Sketches

Hi
Heres some of my latest journalling, just some quick doodly pages. One based on cacti and their flowers, and the other on a pattern from some material. I like how the pages are so quick to create and are bold and colourful.

Mexican gherkins

Anyone know how to pickle my mexican gherkins?
I have some kind of spiced vinegar we used for making chutneys last year but I dont know what to do with it to pickle these things?

Christmas cards.

This is what I have been working on this last week.

A child-like cut-out Christmas tree with shiny baubles done with a hole punch.


Recycled paper baubles which can be removed and used as decorations. It says Best Wishes in gold glittery embossing powder at the bottom.

Recycled paper VERY shiny stars

These are my favourite but are larger than the others - these are A5 rather than A6.

Christmas cards

Pictures coming soon - today I have started making Christmas cards to sell on my website!!

Blogging

What I really love about the blogs I read is how chatty and friendly they are. I love learning about other peoples lives and seeing all the things they have cooked or made. So why when it comes to me do I seem to keep forgetting to blog because nothing has happened!!!
When in reality I have
- made some lanyards
- possibly got someone to share my workshop with (must ring her again)
- started doing kids club again with my husband
- got a real block on doing silversmithing at the moment for some reason (must do some next week)
- my tomatoes are being got by the cold as they ripen so the nice green ones are in the freezer now to make chutney later, as are the tomatillos
- my sweetcorn are still not readybut are hopefully protected from the cold.
- my mexican gherkins are ready to pickle but I have no jars
- one of my peppers has turned a beautiful bright orange in a matter of days!
- I made some lemon nutmeg scones off someones blog - temporarily forgotton whose
- I also made some honey scotch pancakes with my special honey to help my poor husband with his infected impacted wisdom tooth.
- we made beautiful chicken valentines with pea and potato mash for tea yesterday

And I think nothing has happened!!!!!

Too long since I've been here

You ever have a time when life seems so busy but at the same time so empty of anything you want to blog about? - no cooking,no crafting, very little jewellery making - just my everyday life! Maybe I should blog more about that - make it more personal and not just crafty stuff?
What do you think?
