It was a total 24-hour interval yesterday. Everything was accomplished alongside the exception of the 1 assigned housekeeping chore. As I've mentioned before, I cause got my priorities. The kitties were create to help. It's mutual depression temperature exterior these days, as well as therefore they're spending a lot to a greater extent than fourth dimension within lap hugging. Smitty likes sitting betwixt Mike's legs.
Sadie likes to wrap upwards on my lap spell I produce my dull stitching inward the morning. Here, she's showing us that she's genuinely non such a pipsqueak later all. She's could fifty-fifty last considered long when she stretches out to her approximate 12-inch length. This is her Sun worshipper pose. She figures it can't hurt.
H5N1 niggling before than I'd hoped, it was fourth dimension to larn to operate making the Christmas Jam. The recipe calls for fresh cranberries, an orange, to a greater extent than or less "slightly thawed" frozen strawberries, cinnamon, as well as cloves. It was the "slightly thawed" business office that threw me. Mine were slightly thawed before I was genuinely ready, but no fourth dimension similar the present, right? So I had this done yesteryear close 10:00 a.m., which is a rather uncivilized lx minutes for canning. It's pretty though...
And it tastes good. The strawberries sweeten it a niggling bit, as well as the orangish flavor comes through the tartness of the cranberries. It's a jam for people who don't similar their morning time toast likewise sweet. I'll definitely become far again. If y'all cause got a expect at that recipe as well as are thrown yesteryear the "calcium water," only know that it's business office of the procedure when you're using Pomona's Pectin. Pomona's was novel to me this year, as well as I'll acknowledge to existence a niggling worried close anything that uses 1 of the elements establish on the periodic table. I had visions of the pipettes as well as drinking glass flasks that brand upwards my nightmares of high schoolhouse chemical scientific discipline class. Mr. Madison...what a dweeb. But let's only non become there, okay?
So anyway...I establish Pomona's on Amazon.com. It comes alongside a package of pectin as well as a package of calcium. All y'all produce is mix the calcium alongside to a greater extent than or less H2O as well as attain it a shake. You won't demand all of it, as well as therefore the balance tin attain the axe last frozen as well as used again. I'm withal working on the commencement packet, fifty-fifty though I've used the pectin quite a few times during this canning season. And all of that to tell y'all shouldn't last intimidated yesteryear the calcium H2O or the Pomona's. It's all really easy, as well as the directions tell y'all just what to do.
So later that, I did to a greater extent than or less dull stitching as well as and then got to operate on finishing the Chicken Buffet blocks. I kept thinking I'd cause got a intermission "right later I complete alongside this colouring of thread." And as well as then I continued on as well as on as well as on until I had them both finished. So here's the besotted chicken.
Here's his side yesteryear side 24-hour interval remedy.
For the comedic constituent of this post...I attain y'all our Christmas tree.
I'd tell it's a Charlie Brown tree, but actually, I mean value it belongs inward a MD Seuss book. Perhaps y'all mightiness run across this 1 at Cindy Lou Who's house. It looks a niggling less pitiful alongside the lights off.
I'll tell my friend Anne hitting the boom on the caput when she said, "What it lacks inward summit as well as fullness is far exceeded yesteryear its delightful charm as well as whimsy." That's a perfect description, Anne, therefore give cheers you.
Okay, therefore I cause got to a greater extent than or less other busy 24-hour interval ahead. Mt. Laundry awaits downstairs, as well as I volition produce my housekeeping project today. Also, I decided on the spur of the 2nd to elbow grease into town. I mightiness produce to a greater extent than or less grocery shopping spell I'm there, but I'll purpose the parking lot to approximate the wisdom of that decision. If there's fourth dimension for sewing, I'll larn going on the side yesteryear side row for the Shop Hop quilt.
