Sunday Funday: Gardening and Stitching

Ahhh… Sunday morning.

The one morning that I’m really good at getting up, enjoying my coffee and reading the Sunday paper from start to finish. I skim (SPORTS!) or read (TRAVEL!) all sections before even thinking about starting my day!

Today we are headed out to run some errands, start prepping for turning our house in wedding shower central next weekend and spending lots of time in the garden!

I’m going to use my Sunday posts to give you a general update, pictures from the week, and so here we go…

Progress on the flip flops! I put it away for the week, but I was really pleased with how far I got last week! Here is a close-up of the new section:

And, here’s the second project that I am working in! It’s the 4th ornament in my Nutcracker series! I was hoping to get 2 more done by September to send for finishing!

I’ve been letting the Zinnia go crazy in hopes I can use the, next weekend to have fresh flowers around at the wedding shower we are hosting!

And, here are the veggies! So impressed with how well things have been growing this year!

A few notes: those peppers in the 3rd picture are HOT. Any ideas about what to do with them?

The tomato planters were a gift from Bella for my birthday and they have exploded with flowers! It was this neat roll of seeds that you put under a thin layer of dirt and keep wet! So easy and will give us tons of tomatoes!

Ok, that’s all for me today!  Off to do Sunday things!

Hope you have a great day!

XO, Mer

    I put fresh hot peppers in salsa and let them dry on a sunny windowsill to crumble into chili in the winter.  If you don’t like HOT, then scrape the seeds and the fibrous stuff inside the pepper out.  That helps remove some heat.

    Thanks, Jane!! I like hot- born in Louisiana after all- but those Tabasco peppers are HOT. I found a recipe in Real Simple to make your own pepper sauce… Might try that as well!
