Make It Monday, 21st October 2024

Good morning everyone.

Monday sure does roll around fast.

Last week was a short working week for us. We were away for four days, and it was lovely to be able to switch off and just be. 

Here are last week's attempts at making, baking, growing and sewing.

Making
I have finished the Christmas cards I send. Woo hoo! 
Five more happy mail cards were made and sent.
I'm really happy with the way the little ornaments I made for the Christmas tree turned out, so I made more, packed them in sets and sold them at a little market stall I had, just to see if they'd sell. I made five sets of six and all five sold. Another woo hoo!, I will be adding these to our shop this week.
I crocheted a market bag and three dishcloths for a gift exchange (thank you Keren for the inspiration with the market bag!).

​Baking
All our meals were cooked from scratch, using ingredients on hand. 
I finished the pantry stocktake and made a plan to restock it before the end of the year. 
ANZAC Slice, again. This was to take away with us, as it travels and stores well.
Two Christmas cakes were made, wrapped and put away for Christmas. This week I'll do some more, and maybe a pudding if time permits.
Not baking, but I made a big batch of meatball pasta bake for a pot luck dinner we attended on Saturday night. The pot was scraped clean!

Growing
More weeding. 
More renovating pots ready to replant.
I cut more rhubarb, it is growing really well at the moment.
I thinned the strawberries, and spread out the runners. 

Sewing
I mended a pair of jeans and put a new waistband on a pair of track pants for AJ. 
I darned a hole in one of my socks. I love these socks, so I'll mend them until I can't. 

What did you make, bake, grow and sew last week?
