HE was

Awesome! Yes I'm talking about Xavier Rudd. What a great show!! He sends such a positive Message. Thanks so much Xavier for finally coming to Eugene Oregon! We all love you and miss you already!

Blessings~
Keep rocking on!

Xavier is coming to town. Tonight! Sept.2nd

Xavier who?? Xavier Rudd, you haven't heard of him!!?!??! Brandon and I discovered him about 4 years ago. Word to Mouth.


He's an Australian musian/surfer. A one-man-band/multi-instrumentalist who plays guitars, Yidaki (didgeridoos), Weissenborn slide guitars, stomp box, harmonica, and percussion. He performs his songs’ guitar, didgeridoo and various percussion parts simultaneously—using a unique set-up that finds him literally surrounded by his various instruments and singing from behind a stand holding three didgeridoos (of different keys). He's just amazing! He was influenced by Neil Young and Paul Simon at a Young age. He's got many heartfelt songs and positive messages to share. Go to his site and get to know Xavier Rudd you'll be glad you did!

Sunflowers and Squirrels

Aww my only sunflower. They only one that survived the slugs and the decapitation from the Squirrels.

I spoke too soon. I went out to the garden and I stopped by the sunflower and its gone. The Nasty little Squirrels had taken it away. I was mad, bad little squirrels!

  What to make?

  Roasted Tomatoes, I gather the Roma tomatoes cut off the tops and place in a pan(top side down) to roast in the oven. After they start to Blacken turn off oven and let cool. Then you can take the skins right off. I put in freezer bags for winter stews, and soups.

  Another thing that I love to do in to make Salsa. This is the recipe that I used:

  Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped onion
  • 2 small cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 large ripe tomatoes, peeled and seeds removed, chopped
  • 2 green Chile peppers, finely chopped
• 2 to 3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped fine
• 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons lime juice or lemon
• salt and pepper
• Preparation:
• Combine onions and garlic with chopped tomatoes, peppers, cilantro, lime juice,salt, and pepper. Refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours to blend flavors.
• Makes about 2 cups of salsa.
• 
  
• I also take the cherry, and pear tomatoes and half drizzle on Olive Oil , add Mozzarella balls, Squeeze lemon juice, sprinkle with Basil and salt and pepper. Serve on a bed of lettuce or just eat. What do you do with your tomatoes?

New Hats are on there way

I love taking old sweaters and turning them into something new. Hum lets see... a hat. I've been working on some new hats for winter. First I take the sweater and Felt it in the washer and dryer. Then check it out and see where the hat wants to come from. Then I take the hat and start needle felting onto it. Then I line it with fleece. Ta-da... there finished!

Here are three that you get to see first before I post on Etsy.

This Blue hat w/ the Unicorn on it isn't felted. Its Acrylic and Wool blend. The other two hats are.

So what do you think?
