It has been a lovely time for making things at home recently. One of the benefits of Andrew working shift work is having him at home some weekdays, like Wednesday this week, and Friday, before he starts night shift. Last weekend we’ve all helped pick elderflowers, which Andrew made into elderflower cordial. He then used the sliced lemon and lime from this recipe to make marmalade.
I made a pair of simple pj trousers for William out of an old purple shirt of Andrews (with some material from my stash for trim) and have been testing egg-free cake recipes (in preparation for William’s birthday next month.
I also made strawberry jam recently, with strawberries picked while mum was here.
And thanks to Alice for getting hold of the best Anzac cookie recipe in the Filby family, I also made a batch of Anzacs, which didn’t last long.
Our window box and wall basket out the front of the house are re-stocked with flowers, which we enjoy as we go to and fro from home. Ah, I am happy.
Next project is a little quilt cushion cover, as a practice run before I start on my first ever quilt, for Sophie. Here is a sneak preview....
