These Days
The Summer garden harvest is in full swing here. Tomatoes, chillies, zucchini, capsicum, basil and watermelons (of which Phil is particularly proud!)to name a few. Our kitchen is also a hive of activity, preserving the season's bounty ready for the leaner months ahead. We have been making harvest tomato sauce and tomato and thyme tart from this book.
I have had a little time to finish some sewing too. A skirt and top set as birthday gifts for two of Ava's little friends. I am quite happy with the way they turned out. The appliqué (of an elephant in case you are wondering!) on the T shirts was an experiment that turned out better than I expected.
And a little light reading from our recent trip to the library
Have a great day.
