Spiced black pomegranate melt, with ginger and lemon tea for me today…
Well It has been a while since I wrote, so thought I would update you on what I have been up to, and sadly not much of it has been sewing, I did make a little bottle bag for a friends retirement Pineau but other than that my hands have been very busy painting and laying our new floor in our lounge… As that is now nearly finished, still needs skirting boards and a rug, but yesterday I started back in my sewing room, my first task is to tackle frills! Oh my so many frills, I was asked back in July if I would make an apron, and the only stipulation was it had to be like Julia Childs, well I think I have mentioned this in a past post, well yesterday I made a start on a mock up one to see how it was going to work out for me! Having never done frills before it started out as fun, I love a new challenge as you know and then as the frills got more and more and longer and longer and that is just the pockets and skirt I still have the shoulders to do yet, but it is something different and I am enjoying the process, I think this is more Julie than Julia Childs… what am I talking about you are probably saying well there is a film called Julie and Julia, excellent film and it really made me want to be able to cook like Julia, but oh my her recipes are very complicated and time consuming, I was very grateful when her family produced a more modern version of the original cook book, I would recommend the film, if you ever see it on Netflix, Disney or Dodgy box.
I will keep you posted as the apron progresses.
So it getting near to that time of the year when I for one get excited, when we exchange gifts, and I was thinking, that if you are unsure what to buy a family or friend, why don’t you write to me and tell me a bit about them, their favourite colour or if they have any hobbies, and an amount of money you would like to spend on them and I will suggest something that I could make for them…
I have added a photo of the room I have been painting… of course Moriarty had to be in on the picture.
It’s another beautiful day today here in the south west of France, I hope wherever you are you find something to smile about…
No sewing or not, you have been busy!
