do you think maybe...


they want inside?
Well I know for a fact they do...they love cat biscuits & eye up the cat with envy through the kitchen door!

These girls are keeping us in a good supply of eggs still with on average 2 eggs a day wahoo!

We have been 'collecting' or 'harvesting' Autumn supllies over the last 24 hours - walnuts, crap apples, apples & quinces. Looking forward to processing some of these into jellies, snacks, pastes and desserts over the next 48 hours... just need a little more sugar & a big pot!

Crab apple jelly ... my Nana used to make that many, many years ago ... I still remember seeing the mutton cloth and muslin sitting over the big metal bucket in the laundry tub ... haven't thought about that in a while. Nana used to strain them twice ... ooh-la-la --- crab apple jelly and whipped cream on scones ... yummy!!!

blenheim

We are currently in Blenheim. Have been doing some of the wineries - a work trip for Jase - we just get to go along! I'v been playing with some of the phaunt actions by Kylie Banks- my faves are phaunt magic instant & then beastly colour. Got the links from an online class at Scrapbook Outlet with Mandi Haynes. above: Katya on a walk in Waikari with Jases parents. Below - Harold the older giraffe at Orana Park, just before I met Vicki & checked out the stamping up catalogue. Jase & I joined a winery tour today - was a great way to meet some different people & to see & learn a little bit about some of the local wineries. Feel quite isolated without my home internet connection though!

thunderpants inspired

Here it is Karen - inspired by thunderpants! Had fun doodling. Love that I found that quote - fits the pic very aptly! Got my hands on clean & simple the sequel by Cathy Z today - such a good read so far!!! Also got a letter from Pride Publishing - they want one of my A-Z Lo's for publication in issue 44 - so exciting (just wish I live with a bunch of scrappers who understand what this means to me - but then I 'd have to share my stash!). Donna also got a letter - congrats Donna! (her links down to the lower right of my blog) To all those scrap camping - this weekend - hope it's a good one at whichever camp you are at. I'm looking forward to mine next weekend!
