Here we are, one month of official winter left but today felt like spring.
It was so, so good.
Sun shiny.. warm breeze..
Perfect for building new garden beds!
The old bathtub has been propped for drainage, filled with good ol' dirt and is now the strawberry bed.
Two other tubs (not the bathy kind) were put in alongside.
We have planted some dutch cream potatoes in one and sugar snaps in the smaller one.
We have a plum tree on its way to plant nearby too.
What was once a wasted space is now hopefully going to be an extension to our fruit and veggie haul.
I have visions on baskets and buckets full of fresh foods to fill our bellies and share with friends.
Speaking of filling bellies..
My first bake in the new kitchen (which I'm lurrrving) was of course, cinnamon rolls!
Warming the milk and melting the butter..
Mixing with the dry ingredients..
A spoon is good to get it started, then its all muscle power!
Let the dough rest and rise and do its thing in a warm place..
Then more muscles..
Spread on all that deelish butter, brown sugar and cinnamon..
And rolllll it up!
Cut the log into thin slices, about 1 cm thick..
And bake til lightly golden *drool*
Drizzle, slather, pour, the icing.
You can use regular glaze or maple is awesome too!
Too good not to share, and too good to only have one!
Cup of tea with that?
I have started crochet project to keep myself busy, but that said, everything else has kept me so busy I haven't gotten too far with it.
I wont allow this project to take 10 years!
This is the start of my retro 70's blanket.
I'm copying a picture, not following a pattern, so it's causing me to squint a bit to match the right colours but it's straightforward enough.
The picture I'm following has 64 of this granny squares (some slightly different colour variations) but after the first square was done I decided to halve it as I only want it for a lap blanky for cool nights on the couch.
I'd love to see your creations, in the kitchen, garden, and crafty!
Send through links and I will pop over for a visit :)
