Another Day...Another Bag

We  got a break from the rain yesterday and the slight breeze quickly dried up the ground.  I finally managed to get the lawn cut, I must admit it was hard going.  The edges have still to be done, along with the front lawn but a start has been made.  We woke to more rain this morning so it probably won't be today.  The rain is doing wonders for the herbs and the few crops I have.  I have an abundance of salad greens and onions, which we are eating daily.  I have picked some more mint and hung it up to dry.

The parsley from the garden made a wonderful sauce for the makings of a fish pie, cod, salmon and smoked haddock covered in parsley sauce and then topped with creamed mashed potatoes, yum!

Another two fish pies added to the freezer for those busy days.

We have an abundance of eggs too at the moment so I have pickled a dozen using a Amish recipe I found on the internet.

Another bag has been added to the gift cupboard, I think this has been my favourite so far.  Another bag using Cath Kidston fabric with a red spot lining.

The pattern I use for these bags is in a book that I purchased from The Works, Sweet and Simple Handmade.

Finally, I have embellished a couple of notebooks for a little something for two of my Grandaughters.

Again I used  scraps of Cath Kidston fabric and embellished with some lace, a button, a wooden motif and wooden letter tiles.

As always I do thank you for your visit to this blog and for your uplifting and supportive comments.  Gerard thanks you for your well wishes, he is feeling a lot better today so is going to potter about a little.  A warm welcome to new followers I do hope you enjoy my adventures through life.

See you soon.
