I'm Back ...Gardening and A New Blanket !

Hello !! I am kind of sad for vacation to be over , but glad to be back home at the same time :) We stayed in the tall building above in Panama City ,Florida, this time on the 4th floor... It was a wonderful trip .. we had pretty good weather with a thunder storm one day and sprinkles another day , but the rest of the trip was great HOT weather!

 

I finished the August cottage of the month while there from Country Cottage Needleworks.. Kind of fitting since its a beach scene :) It was nice to stitch or crochet in the morning before everyone got up on the balcony ..The alarm clock inside my head is set for 6am whether I am on vacation or not !

We got home Saturday to a garden full of goodness!  This is 6-1/2 pounds of tomatoes which I turned into sauce by roasting them ..Here is the roasted sauce instructions

Aren't those little yellow pear shape tomatoes the cutest :)

I had some help yesterday picking the blackberries .. As you can see by his face he ate his share too ! Loves them ! Gobbles them up like candy . I finally broke down and picked some of the zinnias .. I planted a lot of packs of seeds just so I could pick them , and I haven't wanted to wreck the beautiful show in the yard. Last night I picked a bouquet for my daughter and one for myself.. I just love them !

I needed a project for the car ride to Florida 16-17 hours ! So I started this Granny Ripple blanket...

 Not my typical colors , but its  for my second oldest son..It has been going pretty fast .. I made one of these a couple years ago and here is that post ,With a link to the pattern.. I did make it bigger than the pattern ( added 2 more multiples of 17) , and I am using an H hook..

..

 I got this big yarn basket at an Estate Sale a few weeks ago for $5.00 ! It is very big and perfect to hold my crochet projects ! And $5.00 !!!

 

Everything is growing like crazy !

Hope you have a great day ! Thanks for stopping by and your nice comments !
