Make, do and blend

Some of my eggs and some small pullet eggs from the farm down the road and some spices and vinegar make for yummy pickled treats...


Just a shame I'm not suppose to be eating crisps... Nothing like a pickled egg in a bag of chipped potatoes....


Better buy a BIG bag of crisps... Lol


Mustard seeds soaking in Bombardier beer.... After a night in the drink they be mixed with spices and vinegar and blended....


Mixing....


Blending....


Jarred and waiting a couple of weeks till they can be tasted...


Recipe for any mustard lovers out there...


Tried using these for a crumble... They were okay... But not quite right... Think I might try again with a different method...


Crocheting a dog...


The head is from a pattern online... But the body I have invented...


I'm loving the yarn.... It's king cole riot chunky... 30% wool and 70% acrylic... It teases out really nicely with the use of the wire brush....


I've given him a fluffy tail and fluffy ears....


This fella has sat gathering dust since last year... Needs a clean before he can go on my table at a crochet demonstration I am doing on Tuesday... I had better dig out some yarn and spare hooks in case anyone wants to learn and they keep their hook and yarn.... I might have to charge them for them though... That would be okay ... Wouldn't it?


FB friends will have seen these photos so apologies to you guys....
Better get on and finish the dogs arms...

Take care

Yes it is perfectly acceptable to charge for things that they are keeping - silly sis xxxx

You have been so busy - and learning too! Where did you read about the catacombs? That sounds interesting. Thanks for the tip about the listing - I never thought about mentioning the poet's name, but I'll go and edit the listing now...

Fantastic looking recipe, mustard and beer! Home made is just so much more satifying and rewarding.
I love pickled eggs, I haven't had one in years though!

I have just been reading your post about the poor animals you were looking after, including the rotweiler, and I have to say, you have done marvellously, theres not many would take on that task! Well done you, and thank God for such kind hearted, loving animal lovers like you. Do you know what has happened to the animals? I pray they are taken to a good loving home, the poor little things. xxx
