A Productive Long-Weekend

I don't know about you but I had a very productive week-end. Ok, maybe it started Thursday. Jon and I spent our long weekend being productive. It makes me feel like we did a lot if I see it in list form so I'll try to remember everything:

-dug up 1/4 of the potatoes in the garden
-picked a bunch of peas, carrots, and rhubarb
-cut and freeze bags of strawberries and rhubarb
-made 4 batches of friendship bread. freeze 2 loafs worth
-made and freeze 4 lunch meals for Jon's work and 1 dinner worth of casserole
-made 8 small jars of strawberry rhubarb jam
-made strawberry rhubarb crumble
-made homemade buns
-made crab apple jelly
-cleaned the whole house top to bottom
-go through 11 boxes in storage and only keep 3.
-made a bunch of new jewelry for the shop. I might do a post about this later this week.
-exercised twice for an hour each time.
-went for a kayak
-did laundry
-oh and made some "subway art"

I feel tired just looking at all we crammed into 4-5 days.

I found a great tutorial on how to make your own subway art using picnik. So I decided to give it a try.

I like this saying so I made it to sit on our breakfast nook. My printer ink is almost gone so it didn't print out all that great. But it still adds some color to the room.


 

I saw the idea to this one on pinterest. After I printed it out I went back and made the line a little lower. But this way is still cute too. I like that we can use a dry erase marker on it and leave a surprise note for each other.

How was your long weekend? Did you get a lot done? Or enjoyed the last of summer?



p.s. Make sure you "like" my shop's facebook page! I'm going to be having a giveaway this week for friends who have liked it!
