Playing at Domestic Goddess

Today I will attempt to make Mandarin Jam.

Instead of spending years saving jars, I ended up buying around 60 new jars and lids.  I have big plans for jam this year.

Cushions, rug and paint

I'm very proud of the zip backing I put on these cushion covers :-)

The hooked rug is getting boring and I'm only 1/10th of the way thorugh.  Options 1) use the colours in a different way 2) reduce the size.

A greeting card/painting in progress. (same scaley pattern as the rug!).

A quick one

Clockwise from top left:

  • Quick biscuits using this recipe-  Very yummy!
  • Jasper and Chris at swimming lessons
  • Yoghurt with leatherwood honey - yum!
  • A bit of cross stitch, I'm using motifs I downloaded from Needleprint, they are the set called Vierlander Motifs Volume 1.

  • This week my 'Free Friday' was spent sewing a quilt top. My new strategy is to use the services of a long arm quilter to get some UFO's finished and into use - lickety split.
  • All the yarn for the rug project has been cut, bundled and stashed in a basket ready for hooking.
  • I finally finished the crocheted blanket!  I hope it gets lots of use by it's new owner - baby Mietta.
  • A shot of my work table last Friday morning - the radio is tuned to Classic FM, there's coffee in the plunger and a day of sewing (and pilates class) is ahead of me.
