So much going on over here at Bejeweled....
not much sewing but some.
A friend gave me some tomatoes and so I decided to can them....oh my gosh.
I so love to can.
But I hate tomatoes and truly hated smelling them, almost lost my cookies a few times
Have I told you how I hate tomatoes???
Truly hate them. I will eat spaghetti sauce, ketchup but if they have chunks in them.....
just can't do it.
Then I purchased some peaches
I could can ever day.....
made some jelly
What to can now???
I am working on an Island Batik project for August
here is a sneak peak.... using the fabric line "Lavish" and some
Desert Rose.
I have actually purchased some Island Batik fabric but purchased it online but maybe you are luckier than I am and can find a place to purchase your own by using Island Batik store locator.

i can't imagine not liking tomatoes. But I know some people really can't stand them. I love canning preserves. I am going to try some low sugar ones this year when the figs start getting ripe.
The peek at your project looks great.
Totally beautiful!
I love canning too and just saw a recipe for watermelon jelly that I really want to try!
Lovely peek at your sewing project! I never heard of someone hating tomatoes. I'll take them, lol!
I wouldn't can something that I didn't like. Really. I used to love to can. Pickles and I loved putting up apple pie mixture in quart jars; ready to just pour in a crust and go for it.
Ha! I did strawberry jam with the granddaughters today, but am working on the peaches this week. The tomatoes aren't enough to can yet. I love doing it too.
I used to can, but not anymore. The older I get, the less time I want to spend in the kitchen! Looking forward to seeing your latest Island Batik project in August!
I love tomatoes but my stomach no longer tolerates them. Canning them must have been near impossible for you even with fans blowing and all the windows open. We each have a smell we can't stand.
Your Island Batik projects are always so bright and fun.
What yummy fun. Love your sneak peek. Your canned tomatoes remind me of being a young girl. My grandmother always canned tomatoes and I can remember even in the winter that she could prepare a yummy meal that tasted like summer.
