I was challenged by my good friend Ann the other day to create some boy clothes for my Etsy shop. I made two different designs – well three technically, but one’s not made up yet – and made Taco model the jersey shirt this morning. This pic won’t make it into the Etsy shop, but […]
This was my first big harvest from the Patch a week or so ago. I got perhaps six cups of peas out of that batch… by the end I was sitting there with blistering thumbs thinking “Now why did I plant shelling peas, again? Who thought shelling them all would be romantic?” They did have […]
The other day, coming home from the Patch, I decided to add the tips of all my twenty-some basil plants to my harvest bag. Compared to the load of onions (bitty ones all, disappointingly) I got, I didn’t think it was all that much. But I guess it turned out to be about 14 cups, […]

Whoever snagged the rights to the URL does own a real-life store by that name, so I don’t begrudge them the rights to the URL. It’s […]
I’m well on the way to being ready to rock and roll this Etsy store. I got my banner (the headline to my store basically) created a while ago: And I just finished designing my labels and sent them off to the printer: I love the fun, bouncy retro-ness of the designs I’m coming up […]
I think she’s winning. (Yes, I know I mispelled “octopus”. That’s what I get for typing with one hand.)
