Make It Monday 18th March 2024

Hello!.

Autumn cleaning is almost finished. Just the last little tweaks to do this week and the house will be spic and span for the rest of autumn and winter, such a nice feeling.

This week's makes:
Finished a hunter green tea cosy for a friend's daughter.
While I was in a tea cosy mood, I found some pink wool and made a new tea cosy for my tea pot for winter, and then Hannah spotted it and asked if she could have one too, so that is almost finished. 

​Some cards for the Happy Mail Project.

​This week's bakes:
Not baking but made a big batch of Depression Era Salad and filmed it.
Made a double pasta bake, one for tea one for the freezer.
Made a double batch of wheat tortillas, used some and froze the others.
Dehydrated celery and celery leaves. Ground the leaves to powder to use in soup and Cream of Anything Cup a Soup.
Canned 8 pints of mushrooms and 4 pints mushroom stock from three kilos of mushrooms.

​This week's grows:
Picked more rosemary and rhubarb and some raspberries. 
Used a homegrown cucumber and garlic, and MOO yoghurt to make tzatziki.

This week's sews:
​Hannah asked for something to store her knives in in her camping box so she wouldn't get cut when she put her hand in to get one out. One handtowel and 20 minutes and this is what I came up with. I used some silver iron-on vinyl and a free SVG of cutlery to decorate it. Now she doesn't have to be afraid of putting her hand in the box, the blades are safely covered.
