Color

I finished the looper bath mats and I'm thrilled by them.  I posted a picture on Facebook and one sold to a friend from book group.  I have enough loopers for four more and then I have to decide what I'm going to do next.  The loopers are pricey.   I'm trying to decide if I can sell enough of these to justify ordering more loopers.  The postage is killers.  Groan.  I think what I sell pays for my materials.  I suppose there are worse hobbies.
I picked up our CSA box after my dental appointment today.  This is our first basket this year and it's our first year to participate as a single family.  In the past I've picked up weekly boxes which we split with our neighbor.  This year we're on our own so bought the bi-weekly subscription.  I have learned from past experience that we will be challenged to eat all of this in two weeks.  By the middle of summer, we'll be getting twice this many veggies. You don't realize it,  but produce is dense food.  Tonight we polished off the Swiss chard, accompanied by a ham steak.  Uber yum.  The carrots were planted in hoops houses last fall and the yellow ball is spaghetti squash.

What cheerful rugs! And yeah, there are worse hobbies. We MAKE stuff! Out of almost nothing! Don't you wonder why leftovers from making socks that would normally get thrown away are so expensive?

Great looper rugs! I was just thinking about making a few last night! They weave up very quickly. Your CSA box had a wonderful variety of veggies...the asparagus looks yummy!

Lovely colors in the bath mats. Congratulations on the quick sale of one!

I see another color palette in the produce.

We would have no trouble eating all that produce in a week. I usually stop for produce twice a week. At least I'm not stopping for bread and candy twice a week....

Lovely bath mats! They will add lots of color to the bathroom, although, I'd be tempted to use one in front of my kitchen sink. They'd and soft to stand on while working there.

What is the yellow round thing? It looks like a melon, but I'm not sure, and it's a little early for melons...
