just a little bit of...





the days have gone by in a blur. i've been keeping busy with painting, knitting, garden time, and riding the doombus. (doombus is what i call doomstash busting)

i've been figuring out how to save seeds from the lone sunflower that bloomed this year. and thanks to Heather at northridgefarm (site is down so can't link) i've been harvesting my first ever grown celery and dehydrating it for use in soups and stews over the winter.  it never would have occurred to me to do that.

anywho...i finished my shawl!  i still need to give it a soak and block then weave in the ends.  but it feels SOOOOO good to have finished a knit that i've had on the needles for two(+?) years? i'm sure i'll share a photo once it is blocked.

that's pretty much what is going on around here. i'm uncovering all kinds of things during my doombus rides and it is giving me all kinds of ideas.

well...i hope to be back again in a day or so.  

thanks for being here...

love & magicks

Looks like you're getting a lot of use out of your dehydrator! And congrats on finishing the shawl!

Love those zinnias! I'm growing them in the gardens for the first time in decades, and am smitten. As for sunflowers, the birds plant mine, and they are glorious - the birds *and* the flowers.

And yay! for dehydrating your homegrown celery. I dry so much food (as well as ferment, and can) and delight in seeing others leverage the technique.

Finally, how nice to have a shawl, lovingly made, to take you into the winter month. Seems that's something else we have in common - fiber arts!

Thanks for sharing, and love & magicks back atcha!
