After I added my post here yesterday, it was time to make those Rainbow Scrap Challenge Blocks.
Ta da! Nice and simple. Pop over to So Scrappy to see what else has been achieved.
Then, it was time to start making a beautiful mess. I’m having a lovely time playing with these scraps.
When the weather cooled down in the evening we ventured into the garden.
It was time to dig the potatoes we planted in the tyres back in September. This was the first time we have grown potatoes, although my Dad always grew them, so I had been involved as a kid.
We filled a bucket with 6.5kgs of potatoes from five seed potatoes. A lot of them are quite small. Was it an economical project? We probably broke even. I think I paid about $7 for the seed potatoes. However, we didn’t plant them all and gave some to out neighbour. It would have been profitable if we had planted them all. Will we do it again? Yes, probably, as they are easy to grow and fairly maintenance free. And of course, it is always nice to have home grown anything. Now to enjoy eating them.
OK, back to the sewing room to play.

Nothing like home grown anything... so yes try again. Love all the blue scraps being turned into another projects...xox
Great RSC block and you got a good crop of spuds.
Pretty blue scraps there. Looks like you are having fun with those sea glass pieces. A good crop of potatoes. Personally I prefer smaller potatoes.
Another one who prefers smaller potatoes, too. I like your blues and greens.
Very nice blue blocks. You cannot beat home grown potatoes - well anything home grown really. Love the idea of putting them in tyres. xx
