Friday smile

Good morning all.
Just something that made me smile and hopefully made my five little great nieces and nephews smile when they received it!
Two lovely jars of homemade blackberry and apple jelly (I know the label says jam but I didn't notice till they were stuck on the jars!)

Enjoy the sunshine if you still have some and pop over to Annie's blog - A stitch in time if you want a few more smiles!

Have a great weekend.

Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch?

Just two pics to share....



Firstly, proof that I really did make Apple and Blackberry jam - well jelly really because I strained it so it doesn't have seeds in it.
(Although the recipe said I must NOT squeeze the bag - and I did because I was impatient and wanted to get it finished and in jars! Consequently it's cloudy and not clear, like a real jelly but what the heck - I am not entering it in a WI competition - it won't last long enough.)

I love the tiny jars and I know two little girls who will love to have their own little jar of jam to put on their morning toast.
I also know two big girls who have requested a jar, so I think I need to head off up the blackberry hill again.


And below......


One of M's mounted and framed lighthouse collages.
It's a sweet little picture worked on a piece of vintage cloth using tiny snippets of fabric and lace all free machined in place to add detail.
It is mounted on blue linen and then set in an ivory mount within a satin silver-look 8" frame.



If you click on the pics you can see the detail.
I think she would be happy to sell it if anyone is interested.
