Make it Monday 8th January 2024

MOO pita bread, delicious and soft

Good morning!

Well the dreaded summer lurgy has struck our house. First it was No. 1 Son, then it was Hannah and I succumbed last night so forgive me if the list is a bit wonky!

When I sat down this morning, I wasn't sure I'd have much to share for Make It Monday, the week has flown by and things were done, but they didn't seem to be much.

Here's the list I had on the fridge:

• Picked rosemary and dehydrated it 
• Canned carrots (they were on sale for $1/kg and we love carrot, canning them makes them shelf stable and ready to eat straight from the jar)
• Made mixed berry jam (using berries from the freezer)
• Made and sent some cards for my Happy Mail project
• Cooked all our meals from scratch
• Made a bulk batch of pizza bases
• Made pita bread (using my new tortilla press)
• Mixed up a double batch of souvlaki seasoning for the pantry
• Made two birthday cards and added to gifts
• Made two birthday gifts and sent them off
• Crocheted a set of coasters for the present box

I did a little shopping over the weekend, the back-to-school sales are the ideal time to stock up on sticky notes and folders to add to the craft stash. There are packs of 15 sticky note pads for $5, making them 33 cents each. These are handy to have in the stash for quick little thank you gifts, stocking stuffers, a just because gift when you cover them. They're also great for stalls too - Mother's Day, Father's Day, Christmas etc.

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