Double success

[wiseheart]

I've finally finished the dratted textile book. Phew! Making the finger puppets was fun, but the cover was a nightmare. It took me hours to remove the temporary stitches alone! No new picture, as it doesn't look any different from the half-finished stage, save for the blanket stitch framing in pale pink, but if you people want a reminder, you can look up the old pictures here, on Pinterest.

I also made strawberry jam. Again, this isn't a new picture, but honestly, just how different could be the same jam in the same jars? Posted only to make your mouths water. ;))



Besides, this photo was taken before Pinterest would rearrange everything, thus clicking on it will result in a really big picture.

Mum volunteered to cook today, so we had chicken soup and chicken paprikas with pasta and a bit of cucumber, which was yummy. Mum is much better in this traditional stuff than I am. Of course she's deadly tired now, the poor thing. I was a bit... forceful about her lying down a bit, so she's resting at the moment. *g*

This batch turned out particularly well. So well that I'm tempted to make some more.
