I made these as part of a gift for one of Chris' coworkers. She is just as big a fan of pink as I am. She's sure to love these!

Hello World!
I have been under the weather for almost all of June. I am finally over my stomach bug and am ready to get back to reporting my girlie adventures.
Things I've been up to since last updating:
The best part of making these is that it's so easy! The salsa was a little time consuming because of the dicing, but the pickles are a breeze to put together. I made two prior jars of pickles and kept them whole. Not for nothing, but I think these vegetables look beautiful. I love the vibrant colors. This is what food is supposed to be like.
Cable knitting has been something that I have really wanted to learn because to me it is one of the prettiest types of knitting. I made a simple cable scarf (pattern from Lion Brand Yarn). It was so easy! I am so excited. I can't wait to try something more complex. At some point I hope to create a cable knit sweater or sweater dress. The sides of the picture are rolling slightly. After I finished the scarf I blocked it with my Rowenta Steamer and now it rolls no longer.
I have been talking about kombucha, I know. And I know that I very much need to post some pictures. I am hoping to grow a really good mother and then I'll post pictures.
Onto the address book- I received a beautiful pink leather address book from my father and mother-in-law. It is awesome! It has a calendar, which my mother-in-law filled out with birthdays and such, and it came with replacement stickers for when individual's information changes so you don't have to replace the whole page. It's great, now I don't feel bad about using a pen to write down information.
Things I've been up to since last updating:
- Lactofermenting vegetables
- Cable knitting
- Finishing my first knitted garment (well, just about finished it)
- Brewing kombucha
- Filling out an address book
