I've joined the newly formed Carlstadt Green Team, a town committee geared toward caring for and wisely using the new park that was created down the street from my house! The team runs a monthly Fresh Air Market there, and so I'm gearing up for my first one on June 10. It's on 3rd & Broad Streets in Carlstadt, NJ, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., so if you're in the area, come visit!
In preparation, I've made brand new batches of Lavender Soap & Oatmeal Honey Soap, and this coming week I'll be making our Mock Turtle Shampoo. I've also been stocking up on cotton bamboo washcloths for the market & shop.
So... I've added some new photos and washcloths to Fabric of my Mind.
This tortoise was munching away on a leaf; I suppose I caught him during his lunch break.
This aster was in my own yard a couple years ago, and I love this photo. I may need to have one printed for myself to hang.
Much like the gardenia yellow basket weave washcloth I knitted previously, this one's in an awesome sprout green cotton bamboo.
And then, still on my green kick, I did this pebbled washcloth that's got a seed stitch for a nice, scrubby texture.
This eyelet washcloth would be great as a face cloth, since it's so soft. I went back to the gardenia yellow for this one.
Meanwhile, I've added our Oatmeal Honey soap to the Reef Botanicals HAFshop, as well as the Autumn Harvest Square Pillar.
And in the yard this year, in addition to veggies, Eric is growing hops for his beer brewing. So I decided to expand too, by trying some flowers. They seem to be turning into a tropical rain forest, the leaves are so thick! They started like this...
(And that lone twig in the mulch between the two patches of flowers is a blueberry bush.)
And as of a couple days ago, the first flowers appeared! They're itty bitty, teeny weeny white flowers.
Can't see 'em? Look.
And this weekend, we'll be in Vermont, but I'll tell you all about that when we get back!

Best of luck at the market! And you lucky duck getting to go to Vermont! I adore Vermont and would move there in a heartbeat. Yes, I know it's cold and snowy, but I grew up in that so it would be like home.
good luck at the market. I'm still toying with the idea of doing craft shows and markets this year. it just gets too dang HOT here in NC to sit outside. LOL

Larissa you have out done yourself. A painter, a knitter, a natural soap maker, a kids toy maker, a picture taker, a veggie grower, AND a florist (LOL could think of something that ended in er)
And I adore each and every one of you! ;o)
You do so many crafts, it's absolutely amazing! P.S. That little turtle is quite adorable.
