This week there was a request for baby boy blankets by MKBabybasics, so we spent the afternoon making squares and then Hillery took them home and joined them all up into a crib blanket.
A satisfying afternoon, speed was of the essence so we kept them simple.
We did some Christmas cooking, for a couple of weeks.
the first week we made the following:
Blanched and roasted almonds
Large Medjool dates stuffed with marzipan and/or roasted almonds
Peanut butter cups
and basically coated some or all of the above in chocolate
the following week where I forgot to take photos, we learnt how to make cheese thins, and that we could freeze them before baking and cook from frozen, adding sesame/poppy seeds along the way, very tasty.
We also discussed how to make cranberry gin, and a couple of us made it.
and then took it a step further and made hampers adding to the items I learnt to make....
We all made come of these hexagons. Having chosen a colour pallet, we beavered away making the hexies, and then a few ladies joined them all together using the jpin as you go method.
A lovely project that has been gone to a good home, and the money raised went to charity,
