These days I don't have alot of time to sit and type on my blog. Our days are filled with toddler drama, and picking up after everyone in the house. My chore list is long, and it never gets completed. I think I just choose all the fun stuff off of it, and I leave all the dreaded stuff until I ultimately have to complete it. Don't we all?
Last night the baby slept all night, and I couldn't be happier today. She's six months old now, and I hope this is a permanent thing. I woke up feeling amazing, jumped to my feet, got my shower, kids fed, errands ran, and then came back to the house. Yesterday I picked a ton of wild grapes that have overtaken our maple tree in the backyard. I'm making wild grape jelly today. So far, I have cooked them down and extracted all the juice. It's a beautiful shade of purple. Hopefully, I can get the jelly made and jarred tonight. Meanwhile, I whipped up my favorite Greek marinade for some chicken, and will be heating up the grill, as soon as hubby tells me he's close to home. Oh! I forgot. I also stewed and froze probably the last of the tomatoes from our garden. They're on their last leg and looking kinda puny.
After tonight's jelly making, I'm hoping to draft out another pattern for an apron. My mother bought me a beautiful vintage tea apron for my birthday, and I have plans to make more. I actually have been making quite a few aprons to sell at The Community Market in town. I'll be up there on the 28th, so come out and see me.
So look for pictures of the jelly and the aprons soon.
God Bless!
