We went strawberry picking this weekend at the only advertised certified organic U-pick strawberries in our province. Marg's Strawberries was a little weedy, but we would prefer to contend with weeds and prickles than malathion, pesticides, herbicides, and genetically modified strawbe
rries. Apparently strawberries are one of the most chemically treated fruit/veggie.Selah's wearing her this-years-annual passover dress. I'd like to say that I make more of her clothes, but if I can at least give myself an annual deadline for at least one dress a year...I figure that that is realistic goal. It would be nice to work towards a goal for myself as well. I've got this basket of clothes and remnants waiting to be renovated.
My loving husband busily did some house projects while I was away last week, and one of them was my art area in the basement. He made me a table using a large door for the surface - i was ecstatic at the amount of surface!!!!!!!!!!!! and the hole where the doorknob would be is perfect for the sewing machine cords! When the space is a little more organized, perhaps I'll take some pictures.
I love her dress. Great shots.
ReplyDeletethanks - it's hard for me not to be inspired by a little girl who loves dressing up in dresses, and enjoys running about in a field.
ReplyDeleteAlso a follow up on the strawberry picking. The next week (this past one), we found another place, that was not certified organic, but it was chemical-free (neighboring farmers spray, thus they can not be certified organic). The price was almost half of what we paid at the COplace, and there were no weeds and prickles - thus being a somewhat better experience, exept for some grumpy pickers - who wanted to make sure they were first! sigh - a good reminder to smile!
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see the new craft space....so exciting!
