Making chicken feed of my mortgage

muddywhitechicken

Not fixed but hopefully under control... although it's out of my control so I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed...

The weekend has started :j

So this afternoon I need to:

Make lemon curd (apple puree already made)
Make cranberry & white choc chip cookies
Put together 3 hampers for delivery tomorrow and make them look pretty (label jars, jar toppers, ribbon etc)

Alchemilla

Rub the static y thing with a sheet ofctumble freesh/bounce?

And I was just about to go to bed but made the mistake of checking my work e-mail and there's a problem on one of my projects :mad:

I used to check it and see a problem and then it played on my mind, etc. Now I refuse to look at mine once home now. I even turn it over screen face down so I can't be tempted to look

Eggs IN 2
Eggs OUT 6 (5 for lemon curd, 1 for cookies)

I bet your hampers are fab. A fab idea I would pinch if I was remotely creative!

I wouldn't say that I'm particularly creative CathT - my brain is definitely more scientific than arty!

I tend to use jute bags or wicker baskets decorated with "rustic" Christmas decorations, a mixture of red spot/check jam jar lids and fabric toppers for plain lids and coordinating ribbons, labels etc. And when I'm making the preserves I try to use different size/shape jam jars, clip top jars etc.

Here is a photo of some of last year's hampers:



And today's:

Lawks! MWC - if you think you are more 'scientific' than 'creative' brain, I bet you weave magic on a daily basis in your work I remember your last year's pic and thought them pretty ace, but this years? This years has got bells on....... BOOM BOOM! :rotfl: Truly, they are brill, no wonder your recipients look forward in anticipation to receiving them, and donate jars to your cause - Well Done, brilliant!

And well done Mr MWC for saying that you looked a right bobby dazzler in your party outfit. Somehow means more when the fellas (well, the right fellas) compliment us, eh?

Love to the girls - I hope they are having some sunshine to peck and squawk in
