A spot of UP-CYCLING

My lovely new green bag is made out of my singlet. Sew up the bottom and Voila! So very easy and full of feel good. I had some curtain material that has been waiting in my stash just for the right project......

I have always been a little scared of the artichoke...until now. I have found a great recipe to turn this into this....

I found a great book called Mangia! Mangia! by Oats and Villella. 
I highly recommend this book. A couple of Italian Nona's recipes written by their daughters. Check it out.
I haven't had much luck so far with my olives...If anyone knows of a tried and true olive marinade I would love to hear about it.

I now heading out to take my new bag for a walk..
Happy Wednesday!
