We seem to be working on the day out, day at home model of
staycation. Today has been peaceful, lazy with plenty of
stove side pottering. I made seven and a half more pots of
crab apple jelly and used some tonight as the sweet in sweet and sour pork.
It still tasted
appley and really added to the recipe.
I'm also planning to make a quilt. My first every. I've saved enough material over the months of visiting the scrap store and now I have the task of lots of sums to work out how much I need for a quilt to cover my bed. This would be a lot easier if I had a pattern to work to, which I haven't so if anyone wants to send me any pictures of squares based patterns, then I would be glad of an idea of where to start.
I've watched the old bird on You Tube who makes a 'quilt in a day'. Bless her old socks, she sounds like she's on a double
Prozac triple
espresso! If quilting makes me half that happy; I'll never need to go to the doctors ever again! It's giving me no end of fun watching her and I've been good, I've checked all my angles and I'm perfectly square.
All in all, another great day on holiday. I can totally recommend a holiday in
Liskeard, in a lovely house with plenty of tea and biscuits and a garden to sit in between the showers. Free fun and
freeish food and not a minute at work!
