Four kinds of crazy

Yesterday I stopped by my favorite gourmet market, The Milk Pail Market, and squealed in glee when I discovered they had sour cherries!  I promptly made off with six pounds (to go into cherry pie):

Then I went to the San Francisco Ferry Plaza Farmer’s Market this morning, and these two flats of strawberries just had to come home with me (to be made into my favorite jam ever, sun-cooked strawberry jam):

two flats of strawberries!
two flats of strawberries!

And the Fireside Rolling Temple is just begging to be put onto the loom:

And, of course, there is this innocuous-looking pile of muslins waiting to be sewn up before I go visit Sharon tomorrow afternoon:

So far I have sewn up one muslin, the jacket muslin; that leaves the coat, the kimono jacket, the palazzo pants, and one new pattern to go.

Four projects, one Tien, two days: just how much can Our Heroine get done???

Let’s find out…

Off to work!  🙂

    I’d like to get in line for some of that energy right behind you, Laura! I am constantly impressed and amazed by how much Tien accomplishes every day. And how well she does it.
