I’ve been a little obsessed with crochet after teaching myself how to do it last year 🤪
Today I completed an Amigurumi Buddha 🥰🧘🏽‍♀️🪷🧶❤️

This one stopped eating on the weekend. The vet said she had a dangerously low white blood cell count and I was genuinely panicking because I thought it was the end 😭 but after some meds she’s finally eaten and seems to be perking up.
Had me worried for a sec, she’s my world 🐾❤️ #AnimalsOverPeople

Can you feel the chill in the air? I thought I’d put together a prototype hottie cover using my mountains of scrap yarn 🙌🏽
This one’s for my mum 🥰🧶❤️

The bowl at the back is all of my remaining tomatoes bar 3 shaded plants which weren’t decimated by the heat..
The bowl in front is what my neighbour just delivered from the plants I gave her that went straight into the ground, unsupported.. I’m still drowning in rainbow tomatoes 😅🥹🍅🌈❤️

This year the garden has just kept giving 🥹 Bringing half of the Crushed Heart tomatoes in today for indoor ripening.. There are still more on the plants but the seasons are changing so they won’t last much longer 🍅🍁🍃❤️ #Organic #GrowYourOwn #HomeGrownWithLove
In the garden, I’m holding a steel colander containing six large green/ black heart shaped ribbed tomatoes.

Went to the woods this morning and came home with pockets full of foraged hazelnuts (and some acorns 🤷🏽‍♀️😂) and got a bowl full of rainbow tomatoes from my neighbour who I gifted some seedlings to earlier this year ☺️🌈🌱🍅❤️

So I’ve spent pretty much all day today converting 2kg of my San Marzano’s into 300g of concentrated tomato paste. I wish you could taste how incredible this is.. Only two ingredients, tomato and a little salt ☺️🧂🍅😋❤️ #Organic #HomeGrownWithLove #HomeMadeWithLove

I’ve spent way more time than I should have trying to identify tomatoes I’ve grown this year from ‘mixed exotics’ seed. These are Crushed Heart tomatoes that are going in the ripening bowl today. Aren’t they pretty? 😍 🌱💔🍅 #Organic #HomeGrownWithLove #GrowYourOwn

Took a care package over to my rear neighbours to say thank you as they recently helped me sort out with a problem with my cat. The grown son is now apparently going to be coming round to mine to check out my garden as he wants to grow his own food too 😅😂☺️🙌🏽🌱❤️
