A very wet weekend.
Still coughing and spluttering but on the mend.
FRIDAY
Turned up the music and loved my home back into order.
So satisfying getting all the floors done and filling the home with flowers.
SATURDAY
Where did Saturday go?
Disappeared in a flash it did.
Memorable highlights include seeing the cutie nieces
and sharing a "champagne therapy session" with my besty.
(Thanks Jax)
SUNDAY
As I mentioned in the last post I am in the midst of putting together
a gift for a friend who is brilliant in the kitchen. She makes the most delicious
Blackberry Jam I have ever consumed and I thought in order to repay her in kind,
my gifts should be hand made too.
However - preserves are not really my forte so I am sticking to
more crafty tokens and these clay tags (for her gastronomic delights)
are the next part of my gift.
I rolled out the clay as you would pastry. Then using cookie cutters I shaped them.
Next you pierce a hole in them so that twine can be added later.
I used a letter-press set to add some words.
Quite chuffed with the end result really.
The clay is from Spain and very reasonably priced.
After allowing it to air dry you can paint or varnish them.
I'm thinking I'll leave mine unpainted.
Bit more rustic methinks.
Then time for more music and a spot of sewing.
Lit the candles - rain outside.
Hubby & Prince at a country football match.
House to myself.
Blissfully peaceful and therefore - productive.
Loreena Mckennit is truly something else.
Finished the tote....
.... complete with a pouch to house the muslin food covers.
Then all that was left to do was oraganize a tray of bliss...
Curl up on the couch and ....
(I think I too shall toast cheese and bread over an open fire one day... in a manor
house.... wearing the very latest poplin and ribbons...)
..... relax.
Sigh.... all in all a wonderful weekend.
