Nappies and Greens

This weekend went by wayyy to fast...but both Tweedy and I were pretty productive. I made the "Nappy Bag," an Amy Butler pattern, and it will be our diaper bag for Baby Girl...in case anyone doesn't know what a nappy is. lol. I was a teeny bit annoyed but overall happy with this pattern and am super happy with the outcome! The material is Amy Butler too and is so pretty!! She has some amazing fabrics to choose from. The only complaint I have about the pattern is that part of the strap I had to cut out was missing and I had to make my own. I was so confused that it was left out and when I was packing up I finally found it...of course after I'm finished. It was on a separate directions page with the second project that came with the pattern....a changing pad. But it didn't tell you it was on a different page completely!



All of the fun "bottle pockets" and other pockets on the inside are my favorite part... but I had to stuff it full of random bathroom stuff since we don't have any baby stuff yet though. HA!




One other pattern complaint is that I had to buy A LOT of fabric and had a ton left over! But the extra went to good use...My friend Marianne showed me how to make a roll up knitting bag for all of my equipment. Pics to come.

On to Tweedy's weekend of productfulness...the greenhouse has greens in it! Lots and lots of them....lettuce, kale, collards, swiss chard, broccoli etc etc.. I love love going in there now. The air feels so clean and crisp. It's getting cooler here now but the sun coming through the greenhouse warming everything is amazing.





One of our tasks yesterday was digging up worms from our backyard and transplanting them into the greenhouse to put air into the soil and make it rich....all I found were some baby snakes, which Tweedy said were harmless garden snakes but I was convinced they were rattlers and was ready to chop their heads off when he wasn't looking. They were brown and black!! I'm about to go do some research on snakes in wikipedia.
