Busy times,

Well I have been busy as usual crocheting myself away...trying to finish up this order. . This doily is the last of the two bigger ones...I only have one more Tea Bag holder left to make I got all the neck pieces done...just need to make the buttons and I will be done...Phew....

I just love it though, I enjoy crocheting so much. I love being able to share it..You know you can only have so many of your own and I seem to have a ton...and there are so many I want to try to make...

I got some peas from my Garden...so sweet...first time I have done peas in a long time...lol but problem is I had planted two types and I thought I would remember and I forgot...lol...

And I picked my first Zucchini yesterday to put into my soup. It's funny how they taste so fresh...I made this Mexican soup called Abondigas, there are many different versions of it..my first husband was Mexican American, and he told me how his mom made it. but we used steak meat...than later I learn they made meat balls with rice inside...I made this one with some pieces of turkey meat...just cause I was lazy...

I have been trying to use Turkey instead of hamburger meat...it's better for us rite...and I left the rice out...less calories...I did make the hard boil eggs...I have to say myself I really liked it, either I was hungry or it really tasted good...lol...I spent the 4th at home quietly crocheting..I made a vanilla cake the day before I left Moms it was pretty good...pretty plain but I had made fruit so I thought the cake should be plain...

Here's the recipe if you want to try it out...Scratch Cake
