Farmer's Market delivery

A beautiful morning but I know it will be a hot day. The temp at 5am was 70 and the forecast is for the low 90s. Just got a text from neighbor/friend Al..."are you up?"
For the answer yes.....he came by with this bounty. The string beans are so snappy fresh and the zucchini is just asking to be made into a salad and a frittata. Look at the tomatoes... nice and firm....yum for this weekend.
Went for lab work yesterday along with half the neighborhood, but I sat and read my book and was finally called and out in a few minutes. I should have made an appointment but at least it is done.
Today I am posting the first of My Stash Must Go
This book has never been used...I think I breezed through it twice.... and it has full patterns included. It is still new! Please email (email located on the right sidebar at the top of blog) me if you are interested and I will draw for it mid week. I am trying to spend time each day sorting the stash stuff. While going through this and that I found this project that I started last year around May 9th.....
there are a few projects that got put aside while My Denny was ill so now it is time to finish them. It is French Boutis Scissor Case from Averyclaire Needle Arts. There is not too much more (I think) of the stitching to do. Who knows what else I will find in my stash!
Well, the garden is calling me and I need another cup of coffee....so off I go. So nice to have you visit with me. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.

Those veggies look delicious! Good luck with your destashing - the book looks awesome, I hope it went to a loving new home so we'll actually be able to see a few of the bags sewn up eventually!
