Handmade homegrown weekend.

I have big plans for this weekend. It may be crappy outside, but its warm and cozy inside. Perfect for what I have in mind.

I plan to spend some time at the Daylesford Craft Experience this afternoon, chatting about crochet and maybe hooking up a square or four.

I plan to rush out between rain showers to collect greens from the garden to cook up into frittatas and soup and salads and maybe some green garden bread.

I still have half a crate of lemons to bake and preserve.

Indi has found a lemon cardamon cupcake recipe she is desperate to try.

I'd love to get a chance to tidy up and declutter a bit. The inside world seems so much more exciting and inspiring when it is clean and fresh don't you think?

If the sun comes out at all it would be great to get some summer seeds planted and if not I'm sure there's masses of garden inspiration between the pages of our new Elliot Coleman book.

See that little pink ball of wool on the right? That's all the wool I have to finish my test knit. So I'll be knitting and stressing and hoping that it will go the distance.

 We'll be baking for sure. This sour dough was just a bit too sour for my liking.

Hopefully I'll finish the sewing I started the other day.

And I'll be hanging with my crew. Doing the farm chores. Watching a DVD or two. Keeping the fires HOT. And trying to prepare for a few exciting projects we have going on next week.

So how about you?
Are your skies blue?
Will you be cooking and knitting and gardening too?

Or are your skies grey?
And inside you'll play?
Until the wind blows those pesky grey rain clouds away.

(To be read in your best poetry voice of course.)

Bye!
