I've been really busy in the kitchen lately, making yummy things. A friend of mine had a problem with an avalanche of lemons on her kitchen workbench, so I relieved her of some of her burden and took some of them home ...

So, I've made lemon butter (or curd if you're like me and grew up in the UK), several jars of marmalade, as well as some ginger and lemon cordial. I got really carried away, and made some spiced mixed fruit cordial at the same time. You know how it goes, one massive pot boiling away some sticky sugary syrup, may as well have two on the go ...

Oooops, lost my train of thought now - dad phoned just as I was typing this to ask why I hadn't blogged for so long and we ended up having a really good chat. Great reason for losing one's ideas! Also feeling quite virtuous that I was actually blogging as dad phoned up - maybe there's truth in the telepathy theory?

Anyway, just wanted to say I'm still around, still enjoying making stuff and getting a kick out of seeing the colours I could make with food. All natural and lovely.
You might also be interested to know that I've listed some more stock on my Made-it store - including some art works and a spirit doll. There will be more added very soon. You can visit my store by clicking on the button in the sidebar.
Stay tuned for more random thoughts ...
