Make It Monday 26th August 2024

Good morning!

Last week was productive! Lots of things were added to the pantry, and the present box and our household stores.

In the kitchen I made a huge batch of focaccia filling and froze it in 1 cup portions. I love to make this when we have excess zucchini and eggplant. I turned some into a veggie pasta sauce by adding tomato paste and a little cream (a very little cream, I scraped out the bottle) to the veggie mix. It was delicious mixed with pasta twists and baked. 

I sliced, blanched and dehydrated 3 bunches of celery.

I made banana cake for lunchboxes.

All our meals were cooked from scratch, using pantry ingredients. The only thing on my shopping list last week was milk!

In the craft room I made cards for the happy mail project and posted them off.

I made the samples for World Card Making Day and did a little more prep for the kits. 

After some searching I found a lovely card template and created a fun card for an upcoming card making retreat, and then put the kits together and happily crossed that job off my to do list. 

I attended a Zoom Scan and Cut retreat from 1am - 5pm Sunday morning. And yes, I needed a nap yesterday! I learned so much more and practiced on some small projects, and came away with ideas for so many more. 

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