produce buttons




As you heard our garden is growing its last goods of the season and yesterday my mom picked our first corn that we have awaited all summer. We constantly repeat "save me some of that corn for later" off of nacho libre. My mother wants to can peaches which i have no clue how to but i am sure that there is a D.I.Y. on canning peaches. We hand picked apples at a farm near our house it was fun. There were a lot of spiders and they all had gross, long, creepy, legs, but its ok that was their home.

I was on the web searching for cool d.i.y projects and came across a button coaster. i had never thought about sewing buttons together. i don't have the patience to sew a lot of them together so i made them into jewelry. I am really happy how it turned out. i think i will make some more :)

oh and about that cat on the stove yea...we love cats my mom bought them and put it there for her to find it lol i thought it was funny.

Saturday sewing






School is going to start soon and i wont have much time to make things anymore and it makes me sad, but winter is coming and that's all that matters. I made a scarf that i saw on Ruffles and Stuff (http://rufflesandstuff.blogspot.com/2009/08/super-easy-t-shirt-scarf.html) i thought it would be easy and sense i had a lot teal fabric and i don't have much clothing of that color.
i have been wanting to work with zippers and went ahead and made brooches. I think i will make some more sense the zippers are so cheap at thrift stores. This Saturday lunch was mostly made of veggies from our crowded garden. for the first time i tasted dandy lion leaves they weren't so great, but it was something new. my mother made zucchini patties that were delightful. mushu got into the spirit to...hahahaha
