Don't these plums look wonderful? They taste as good as they look.
Then my DH thinks supermarket jam is just the pits and loves me to make 'real' jam with lots of body, so for years I have been regularly making jam - plum, peach, tamarillo, apricot, rosella, and whatever else might be in season. This week it was time to make a couple of batches of sweet orange marmalade. It has to be CHUNKY!
Now that the pantry is stocked, I have had my nose down stitching. There have been two commissionings this week from magazines - one project was already made but the other one will require a lot of work. Then some curtains needed to be made for our daughter in Japan. There'll be a photo after she has opened the parcel, in case she reads this blog!
These little hats popped into a design when I wasn't looking:
They definitely weren't there when I started!
but how could I resist their charms?
You can tell I have been having fun! Now I had better put some housework on the "to do" list for next week!
Happy stitching!

The hats are gorgeous, Val! I was stitching my little "Love never fails" stitchery last night from Craft Retreat, as I watched the tennis. Its finally nearly finished:-)
The little hats are so sweet, Val! Wanted to thank you for the "What is Love?" free designs. I've had a busy month and realized I hadn't printed #8! I just printed it (and had to do it twice as I had the print size set wrong). I don't have time to stitch them right now but that verse is my favorite from the Bible. And interestingly, it was the basis for Pastor Brigit's sermon this morning. Divine reminder don't ya think? :-)
