Novelty Melon Season

Hurry - before the season ends...novelty melon season that is.  They are those unusual melons snuggled in next to the cantaloupes and honeydew but are neither.  Locally for me, they are at the corner fruit stand and at my local grocers.  But how to choose one...hmmmm.  Give it a sniff - if it smells sweet/perfumey then it’s ready.  Just slice it open, scoop out the seeds, serve it halved or sliced into wedges or cut away from the rind in cubes which is how I serve it so you can have just one bite to top off dinner or tuck in at breakfast for a sweet, juicy morning treat.  See what you think...

When I’m not serving up juicy, sweet cold melon to my family, I’m sewing cotton pocket aprons for my online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdrawerthreads and www.amazon.com/handmade/topdrawerthreads . 

Or I’m merrily working upcycled yarns into knitted cowls for my other shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdraweryarns .

My daughter’s have an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/yesdesigns - where they design and sew colorful stretch knit leggings in size x small to 2X.

My older daughter has an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/wildwovenwomen - hand knit  lovely striped afghans to curl up into.
