I've been making jam and chutney with things I've grown :) - 18th August

I've got so much growing in my garden currently I thought I'd have a go at making jam and chutney! I don't want anything to go to waste!

I've got lots of blackberries so made blackberry jam..



I can confirm it's good and have swapped the neighbours a jar for a marrow, 6 chicken and 2 duck eggs! Good deal I think!

I've also made rhubarb, ginger and chutney...


And tomorrow's task is to make spicy beetroot and orange chutney!

Guess what everyones getting for Christmas :)

I finally made the kitchen blind! 7th August 2011

Hi Peeps,

I finally got round to making a blind for the kitchen window! I'd managed to get a free material sample from Debenhams and a cheap roller blind kit from eBay! Very MSE :)

Took most of an afternoon and made me throw my toys out of the pram a couple of times but it was worth it....




Just need to make a matching one for the pantry now!
