I spent some of this weekend resting to try and force my body to get over this lingering sickness. And, for the most part, it worked! We've got a busy week ahead of us with a graduation, a wedding and a few parties with A's family, but I've got some nice posts already lined up and a guest Friday Five! Here's the weekend:
 |
| Cotton candy+disco nails |
 |
| Jalapeno plant from our balcony |
 |
| Apprehensive June |
 |
| Skirt making prep |
 |
| Zucchini/Squash draining |
The jalapenos have been thriving on our balcony, and Andy picked a few Saturday and made these pepper bites that I'll tell you about later this week. They were super simple to make, but don't worry, I've already typed up a full page of recipe directions just to make it seem complicated. You're welcome in advance.
I made a simple circle skirt, shorter than the one you can see in that book. It came together surprisingly quickly, I just need to finish it off with some kind of waist detail. The book is The Sewing Bible and it's such a great guide for sewers who are learning on their own. For some reason the trend amongst "bloggers" seems to be to use vintage sewing guides. This really only makes sense if you have an older machine, but if your machine was made after 1980, get an updated book! They're a bit more expensive but you'll use it all the time. Also, the clothing in those old books is kind of scary. No, I don't want to learn to make my own jumpsuit, but I will make a circle skirt. Please and thank you.
Have no fear, I'll show you what that bit pile of zucchini and squash was used for. Mostly because I imagine that those of you who get CSA boxes are overrun with the stuff, but also because I assume the curiosity is killing you.
