Picklin'

It really doesn't get much cuter than this.  I have had this in my head for months and have been waiting on my garden to produce some delicious cucumbers and finally the day has arrived!  I made these quick pickles yesterday and let them soak for 24 hours.  I put them in a ball jar, cut a square of gingham fabric and just wrapped it with some hemp cord.  I had to use my tiny tags die just so I could make a little 'pickles' tag.  This is my first time making my own pickles and they came out pretty well for my first shot.  I will tweak my recipe a little more next time.  I used fresh garlic, dill and cucumbers all from my own garden and then added some apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt and pickling spices.
