It has been a fairly busy week. The garden is coming in and I have been busy processing items between making Christmas gifts and cleaning the house. Needless to say the house is not as tidy as I would like, but hopefully that will change next week. I want it spic and span before we leave on our get away. I would hate the neighbour to see it the way it is now (she will be looking after Shania for us).
First off I made those Christmas tree ornaments.
Then I have moved on to making the mittens. I have 2 pairs completed and have almost finished the third pair. Hopefully I will have 4 pairs done by Tuesday (will post a picture when they are done).
I have frozen 15 pint bags of beans, 10 pint bags of tomatoes, and today I made salsa (hopefully another batch will be made early this coming week.
I don't know why I can never get a label on straight.
The last of the beans have been picked and the vines cut down. Oops I notice a little spot on the carpet that will need to be cleaned. Tomorrow perhaps.
Now that the beans are done I can concentrate on the tomatoes and the remaining cucumbers.
I got a bit of a surprise today. I won a draw at one of our cities businesses. I never win so was quite excited to see what my gift was.
I received a tin of loose leaf tea, a candle holder and small tea light as well as a lovely smelling sachet to put in one of my drawers. I may just have to enter more contests, perhaps my luck is changing.
Off to continue on the 6th mitt.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
Good news on your win. I'm slowly clearing the plants from the garden that have finished producing.
ReplyDeleteJackie, I hear you about leaving the house clean when away on vacation. I like coming home to a clean house. The bean and pea vines have been pulled. I ate corn from the garden last night. I think it needs a frost; it wasn't all that sweet. The garden is work but it's very satisfying to eat food that's home grown.
ReplyDeleteGreat win...it's always so much fun to win something.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to make Freezer Jam this coming week...Strawberry and Peach, I think.. a jar at Christmas time will be fun to give.....
Congratulations on winning such a fun and useful prize.
ReplyDeleteHomemade salsa, delicious, worth all the hard work.
