I have (finally) completed a couple of hand-sewn projects this week. One is a gift so I can't share it yet, but this hexi piece is a table runner. I just have to cut out the backing for it and sew it in place.
We have a fault with the broadband at the moment, hence not posting as it takes forever to load a photograph. BT are meant to be coming out today or tomorrow to fix it.
However, we had a viewing on Sunday and they loved the house. Everyone does, but no-one's bought it yet . . . We are on a short-list of what sounds like 5 houses. I'm not holding my breath as hope is just too painful . . .
We're going to look at another possible property this week, a period property, although it's further out than we'd like but has a range of excellent outbuildings for storage. Unless we stay in Wales, we can only afford a semi (which this is) or something hopelessly too small.
Meanwhile, I need to carry on trying to find homes for empty suitcases and full boxes as Tam has returned home with all her belongings . . .
Anyway, a couple of recipes for you to try.
CHOCOLATE APPLE CAKE
BLACKBERRY AND APPLE CAKE
Fingers and toes crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I'm feeling hornswoggled today as I seem to have lost a gigantic bin liner of shoes which came back last week. Apparently I should have concentrated sufficiently so I knew exactly where I had put every box and bag and known what was IN them . . . Since I don't even know where my specs or car keys are most days, Tam was having very high hopes of me!
DeleteLovely cakes. They look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Thank you Jackie. They taste pretty good too (esp. that chocolate one!)
DeleteI will do the hoping for you.x
ReplyDeleteBless you my dear.
DeleteI love the colours of your table runner.

Me too - this seems to be my palette at the moment.
DeleteDelicious looking cakes. Saving the recipes to try soon. Wishing you all the best in selling your house.
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy. Happy baking.
DeleteThe cakes look delicious! Do hope one of these viewers will buy your house.
ReplyDeleteI could understand losing out on sales if it was on the edge of a motorway or next to the Dump (think festering nappy stench!) but we are next to a Farm and that apparently is The Utter End . . .
