Making Monday: At the Fair

We went off to the Fair on opening day to see all of our submissions on display! We were not disappointed, and even won a fourth place ribbon. Hurray for the Fair!

Calm

Two of the few things that bring me calm in the world, art and nature.  Today is the last day to prepare for student arrival on Monday.  I am going to need all of the calm I can get.

Pickling!

I am trying my hand at pickling, I decided that the only way I was really going to do it was taking the simplest way. So I used a super simple brine pickling recipe I got from a craft museum in San Fransisco, and I have my fingers crossed.

Making Monday: ...

Well here we are, today marks the end of summer vacation for us, and after just getting home, it feels like reality has caught up with us a little. Because of all that I have no photos to show you all of the beautiful making up our lives right now, and so a list is in order:

-We baked vegan chocolate chip cookies and brought four of them to the State Fair, to compete as "Balled, Not Flattened Before Baking" cookies
-We used some leftover yarn to make a small weaving to hang on the wall
-We worked on the website for the summer camp we both are counselors at and sit on the board for.
-We also had a meeting for the above mentioned camp and made quite a few large decisions for next summer
-Our kickstarter project was not funded
-We got asked the be photographers for the wedding of two friends
-One of our mothers successfully sold their house
-We made watermelon lemonade
-We found rain gardens and befriended a security guard

Traveling

We have been doing a lot of traveling, and if all goes according to plan we will be getting home and unpacking today. (Top Picture: Sculpture in the Atlanta airport Bottom Picture: Bus terminal in Santiago)

Chile Fruit

Climbing a cherimoya tree in Chile.  Cherimoya is one of the sweetest fruits I have ever tasted.  We don't believe it exists anywhere in the northern hemisphere.

Spring Green

Snippets of Spring Green Wisconsin.

Drive by

Drive by photos from the Wisconsin road trip.

Making Monday: Road Trip Hat

We went on a road trip to Wisconsin and I worked on a hat, I tried to take photos along the way to document it's travel through the hills, all the while growing, but these two photos are all I ended up with. It is done now though, and looks very nice. 

Drive In Movies

 

We went to Vali-Hi, hurray for the drive in movies!

 

We saw Spiderman, and Men in Black III, both of which were classic summer movie choices and fun in their own rights.

Rocket(s)

I recently embroidered a rocket ship to the back of a a plain coral colored t-shirt. 

It turned out quite well.
