    Since September 16th, that's been the main focus in my life. This little berry we call Zelda takes most of my time. In an effort to simplify, you'll find this blog now as a weekly feature over at Patriotic & Romantic, www.patrioticandromantic.com, the blog I keep with my husband. I hope you'll join us over there.

    I whipped out each of the two little sweaters in a couple of hours, but this little dress is taking a lot longer. It's more advanced for me requiring four colors at once, constant reference to the instructions & lots of counting.

    P504

    After about 5 hours of crocheting:

    Zach didn't say anything when I walked out & he has to be seen with me, so I guess it works. The gladiator sandals will be added as I head out the door.

    Everything we had for dinner was caught or grown by us. That's a nice feeling.

    It's hard to find ripe good tasting tomatoes up here, but I took a chance today & was rewarded with this scrumptious tomato & cheddar pie.

    Wedding season is in full swing and Zach and I feel as busy as a bride and groom.  After making the pies, we had wedding duties the following weekend on July 3rd.  Zach was the officiant and I was the cake decorator.  We had a blast!

    Coloring the fondant & assembling the cake:
