another Eye Candy Friday from the garden...

...because I have nothing craft-wise that's worth showing!

This geranium is in the front yard:

and I've been trying to get decent pictures of the star jasmine for years....this this the best so far (still not really happy with it, but at least it's not a white blob):

I can't begin to tell you how many plants there are called "Butterfly Bush." Here's the Buddleia version:

The tomatoes are started to ripen (Yay!). Here's one of the heirlooms:

The Husband picked some eggplant and chiles:

On the craft front, I have warped the loom with some practice yarn to test out some weaving patterns from the book "Textures and Patterns for the Rigid Heddle Loom" by Betty Linn Davenport. The patterns are pretty cool and easy to do. I like how the author has written the instructions; this book is a good addition to my growing weaving library.

Up this weekend: finish playing with the weaving patterns and warp the loom for another wrap...this time in Dream in Color yarn (Classy and Baby in "Deep Seaflower"). Maybe ply the Nocturne singles that have been resting for a week. Errands...cleaning...another full weekend!
