Do you remember this?

 

Hi guys,

I found this in my crafting stash and it brought back some memories:

Anyone remember this??????? When I was a kid I never had anything this posh. I remember just having a wooden cotton reel from Grandma’s stash with 4 nails in it and it lasted me years. I just made loads of the coils below:

This one has been claimed by the cats has they love them.

I am going to be brave and try to teach Jennifer on how to do these coils.

What did you make with these coils?

I will leave you with some yummy chocolate rock buns Duncan as made.

Quilting

 

Hi guys,

Well I have built up the courage to do some quilting………this is completely new to me. My hubby got me a subscription to the Art of Quilting mag so after receiving 16 issues I thought it was time to have a go…….so with issue 1 I did the below:

I have just released the bottom right corner is the wrong way…….OH NANAS!!!!! It gives it character!!!

So I could not stop there I had to have a go at issue 2:

I still have a lot of practicing to do but I think this will come when I do the last square trusting my luck….LOL!!!!!

So I looked at the next issue and thought this was a bit hard but I have managed to do it and it looks like the picture in the mag…….well after a few pints but I am proud of it……….

So I have done my first 3 squares what do you think??????

Hubby made the below as the recipe says they are slow releasing…………..we have done well this first week for watching what we eat and the personal trainer…….

Fruit flapjacks. I have lost 3lb this week and I have found I have muscles I never knew existed!!!!! I think I will have to try the fourth square tomorrow.

Banana Loaf

Hi guys,

You know what it is like you buy bananas and nobody eats them so they are sat there going a bit brown so I thought I would make a banana loaf instead of wasting food.

So here it is:

Fresh form the oven.
