One of my cats loves to squeeze into small or unusual spaces. The other night found him under the computer table. The shelf is very narrow but he slept for hours there without falling off.
Every year we make a trek to a bush lemon tree that we found beside a road out in the country. They make the best lemon butter. Recently we picked the last of them.
The lemon butter doesn't last long in my house. I manged to get a photo of a bottle from the last batch. I'll be making more tomorrow as i've had requests for a bottle of it.
A friend grows lemonade fruit & recently gave me some.
I squeeze them to make lemonade although they are quite delicious to eat.
Very refreshing lemonade. Pity it wasn't summer as it would be great then.

Bec mentioned on her blog she was selling off fabrics, patterns & books. I bought her stash of Civil War/Repro fabrics. :)
Lots of yummy fabrics. :)
I've been working on this pattern from
Shell
And bought these patterns & Cosmo thread.
I need a new armchair caddy as mine is years old now & wearing out.
Happy Stitching,

Jeanette what lovely buys you got and what you do with the lemons is amazing what is homemade lemonade like and is it quick to make,well done,i feel like i have been watching masterchef and i have been shopping with you,great post.
I've never heard of lemon butter~! Why is it cats get into the most unlikely places and stay there...mine is half on a chair right now, one leg hanging over, looking like she might fall. She's been there for an hour.
Good buy on the fabrics and patterns!
Tell me about this lemon butter. What is in it? I love lemon and it sounds like I would want to spread this on EVERYTHING!
Great fabrics Jeanette. My Mum always made lemon butter when I was young and it was so yummy.
