This little quilt for my nephew was finished in May, but it didn&rsquo;t get mailed until June so I decided it counts. Though it took me much longer than I&rsquo;d planned, this quilt was a lot of fun to make and I love the way it came out. The back is a soft cotton flannel in an alphabet print.</p><br/><p>&nbsp;</p><br/><p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.inape...

In response Amy left a comment suggesting I try peanut butter and sprouts because it's really, very good. It took me a while but I can now agree with her wholeheartedly. Peanut butter and sprouts is even better than peanut butter and lettuce. The sprouts have crunch.<br /><br />Even better, I grew the s...

It's sort of halfway between milk and yogurt. It coats the granola but is still runny and has a really nice tangine...

It's full of lovely sounding recipes that don't make huge amounts of food; something I especially appreciate if I'm making something new and don't know for sure I'll like it.

Inside are five jars of my very first jelly. Rhubarb jelly to be exact. I got some rhubarb from Rob's mum on the weekend to make strawberry rhubarb jam and of course I cut too much.
