Still keeping busy

As you can see from these following pictures, I am still working on my crocheting. I love keeping busy in the evenings while I watch TV. This burp cloth actually has a new edging that I made up. I took an edging pattern that I've used a whole lot and then I added an extra row of stitches and I love it. I'm not sure I'm the first person ever to do this...but nobody showed me how to do it...I just tried it.

The asters are out! I absolutely love these flowers and they make the backyard so beautiful.
Cucumbers anyone? My mom only wanted to plant one or two cucmber plants but I talked her into planting a half a row. Well, the consequence has been too many cucumbers. Sorry Mom, I just love cucumbers and thought you needed more plants. I forgot that you are the only one in your house that eats cucumbers.
As you can see, these are not typical cucumbers...I think they are called Armanian Cucumbers. They are my mom's favorite cucumber...and very yummy. They also get very large but don't get bitter so you can eat lots of cucumber. The dark green cucumber is a Japanese Long cucumber...and SM actually planted this type in our own garden.

Where do you get the fabric to crochet? I have a hard time finding fabric that is ready to be crocheted.

Love to see that the garden is growing. Wish that our garden was producing as much as your mom's garden has produced this year and in years past.
