Well, I have been very productive these last couple of days!! It may not last so I thought I should blog about it while I could!
Firstly, I ran up a pair of pj's for me. They were improvised and so are not perfect but they will do me!
While I had the sewing machine out I decided to cover our cushions. Both of those projects were made with fabric my mum brought with her. So apart from some cotton and electricity to run the sewing machine, they were free :-)
Also on Sunday I made some simple choc chip cookies.
We went to the shop this morning to get some sugar and now I have also made coffee cake, beetroot chutney (with beetroot from our garden) and bramble jelly (again using produce from our garden) and an additional blackberry and apple crumble - so again apart from the sugar - free!
I also found time to think about new items for the stall, including these bow hair clips (sorry about blurry photo!)
Linking up with KCCO today - click the link to see some more!
Woah! You have been so productive, go you! Those PJ's look amazing, so comfy. Are they a soft cotton?
ReplyDeleteI actually have no idea - my mum has been stashing this whole load of fabric (it all smelt a bit musty!) It feels like a cotton and is very comfy (I wore them last night!)
DeleteGreat PJ's, I could do with making a couple of pairs of those, whenever I sew anything for me I can never seem to get the fit right. Your choc chip cookies look delicious.
ReplyDeleteThank you - I did have to add side sections as I underestimated my waist!
DeleteYour crafting looks great and even better that you could do it without parting with any money. The best kind in my book!
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever. I love beetroot chutney but have never ventured into making preserves. Your PJ's are gorgeous. I really like the colour. Thanks for sharing.

I so wish I could sew, I love your pjs and cushions!!
ReplyDeleteI am envious of your sewing skills. That checkered pattern is terrific. The cushion covers are spring/summer. They scream sunshine, swinging on the rope into the lake, and hiking. Okay... Chocolate chip cookies?! I want some! C is for cookie and cookie is for me. I haven't had beetroot chutney and bramble jam before. They look interesting.
ReplyDeleteGreat projects, you have been busy! I love the striped cushions.
ReplyDeleteCushion covers, yes! Nice stripes. Need to add cushion covers to my list...
ReplyDeleteLove the cookies and the bows are adorable :)
ReplyDeleteI'm rather jealous that you have managed to juggle so many different 'crafts'!!! I get stuck in one and can't leave it!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow lots done and even better that most of it was free. I love the pj's and I love bramble jelly, it's delicious.
ReplyDeleteVery productive! Bramble jelly sounds great :)
