Mine only uses nutmeg Tamara. I will type up the recipe a bit later. It is very easy, just a bit of prepping.

Hurrah!

Kedgeree before and after

@vothgirl, I will email you my recipe, lots of cream and butter but very child friendly.
Don’t bother eating it, just stick it straight on your bum, that it where it will end up 😉

I only make it on special occasions.

Sweet potatoes, excellent!

Yum Ladies, I will try those.
What are yams? Like Potatoes?

Janice, I LOVE my girl’s wearing other people’s sewing hand-me-downs. If no one closer claims it, I would love it and I will pay postage/combine with a fabric order from your shop.
Tildy loves Julia, she would be so excited to have it.

Trixie has so many hand sewn and knitted items from all her sewing Aunties. It is very very special.

I am almost out of time to sew
Pj’s for Christmas, doncha know?
A pair of bedtime
Would be completely sublime
So off to the stash I will go.

Merry Christmas to one and to all! (first line)

Christmas day over and I won’t have to cook for another two days at least!

Hang in there, miss N. My grumble is a general one — I wish my space didn’t look like an explosion in a lint factory.

Ooh, that’s a sneaky one — I wouldn’t have thought of that either. Hang in there, ladies, we’re in the home stretch.

Haha, I’m reminding myself that my 5 year old has so little experience of piping that I can always tell her it’s a design choice for it to look like that, much as she claims that some of the notes she plays on violin are “beautiful to me, anyway…”

Happy Holidays, folks!

I’m thinking about starting a new topic here entitled “Stupid things I’ve done while writing/grading/illustrating/formatting oliver + s patterns.” Fortunately, most of them get caught in the process, and if not then, during testing. But there are so many potential pitfalls. You’d all feel like sewing geniuses, comparatively speaking.

Deck the halls with boughs of … how about Stilton, port, and fig jam?

I hear you sewing sister…
Re-cut and sew pockets for a Ice Cream dress, after I attach them realise I cut the pockets from the border fabric and vice versa.

Decide not to underline neck yoke, assure myself it will be firm enough, end up up cutting a jigsawing soft interfacing through the openings to add substance.
