Make It Monday 27th November 2023

Good morning!

What a crazy week I had. Every day was flat chat, I felt like I was running from job to job, getting lots done, but nothing to show for all the running at the end of the day. Well except for the most untidy house I've ever had - it is a disaster, so today will be tidying up and putting away day, then I can do the Monday cleaning and we should be back to normal. Phew!

Spoke to Sue Dunstan from ABC radio in Horsham about Christmas and how we can enjoy a fun and faith filled Christmas without going broke. 

All the Christmas cards are written and ready to post on Thursday. 

We also had rain, and a good drop too, on Friday and Saturday, so the garden has had a nice long drink, no watering needed. 

Making
Pot Puff Scrubby - a new pattern that will eventually get into the shop
Crocheted a face cloth
​Used the ends of cotton to crochet some dish cloths for the kitchen

Baking
Fruit cup cakes for lunchboxes
Made a double batch of potato salad to last the week
Made quiche to use up eggs, cream and sad veggies and Hannah and I had it for tea on pizza night with lots of lovely fresh salad, it was so good too.
Made berry jam
Made rhubarb apricot jam
Dehydrated rosemary
Made rosemary salt (it's so good on roast potatoes)

Growing
Put new stakes next to two pear trees and an apple tree and tied them up. The wind (or something) had blown them over and they were on a good lean. Now they're standing tall and straight again. 
Tied up the tomatoes again, they are growing well. 
Cut back the rhubarb that had gone to seed.

Sewing
Made four hanging kitchen towels.

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