It's a holiday Monday here in Canada "Labour Day" and the day was full of labour. Saturday the tomatoes were purchased and peeled and cored, then set overnight. On Sunday I chopped onions and peppers, a few hot ones and cooked up the salsa. I pulled out the canner and processed 17 quarts, I hope it lasts a while as it takes a long time to complete.
Today Monday, I canned up the leftover tomatoes and now have nine quarts of canned tomatoes.
I have a box of apples that my sister dropped off so applesauce, apple crisp and apple pies may be in my near future.
Just a little bit of tatting was done. These little angels done in "Ricamo Ancora" part of the vintage thread gifted a few weeks ago.
Almost half around this row and eager to finish to get back to the "Big One". You tat a banner of hearts separately and it is recommended not to close into a circle but wait for the connecting round. I really like the hearts pattern round the edge of this doily. The pattern can be found here. 
The last of this years canning has been completed and I just finished up 11 quarts and 2 pints of pears. It is not my husbands favorite so these are all mine, although I did promise a jar to my sister. I used the glass lids and rubber rings, these look so pretty in the cupboard as I remove the metal bands to store. It is a little tricky to use glass lids and I wouldn't recommend it to someone just starting out canning as there are newer and easier ways.
