Come September

 things would be better....lol with that theory....covid numbers continue to run amuck......

At least the heat extremes have settled  in to more fall like temperatures.    We've had decent rainfalls too.

Our daylight hours are slowly dwindling too.

I've always had a list of things I'd like to try:

One being English paper piercing.    I dove into fabric stash bit, cut far too many small hexagons (next time will definitely use a larger size) and per the tutorial put together in groups of 4, 44 groups of 4....sigh.     I opted to make a mat.  It's still to be finished and in the meantime made up the remaining hexi's for coasters.

Next up dry parsley other than air drying..   Online I found a very simple method for oven drying parsley in 20 minutes.   Very pleased with the results.

My old dehydrator never managed this good on parsley or anything else for that matter.   It happily went to the thrift store as I'm sure someone else would still find it useful.

After much thought, review and considerations of $$, I went for this basic Nesco dehydrator..   At the moment drying mushrooms, carrot and eggplant..   

Last on the list (for now) making pumpkins.  They were quick to crochet.  It was a great way to use up small amounts of yarn too.   Three was enough.

My progress on hand spinning has  of course been interrupted but that's ok.  

next time not so long till another post
