This past week has me being a domestic goddess and very little sewing of any sort being done ( apart from helping our next door neighbour's daughter with her Hallowe'en costume)
When friends come to stay you do have to make an extra effort (VBG!!) so the floors were polished and the house all sparkling clean and baking and cooking done well in time-----fruit loaf and shortbread as above for afternoon tea ; carrot and coriander soup,haddock fish pie, and chocolate mousse with the shortbread for dinner. To cap it all on Wednesday the car died in Morrison's supermarket petrol station forecourt and the AA had to be called out, upshot was I needed a new battery-----humph!!
Sunday brings more visitors for lunch, so more of the "Dom Goddess stuff" ;-) menu being Spiced Cream of parsnip soup. Fruity lamb casserole, poached peaches with amaretti biscuits.
Last evening we went to the cinema to see "Mama Mia" what a fun movie. It was a lovely sunny happy time to relax and not have to think !
We actually managed our lunch with a glass of wine in the garden today------goodness the first of November in Scotland---practically unheard of---mind you we were sheltered from the very cool NE breeze!
Hopefully next week will see me threading a needle again. The Fabric covered boxes will progress and it does take time to do the dragonfly wings for the stumpwork box tops---at least that is my excuse ( grin)
