It's the weekend!!

Only a half day of work today!

Last week I picked all the green tomatoes and layed them in boxes with newspaper to cover.  They are in the basement to (hopefully) ripen.  I have never done this before and am not sure it will work.  After picking them I then read that the "best" way for them to ripen naturally is to leave them on the vine and dig up the vine.  Hang the plant upside down and let vine-ripen that way.  So next year I may try that method.  But for now this is the experiment.

 Finished one sock this week.  It only took one month to make!!  geez!!!  haha...so will start the matching (hopefully it will match) one this weekend.

Started stitching on the fabric.  Still not sure what it will end up turning into.  That is the fun part...not knowing and just letting it go...

OMMM  Namah Shivaya...

new week...

This was the view from northern Iowa.  We went camping for 3 days up here.  The trip was cut short due to chilling temperatures at night.  The first night at Backbone state park was a cold one at 29 degrees!!  We went further north to Decorah and a heavy frost in the morning. 

Seed Saver's is in Decorah and so that was the destination.  What an inspiring garden to be able to tour...and of course we had to get some of those seeds.  Also a few garlics to plant.  Of which I planted half of yesterday.  Today I have a huge Hibiscus root from a friend to plant.  yay! 

There was some poke plants growing along the fence in the yard that has been tempting me with their bright purple berries.  So, I picked a bunch and pressed them into this fabric.  I think I may embroider around each dot...and see where that leads.  haha

Here's a little painting I have going on...it is slowly progressing...
And also the socks I'm working on for a Christmas gift for Mom...

I heard that my little guy's soccer team won their game on Saturday.  He sounded excited about it! 
Peace out...
