I have been doing a little bit of everything this week. I started a new crochet project a charcoal grey and mustard shawl, I will post photographs once finished. The only problem is everytime I start to crochet my dog Tilly thinks the ball of yarn is a pillow, she is not too happy when it keeps moving.
In between doing this I have been making a few things for Ulverston Scrap Store, I volunteer at the Scrap Store once a week, Thursday's between 2pm and 5pm. I try to make things using items from the store to give people a few ideas on what you can make. I have made two items this week, the first one was pin wheels using sample wallpaper pieces.
The second project was a fridge magnet made using tin lids from the store.
I have also been making lots and lots of jam, redcurrant, blackberry, blackberry and elderberry, damson, plum, crab apple. It's been a great year for fruit and vegetables in the UK, much better than last year. I have just harvested all of my sturon white onions and boltardy beetroot, yellow and green beans, pointed cabbages. It's the first year I have ever grown turnips and I have been pleased with the results. The only items I have in the allotment left are cabbages, turnips and green and purple sprouts. It's a good job they are not ready to harvest yet as I'm rapidly running out of storage space.

Your very creative Helen, what have you used round the edges of the tin lid for your fridge magnet.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the compliment, the product is called Flower Soft in the colour Autumn, it feels a bit like dried moss. It can be attached using most glues or double sided tape.
