Craft Night #1

My first monthly Craft Your Heart Out was wonderful!

We came together and created, snacked, conversed and laughed.

Greer worked on little fabric earrings.

Molly sewed a watermelon onto a tshirt.

Miriam made little poms out of yarn for her kitties to play with.

Masani assembled found objects and collaged.  She had found the monarch and feather on her way to my place.

Alisha drew her good friend dead.

And I made a wall collage to decorate my bedroom.

I finished the night with a daily chicken expressing how I felt! And Greer left me a wee mushroom. My heart is full!  

I will be having craft night once a month.  Join us next time!

Tomatoes!

I officially stopped purchasing tomatoes at the grocery store about two years ago after tasting local and in season tomatoes from the farmers market.  Once you have one you know there is no reason to buy a red bubble full of water in the winter.

I received this beauty in my CSA share this week.  I want to pull out all the colors I am seeing and make a collage of them.

Once I have done enough paintings I can cook him with some okra and peppers!

I have been making tons of bruschetta with all the tomatoes and basil in my CSA.  Last week I received purple basil.

This week I made some with a variety of different cherry tomatoes, including some sungolds!
