Weekending








In the garden
  • loving seeing honey bees again, these ones especially, were enjoying my lemon blossoms
  • new season vegetable seedlings have been planted - a grafted cherry tomato, which should give me yellow and red tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, capsicum and parsley so far.
Sewing
  • sewing up those AMH squares
Cooking
  • preparing lemons for a batch of lemon and beetroot chutney, I also made some lemon curd.   I still have a lot of lemons to use up.
In my Home
  • Bird Dance is finally hanging on the wall. looking right at home with my  bright cushions and crochet throw.
Reading
  • fiction and non fiction.  I'm thinking that cookbook may need to be added to my collection, some beautiful middle eastern inspired salads in it.
Wishing you all a fabulous week ahead.

**PS:  if you think I'm super productive in the weekends, I'm not really, once a fortnight I have a 4 day weekend, Thursday-Sunday, so I get a lot more done on those days.**

  1. Love your photos, a great record of what you have been doing. Your quilt looks super hanging on the wall. Been admiring your cushions, particularly the circular one. Do you have a pattern for that or can you tell me where to find the pattern? Thank you.

  10. Yummy, lemons. I made a lemon curd last week to go with a ginger cake. Do you have your very own lemon tree/bush (not sure what you call them) ;-)

  11. Julie I still haven't made my lemon curd - you have beaten me to it! The lemon and beetroot chutney sounds delicious do show us a photo of a jar when it's all made. Lovely citrus blossom scent is all around at the moment, I love it, just like the bees.
