the handle.
I've been workin' too. Great quilt - jelly roll friendly.
I am leaving tomorrow on the annual retreat in Tobermory with the Beach Girls. I cannot wait. Hopefully, while I'm away the Universe will take pity on me and bring in a deep frost that will kill everything left out in the garden. But I suspect I'll come home next weekend to more produce that I will feel compelled to do something with. banging head against the wall
