Jam.........Having Fun....

JaM Taking Just a Moment to gather & share the things you have noticed,
consumed, created &/or brought during your week......................

Well I seem to have got my creative Mojo back and i can't seen to stop.......


                                                  
I finally cut up one of my vintage tablecloths (it had a hole) to make some bunting for my upcoming open-garden in November. Don't think hubby was to happy listening to the machine at 3am though........(oh she's at it again).


                                                   


                                                      


                                                     
                            A little bit of detail on the reverse....


A bit like a jigsaw, one in reds and one in greens................then  maybe, blue, yellow, purple.........................

Oh and made heaps of marmalade, lemon and lime, grapefruit and ginger,
three fruits, beetroot relish and this afternoon rhubarb marmalade.

I've found jam making and sewing a good combination as you can go from one to the other, the only thing being no house work gets done and there's no bench space left................oh well the sun's shining and we can always eat outside !!!

Hope your all enjoying the beautiful spring weather.

JaM.............Enjoying the solitude...........

                               
JaM....Taking a moment to share ....,....
 noticing, consuming, creating or what's been brought...............


Time over the weekend to smell the roses daphne and enjoy some time to myself ...........................

I don't know how you feel but I love (need) quiet time every now and then, no TV, no going out, simple meals,  long soak in the bath, a good book,
an afternoon walk................


                                                                         

Wall flowers always put a smile on my face, oh and some sunshine..............

After about 2 days of my own company I'm feeling refreshed, relaxed and ready to................ go out for coffee, shop and visit girlfriends.........

A quick sneak look in a Op shop which is always closed but just happened to be opened.............. What a find ........

                                                     

               Guess what I'm going to be doing over the next week?

                                                     

    Creating lots of different marmalade .................

    a gift from friends , Oranges, Grapefruit,Lemons, Limes and Oranges...

    I'm thinking Grapefruit and Ginger to start with !!!

    Do you have a favorite marmalade?
