Easter wreath

This is an Easter wreath we made last week for the front porch

Ribbon flower

Just had a go at making a ribbon flower after seeing them on Sharon b's fab website, here is my attempt

Flower block wall hanging.

I've joined a local needlework group for immigrant women, Drentse Doeken, we have been working on a wall hanging for the volunteers centre. Each woman has made a square, this is the result so far, I'll post another photo when it is sewn together and hanging in place.

Card making.

I've been enjoying making greeting cards recently, here's one I made a few weeks ago on plastic canvas mounted on handmade paper then onto a pre-folded card.

Toadstools

I saw these cute toadstools whilst out walking the dog on Thursday.

Making chutney.

I've been making chutney from a recipe in an old book by Marguerite Patten, called 500 Recipes for Jams, Pickles, Chutneys.

As you can see, these books are well used. We've made hundreds of jars of chutney over the years and they always turn out well.

Our favourites are Apple and Pear, Autumn Fruits, and the Green Tomato chutney.

Harry's fan mail

Earlier this summer we had a lovely family from Denmark come to stay with us for the jeugdtour, their little girl made friends with our dog Harry and yesterday we had these lovely drawings from her.
