Well, it's been an extremely busy and jam-packed summer. I kind of fell off the blogging wagon, but I don't really care - it was nice to just enjoy the time doing other things.
However, I have been up to more craftiness lately and wanted to share! These are some of my latest projects:
No - Close Pillowcase
Last week, Chris and I decided it was finally time to buy some decent curtains for our living room. We picked out a fun-looking design, got home, and hung them up. Lo, and behold - we had an extra tie-back! I wanted to use it in a fun way, so I found an old pillow and created a new pillowcase for it out to the tieback and two new cloth napkins. The secret is that instead of sewing the pillow into the case, I decided to make it fold into the case just like a pillow sham for the bed:

Homemade Peach Jam
Last week at the CSA pick-up, I was easily talked into buying a basket of fresh peaches. (It was not hard for them to convince me!) There was great debate in our house over what yummy method we should use to preserve them. Jam was the final option, and we really got a great system going. Now, we have 18 delicious jars of homemade peach jam! It was so good, I just started eating it with a spoon.
