Fruits Of My Labours

Yesterday i spent cooking. I'd been to my Mum's recently & picked up oranges & blood oranges on the way home i bought limes & Tangelos. Then last Thursday i came back from the shops to discover 3 bags of citrus on my door step. Still a mystery as to who left them there. In the bags were lemons, lemonade fruit, limes & Tangelos. I've still got the marmalades/jams to make.
Preserved lemons, Limoncello, blood orange butter & lime butter. Not sure how the preserved lemons will go as it's a new recipe i decided to try.

Let's Celebrate Swap

This month our swap was to make a mug rug & include a yummy recipe. I showed you a sneaky peek last post & Lyn(no blog) has let me know she has received her goodies so i can now show it. Not a good photo i know but my camera has decided to play up.
I included some teabags in the pocket along with Tim Tams & the recipe was for a Caramel Slice.

Finishes & sneak peeks.

I've made another scrap basket,
2 pincushions,




Showing 4 sides of the 2 pincushions i made for the Stitch-A-Long & the buttons on top.

The other 3 finishes i can only show a sneak peek as the are for swaps.

Time to get a new camera i think. Every photo i took this morning was blurry. I had to use zoom to get clear photos. Very frustrating.
