A Crafty Yarn

As it's been so hot lately.... I've had plenty of time to spend in the craft room....Here's what I've been up to this week... Painting with ink:   I've also spent a bit of time doing some dehydrating... The basil plants are out of control!    It's much to hot to bake bread so I dried our over-ripe bananas to make some snacks.   We got a batch of apples that had almost no flavor! I sprinked these with cinnamon and sugar to make dried apple chips... yummy!

I made this basket a while back and I can't believe I forgot to post it! I found some great directions online so anyone who wants to try this can message me and I'll send you some links! Here is an upclose look at the weaving....

I love figs! LOVE them! They are so tasty. My mother in law Amelia has a gigantic fig tree in her back yard and while we enjoy eating them fresh...We also like to have fig jam...So yesterday I picked a bunch of them and when I got home I canned some up! From this: To this:
