I Won a Giveaway!

I recently won these sweet earrings from Holly at My Sister's Suitcase. The giveaway was in celebration of reaching 100 followers. She and her sister, Nat, have a fun blog to visit! Thank you for the earrings, Holly!

My First Baker's Twine!

I just ordered and received my first Baker's Twine from The Twinery. I kept seeing it on blogs and Pinterest. Of course, I  couldn't find any here locally. And, believe me, I tried. The colors are absolutely beautiful. For my first project, I plan to crochet little flowers with white cotton thread and string them along the Baker's Twine for a spring garland. It may be awhile though. I have told myself, I can't start a new project until I finish my current project, the shawl. I am VERY close! I don't get to crochet every day with a full-time job, and a house and garden to care for. I may also squeeze in some burlap banner-making with Valentine themes. They don't count since they are not a crochet project! That makes perfect sense to me.

Garden Goodies!

Radishes and spinach are doing well in my garden! I have beets, carrots, lettuce, Romanesco and cauliflower growing as well. I would have more cauliflower along with broccoli except that a couple of the ONLY freezes we have had came at just the right time to kill them.

My garden sink is especially handy for washing the sand out of the wrinkles in the spinach leaves. I love to eat spinach salad with dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, shredded Parmesan cheese, mandarin oranges and raspberry vinaigrette dressing.

I've been robbing/thinning the carrots here and there. They are so sweet to rinse and eat!
