Being in production mode for the FabMo show in just 1 month I was allowing myself a little experimentation this week after a week full of happenings! I fractured my toe when the cutting board flew off the counter smashing the top bone in my big toe, so for the next month I have to wear a flat bottomed shoe in order for the toe to heal completely. This was something I did not need with my current schedule – still life goes on and I just have to use my other foot to work the sewing machine! I wanted to made an elastic waist fun skirt to tie in with Halloween so I found this zebra print – very 80s and lined it with a tulle to poof it out a little bit. It feels a lot of fun to wear and this is a piece that will be for sale at the show – yay one item down, who knows how many more…

As I was looking at the skeleton in the Doctors office I wanted to know which bone I fractured – it is the top bone before the joint (thank goodness!) Still it is fascinating to see the skeleton and to see how fragile them bones can be!

| Amazing bone structure! |
So the weekend involved a lot of cooking as friends of ours visited with their little bubba from Seattle. So I prepared galettes for lunch on Sunday with a fig tart for dessert. For the family I made this super cool chick pea rice dish – vegetarian (omit the egg) with mung beans from the Salad Samurai cookbook, perfect for summer salads on these hot days!
