Summer Food

A lot of our meals lately have looked like this: noodles in a basic broth, chock full of vegetables and mushrooms, with a little bit of seafood or meat, and some summer fruit. It's easy, filling, and healthy after a week of binging.

The strawberries were from a "pick your own" place in Sonoma! J said they were possibly the best strawberries he's ever had, and he rarely eats strawberries because he thinks they're sour. You can't fault a man for having high standards.

I've also been feeling crafty lately. I finally thought of something to do with a little piece of painted Italian lether I found awhile ago. Isn't it colorful? I got a button stud, played around with a piece of paper until I made a usable template, and then cut the leather out.

As you can tell, there's no sewing or gluing required. It's just a little cardholder for when I don't want to go out with my entire wallet. And the flowers make me happy.
