Made in the USA!

I am excited to say that I have secured more fabric for my ripstop nylon food baggies! As usual, these are UNCOATED 100% nylon and now I have verification that all of this fabric is

MADE IN THE USA!

I am so excited and proud to say this.

This plus my many items made from reclaimed cottons make me feel really, really good about the items I make and sell. Now to just source some more organic cottons....

In celebration of the beautiful turquoise, blue, green, red and purples that I bought today I will make it possible for you to pre-order your back to school snack/sandwich baggies on my Etsy. In an effort to not overwhelm myself I did not order fabric in bolts, so get them while you can!

Pickles!

For the first time in my adult life I made pickles! I planted about 20 cucumber plants with the intent to can all the pickles that we will consume for the next year. Since we are preparing to move soon I instead learned how to make refrigerator pickles. We just do not have the time right now to dive into something that big. I also have volunteer dill in a flower bed that also needs to be used. It has been so much fun to see how far the wind and animals take seeds from the garden! I read every dill recipe I could find but then decided to created my own. Risky, I know. Well.... after a PAINFUL 24 hr wait to test them....

They are delish! The kids and I have a hard time keeping away from them. Right now I am just adding to it when it starts getting low again.

Yay Garden!
