Handmade Crochet Hooks & Succulents ♥

This past weekend I had a little photo session with my two loves:

Crochet & Succulents

Thought it might be fun to share. ;)

BTW, the hooks in these photos were carved by my awesome hubby.  Whenever I'm feeling in-need-of-love he surprises me with a new hook.  He takes first prize.

Monster Cucumbers!

It's too bad these giants turned out bitter!  Aren't they just so fun to look at though?!  Oh well, off to the compost pile they go... I couldn't help but make a little Instagram collage too. hehe

Today's Harvest: Lemon Cucumbers & A Tiny Bell Pepper

It seems like every day I get to pick a few more goodies out of our garden.  

Today I found 3 beautiful lemon cucumbers just asking to be cut up and thrown into a delicious salad.

I also found this little green bell pepper.  

According to the label on the plant, this guy is supposed to be red.  

Upon close inspection this pepper was telling me it was ready to be harvested...I think.  

The skin was getting slightly wrinkled on the bottom and the body of the pepper felt hollow and pliable.

Aren't they so pretty?!
