Lego my Bacco

To be honest... I thought that just making those bacon masks out of real bacon would be awesome... 

Edible face masks.. mmmm

It didn't even OCCUR to me to find bacon fabric!  Now I need to go shopping... soon...

Anyway...  what I've been up to...

Because who needs extra coffee when you're me?!

Someone on Freecycle was giving away a seedling starter get up.  I have no idea what it's called but it has 4 sets of lights and a heating pad as well as a fantastic rack to hook it all up to.

On here it looks like a tanning bed, but it is an indoor hot house for little plants to start growing.

I have a bunch of little containers with leaf lettuce growing as of yesterday, some sweet mini pepper plants from some store bought peppers and an avocado seed going.  Then this morning I added some cucumbers to make pickles with.  

I'm going to grow as many in my hot house as possible this year as the garden is being used by Jen and Ryan.  I hope to start eating lettuce from my garden in 39 days. 

And with the hot house in my office (it's turned off while I'm out here because I thought I'd caught the Covid yesterday when I kept overheating...) it will remind me to water them all.

I wrote the date they were planted and what's in them in marker on each container.  The peppers and cukes are in apple juice (the 1/2 size) containers with a big hole cut out in the side and some drainage holes in the bottom side.

My sister would be so proud of me!  

And yep - that's a Burda pattern getting traced out in front of it.  No masks in the works right now but there could be if I need to.  I still have about 8 upstairs that need to get some elastic on them some day...

AND this was the boy this morning.  I've challenged him to find and build at least one Lego puzzle from his thousands of books.  The dinosaur that he's working on may have some discolored parts, but that's ok.  If he's missing something, it's either under his bed or in the vacuum cleaner.

A few years back, we all played with Legos at Matthew's parent's house like this.  Dump it all out in piles and start digging for pieces!  Matthew had done one Lego kit so many times, he could do it without the instructions.  I think it was a rocket or maybe R2D2.  Don't recall without asking him.

Anyway Happy Friday!  I hope it's a great weekend!
