End of summer...catching up

Yes, on this rainy, cold day, it does feel like summer's ending and it's back-to-school!! Back to the rush of getting here and there and schedules, routines, etc. I think I'm ready, but if you were to look at me, sitting here typing in my pj's (at 11:21 AM!!), you wouldn't believe me!!

So, what have we been up to??

Trips to the farm to pick up CSA share has yielded quite a nice bounty of veggies! And the flowers....take a look:



We also got zucchini's which were then turned into "leprachaun bread"-it was a hit with the girls!


It has been really great getting farm-fresh produce this summer-can't wait for the fall harvesting to start!

As for knitting, I updated my ravelry projects-finally....with all that has gone on with Madi and hospital time, I did get knitting time in, but not much computer time. That is all behind us now though, as she is doing much better. Now we start school, soccer, and whatever else comes our way. I've got 3 hat and sock baby boy sets to complete-using a nice free Jimmy Beans wool pattern to do these. Will post when I'm done!

Until then...happy knitting!

A Comfort quilt...



Yep-I did it. I used stash fabric (for most of it) and girly, fuzzy fabric to back it and she loves it!-that's all that really matters to me anyhow. I needed to provide some comfort to my little girl and of course, something pretty for her to look at as she recovers from upcoming surgery....
Now if only I had made something to comfort my nerves....
