My Unconventional Creative Side

Okay – usually when I post about my creative side, I tend towards to the artsy-crafty creative side. Not so today! I am so proud of this little baby that I want to let the whole world know!
Tomato Sauce meet the world – world meet my Tomato Sauce! You see, the reason this tomato sauce is so special and worthy of so much attention is that, with the exception of the lemon juice, I grew everything in the jar. I made the sauce out of tomatoes from my garden, added the herbs from my herb garden, and canned it myself! I only got one can – but that’s beside the point. This baby is going to my mother as an Empty Nester Gift. I hope she likes it. I did get a little extra on the side that I mixed with some noodles for lunch – so fresh and yummy!

I am working on ending up on the same week as the Simple Sampler Quilt Along, but I tend to make the blocks on the weekend. So here are the blocks I made for last week’s blocks. I really love these blocks and I can’t wait to see everything all together in the end. It’s going to look so scrappy! I am making sure to use some of my favorite fabrics that I only have little bits left of. This is the first quilt I am making for myself, so it’s going to be quite the treasure!
If you haven’t already, join in! You aren’t that far behind yet.
I am also still working with my crochet needle. I have figured out a Christmas gift for a friend and I hope she likes it when it is done.
While it’s not technically crafty, I can’t wait for this weekend! I am going to take Baby J raspberry picking here. We are making infused vinegars and sundae sauce for Christmas gifts. I will share more with you about that later.
P.S. Hope everyone had a great fourth of July weekend! I will be posting pictures of everything we did next Tuesday.
