I’ve got a finalized design made up for the new version of the “I (heart) to Knit Purse”:http://karissacove.com/journal/2006/04/18/past-experience/, now all I have to do is transfer it to a full purse. It was hard getting all the letters just right, but I like the way it turned out:
I was out taking photos for Etsy when Poppy started rolling around in the grass in front of me:
She’s such a ham!
I had a great birthday weekend from start to finish. I was determined to squeeze in as much relaxation as I could, and one of the things I did was plant the herbs my mom bought me for my birthday. Take a look at this sweet garden:
In order, back row first, from left to right: Lavender, sage, basil, thyme, coriander, oregano, lemon mint, parsley, ginger mint, pineapple mint, spearmint, and chocolate mint.
I’m really excited about the chocolate mint, it smells exactly like a Mint Aero Bar and I can’t wait to see how it tastes as a tea. Yum!
If you’re in the Toronto area tomorrow, make sure to head down to the Beaches and attend “Crafternoon Tea”:http://www.12thirteen.com/NRFsite-0905/newsframe.html, a craft sale organized by my pal Nathalie-Roze Fischer. There’s going to be a tonne of great craftsters there, and a bunch of interesting workshops:
(I won’t be attending, it’s my birthday this weekend and I’m booked solid!)
