Make It Monday 5th February 2024

​Good morning!

This past week has been a week of tomatoes, lots and lots of tomatoes.

Hannah was home for the weekend and I sent home a big container of tiny toms and some freshly picked cucumbers with her.

I used the slow cooker and cooked some down to make pasta sauce. This has been frozen because I didn't peel them, and for canning tomatoes need to be peeled. 

I roasted some in the oven with olive oil and rosemary and used them on our pizzas.

We ate them everyday with our salad for dinner and Wayne took a small container in his lunchbox every day.

I picked raspberries every day. They were washed, drained and frozen and when there is enough I'll use them to make jam.

I made some cards to add to the present box, and some to send to the nursing home. I also made my happy mail cards for the week.

Remember when I said I was going to spend some time every day at the sewing machine? I do - and I haven't! I did get to the sewing machine this week though and made some kitchen towels for the present box and worked on a new gift idea I had, a carrier and heat mat for a hair straightener. Hannah claimed it as soon as she saw it, and she loves it, so I'll add more to the present box. 

Looking back, it was a productive week!

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