Every Tuesday I write about do-it-yourself projects that I’m currently involved in. Some of my interests include:
- knitting,
- sewing (maybe, someday),
- photography,
- home repair, and
- gardening.

Veggie Garden My vegetable garden has been a two-year project. Last year with all the weeding a mulching, I think I didn’t experience the joy of gardening, just the hard sweat and unending toil of gardening. Plus, I only grew three types of plants. And summer squash gets old after about 3 days. This year I am striving for much more diversity. See what I’m up to here. |

Baby Onsie A current long-term work in progress. This baby onesie is made from bamboo/wool yarn. Watch my progress here. |

Oven Mitt My wonderful mother-in-law wrapped up my birthday present in some really fun red fabric with dogs on it. My present was a set of kitchen towels, also with dogs on them, o I thought it would be a great idea to use the fabric to make an oven mitt. |

Baby Booties With lots of leftover yarn, I decided to take on a small project and knit up some baby booties. These are so quick and easy. I think I will make lots of them for future bambinos! |
