Missing Annie

Ana and her family all went out to spend the day together

im sure they will all have fun

but

this left me to my own devices

we had a bit of mis- communication

and a senior moment

I went shopping and bought apples on the weekend

then early in the week I thought oh I need to get some apples as you do

and then hubby went shopping and thought oh I better get some apples

as you have probably noticed we ended up with LOTS of apples

I decided to cut some up. Add some frozen rhubarb from the garden and I made jam

it doesn’t look the nicest but I does taste good most of this will be used in those 100 cookie recipe I use

you would be surprised how much it used up

I waited for these to arrive for weeks

finally they did and I finished off the wall hangings

these will be gifts for Christmas however I’ve not decided who will get them

four of these ready to go

I also finished these.

again I’m not sure who will receive them yet

I’ll make those decisions closer to Christmas

you can’t see them but I have added ribbons so they can hang

after all that.

and cooking dinner, chicken, in the slow cooker I’m pretty much done

it’s lovely and sunny today but as usual it’s cold and around 5ish it starts to really cool down

I’ve brought lots of firewood in so that we can ramp it up tonight

then I’ll sit, watch whatever hubby wants and knit.

a perfect end to the week

  1. That sounds cosy. I remember ending up with a lot of ketchup through thinking that way! When I carefully left it off the list I got to the store and thought oh I forgot to put ketchup, you know how that goes.

  2. At least the apples won't go to waste. Just a lot of work.
    Lovely hangings!

    1. It wasn’t really. At least it wasn’t a box full of apples

  3. I do enjoy your embroidery. It's something I have never really done. Just cross stitch.

    1. I can’t cross stitch anymore. No matter how good my glasses are or even using a huge magnifying light. I can’t see
      This is much easier on the eyes.

  4. Any jam with rhubarb is great. Have you tried rhubarb and ginger? Your needlework looks beautiful.
