SUNSHINE & PORRIDGE


November sunshine greeted us this morning....absolutely beautiful! I actually sat outside & had my hot drink before breakfast....taking some time to just sit, look & listen.

It's been a while since my last post. It was very heartwarming to read such kind, funny & encouraging comments & I'd like to extend my thank yous once more to those of you who took a moment to write something....it gave me a real boost. Just to hear how I'm not alone when I'm wondering how to juggle things really helps :)


So back to today....our supper's now cooking on the stove....another favourite Nigel Slater recipe....mmmmm aubergines! Served with a big huge helping of hummus....me & C will be reeking of garlic tonight. I am planning on baking date & walnut biscuits in the next few days (recipe kindly sent to me by lovely Julie) once I've found some date spread....no joy in the hunt at the supermarket so I may end up trying to make some instead.


Creations today?...more fabrics corsages for Abi's cafe. Should be all finished tonight when I'll be stitching the brooch pins on by the fire. I'll post a picture of them tomorrow....until then hope everyone's having a good week so far! x

morning julie! i make a few knick-knacky things that my friend sells by the counter in her cafe (cards, corsages, key rings & bookmarks)...she has a range of work from different artists displayed & for sale (photography, silk paintings, ltd edition prints etc)...so i'm hoping to sell a few stocking fillers as folk pay for their coffees :)
