Book review






Owwwwe! Chilled raspberry soup!

Salad cemetery.....?




A little book review on this wee sweetie
"The vintage tea party book"
by Angel Adoree
It was an impulse buy at our local poppies book store, but was $40 with 25% off.....$30, so not too bad I thought!
It is filled to the brim with fab recipes, interesting wee tips and inspirational pics.
Hope you week is going well?

Making & Reading






A few goodies I've been making over the past week. I am determined to have a decent amount made for cross hills market in November. I recently tried out a new baby shoe pattern, a free pattern off the web for reversible slippers. I wasn't all together happy with it as I found the hole for babies feet too small, so I have gone back to my own one I've adjusted over the years. I am however looking forward to trying out THIS pattern over the next few days.




Now for some seriously beautiful knitting..I found this book at the library the other day. It is divine! All the patterns in THIS book are classic well made styles with beautiful detailing.

Well I hope you're all enjoying the obvious changes in the weather. I know I am. Serious gardening has begun at our whare. I was lucky enough to score 5 bare rooted fruit trees from the Hort department at Massey in the weekend for $50. Our fence is now displaying 2 apple varieties (including one called 'peasgood nonsuch' what a name!) a quince, elephant heart plum & a dual peach. Its the first time we've tried 'espalier' growing, so I hope we don't kill them!
How is your garden growing?
