Gardening and skirts

They don't go very well together!

Last week I went to the first gathering of a crafting club. There are only 5 of us so far, but we are hoping to have more join us. The idea is to share our different crafting expertise so we can all learn new abilities. First up: we are learning to sew a circle skirt!

I went shopping yesterday and found some fabric:

The elastic band will be the waist/belt of the skirt. I am excited to see how it works out this Wednesday.

One of the reasons we all decided on a skirt was two of the girls are doing a no-pants-summer challenge. They want to wear skirts all summer long. I thought, hey, I could do that too!

Wearing a skirt to work=no problem.

Wearing a skirt to the garden after work on a windy day=big problem.

So I am giving my summer challenge some leeway.

I did manage to get a little work done today. I got some tomato cages in:

Then I stood for awhile and admired the plants...

Look at those cabbages! It makes me so happy!
