Week 9 Gifts

Collect Seeds!

I have little envelopes full of marigold seeds, lupine seeds, and wild sweet pea seeds. We also have some type of wild sunflower that grows like a weed on the side of the road here. If it will grow there, I figure I can keep it alive, so I am off to collect those seeds too.

You can store seeds with a little bit of rice to absorb moisture.

Quick, before the rain starts.

Ten

Ten, as in ten weeks to December.........Enough said.

Homemade jam, sauce, jelly, salsa. Yum! It's homemade, it's edible, it's a treat, it's special, you can personalize it with your own special ingredients. You can do this in a few hours one night.

Don't have jars? Ask an older neighbor, or hunt through a thrift store.

We just made Chipotle Peach Barbecue Sauce, and Salsa.

The P Word, Again

P for Pleasure, that is! I am so happy! Smiles all around.

At 10:21 on August 31st I finished this blessed top. Mitered corners and applique included.

I'm currently researching ways to get it quilted. Send it out, or take a class and rent a long arm machine. Hmmmm.

Thank you to the Charm Girls Quilt Club for the deadline and push in the tush to get going on this project.
