An enjoyable way to start the week is to get together with a group of chattering ladies, and share craft ideas. There were ten of us sat round the table this morning, each working on our own creations. It's a really friendly atmosphere, and when it's cold outside, we are snug and warm inside sipping our coffee.
Some people brought items to show, so I took a few snaps. This little handbag is gorgeous. It is soft and padded. The embellishments on the front are hand made.
A first attempt at felting from scratch. A little case made in one piece so no seams. Very clever I thought.
A crochet cover with beads around the edge.
These gloves are actually shades of grey. Don't know why they have come out blue.
And this bag was made from a skirt. A fab piece of re using and re cycling. It's a shoulder bag, the strap is long enough to go across the body.
And now for my lunch. Thank you for all your suggestions of what to make with broccoli. Today it's soup. I used half a packet of prepared broccoli, and four spring onions. Cooked them in water in a small pan, and added a shake of garlic powder, a shake of black pepper, some veg pasta bake sauce mix, a dollop of cream cheese with garlic, sprinkles of grated cheese, a spoon of cream, and two teaspoons of porridge oats. Eaten with two crispbreads, it was lip smackin chuffin lovely.
Dinner tonight was, one chopped onion, and some soya mince, cooked in sesame seed oil, with garlic powder, and wholegrain mustard. When it was ready, I added two eggs and scrambled them, kept stirring to mix it all up. Served on two toasted potato cakes, (reduced 35p for 6). Very tasty and filling.
I've finished the blue denim bag so I'll show that tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by to read. Toodle pip.
