Decorated the Living room. Before and after: moving in day vs now.

Marmalade day was a big success

Marmalade Day 2024

In the past three days I have made hot cross buns and mince pies. I have no idea what time of year it is, but it’s definitely being time (the buns were a request from my 8 year old, and the pies were to test the batch of mincemeat I made a few weeks ago).

Hello hello.

Currently decorating the dining room so everything is everywhere, and untidy house = untidy mind, but hopefully will find a date for the flooring to be put in soon.

Then it’ll be time to hang wallpaper. The best bit.

I’ve got some berries out of the freezer to make some jam, and whilst I thaw and macerate those in sugar I am making some spiced pastry patties to freeze.

Have not started any sewing prep yet because I was expecting g the boys to be out of the house for a few hours but those plans were cancelled.

Finished a project that was overstaying its welcome because the pattern wasn’t very good so I had to do a lot to make it ‘work’. Now I’m going to make something fun. A top for me, some place settings and napkins and cushions for the dining table on and I may English Paper Piece a laptop sleeve. 🧶🧵🪡

I’m glad autumn is here. It’s more comfortable and relaxed than summer, but due to the messy weather this year my favourite summer make of 2023 don’t get nearly enough wear 😅

🪡 Fully pattern matched as well! 🧵

Hopefully it still fits next summer 🤞🏼

On the slim chance I end up with a bit of free time I may make another batch of these. Omnomnomasaurs.
