Happy quilting everyone.
Yesterday morning Hubbie and I went to my mum's to help get some garden beds ready for tomato planting, which we did as well. She has quite a few beds but just needs some help with the manual labour.
For our efforts mum gave us some fantastic fresh vegies from the garden.
Yummy fresh beetroot, carrots and peas. I cooked up the beet greens and we ate them in salad too.
Can't beat home grown.
A lovely little envelope arrived in the mail this week from Bev at Kainga Happenings.. She sent me a surprise milk jug doily. It is just gorgeous. I love the little tag too, so cute.
I have a bit of a thing for milk jug doilies and it has lovely blue glass beads, so perfect for me. It will be right at home here and has found a jug to sit on straight away. Thankyou so much Bev.
Hope you have had a crafty weekend!

Those vegies look delicious. I only grow strawberries and tomatoes because they go well in pots. The beetroot look superb, they are so good baked when small like that. Lucky you.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy the show - I was there yesterday - they sure are a creative lot of ladies - very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous gift and you are right - nothing beats home grown.
Hello Marina,
ReplyDeleteThose vegies look so yummy, you will have to show us some photos of your Mums's vegie garden later on. So glad the cover has found a little jug to live with. Enjoy the quilt show.
Happy days.

I am a little jealous of all that lovely fresh produce. I can imagine how delicious it all tastes. Sometimes the sewing just has to take second place.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great day in Kilmore.
You lucky girl all those lovely vegies fresh from the garden. I am a bit a a milk jug cover girl too. Lovely gift from Bev and looks great on your beauitful blue jug.
ReplyDeleteThose veggies look so colourful - and well done on the quilting - keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteMmmm, the veges look delicious. The milk jug doily looks beautiful and goes perfectly on your lovely jug.
