Speciality Dragonscale Crochet 🐉 & terrible puns
Another very nice 5⭐ review for the beginners crochet class.

Makes my day every time ☺️

A few spaces left in the January class if you want to start a new hobby in 2026

That's our apple harvest in.
4 reasonable sized fruits and if these are as sweet and crisp as the 1st I will be really happy.

Had a trial run today of making paper pumpkins for the craft classes
Used strips of Halloween. Autumn and coffee themed craft paper with twisted tissue stalk and leaves

Using the largest of the squash (and I needed help cutting it up) I've made my first soup of the season.
Bit of nutmeg & cayenne pepper in this batch

Slowing down for #Garden2025 🌱
Got a handful of purple sprouting broccoli and I've planted 20 garlic cloves in what was the squash bed.

I took the crab apple mix a stage further and turned it into cordial

It's a stunning colour!

A very productive day
In addition to putting a cabinet together with my daughter I had time in the garden.

Pruned back the curry plant and artemisia as they were taking over.

My roses are still flowering!

The squash and carrot harvest

And now cooking down crab apples for pectin

In June we made birthday cards and then did either flower themed weaving or string art

Timed our trip well, it's Louth's Food and Drink Festival.
Rain didn't dampen people's spirits

In July we were painting acrylic pendants and making paper sunflowers. We made pompoms for the centre of the flowers

I've been really slack posting the crafting we've been doing in the Residential Care Homes this year.

I'm going to rectify that so I'm working backwards...

Green tomato chutney made yesterday plus the remaining red tomatoes cooked and frozen ready to keep me going in cheese & tomato toasties over winter.
And to finish the tomato theme I used a couple of tins of plum tomatoes to make pizza topping.

Time to collect up the last tomatoes and cucumber.
Think I'll make a tiny batch of green tomato chutney

Time for the inaugural grape harvest.

Not too shabby seeing we have no idea what we're doing.
AND we're in Glasgow which is not renowned for its sunny climes.

It's lovely waking up to another crochet class review. 🧶
And I promise there's no manic laughter when I pull back someone's work. 😁

He's so made a support for the gourd!

Attacking the couch grass this month.
More cardboard down, LOTS of roots lifted and sometimes just a burn it all attitude

My husband has been a star doing the heavy digging, lifting & burning. There's no way I would have this much done without him

Small but perfectly formed. Our first bunch of grapes. Not bad considering their growing outside in Glasgow

A sunny day after the rain.
Started with a slight autumnal chill which means it's time to re-start the crochet classes at The Wool Haven
