WOYWW....

Another week has passed and here we are again exposing our crafting spaces to the world. Thanks to Julia a weekly snoop at other desks/spaces has become an essential part of my week. What a fab group of bloggers I visit every week too. The crafts are varied and even though I'm not much of a paper crafter I really do appreciate the wonderful cards you girls make and am in awe of the amazing equipment some of you have and use regularly to such great effect. I get excited each week when I see a sewing machine out or fabrics in use and even more excited at the huge number of you that regularly visit my blog and leave me such lovely comments. It really makes my week and for that I would like to thank you all.




This week I can show you the gorgeous wedding dress I steamed last week. This one was a fairly simple/classic design but looked really lovely on it's wearer :-)








On my to do rail is a jacket that needs a new zip....nothing new there I hear you say....but this one was left for me to do by my latest new customer [number 1012!!] who has come from the United Arab Emirates!! Wahoooooo I'm conquering the world slowly girls :-) You can fly in from anywhere now just to bring me your sewing :-)









Right girls I'm keeping it short this week. Please pop over to Julia's blog and link your blog on Mr Linky to join in the WOYWW fun. Be warned though cos it's really addictive.

Just as a little extra....I was asked for the recipe I use for beetroot chutney. If you like beetroot it's well worth a go cos the result is really yummy.

Ingredients:

• 3 Ibs beetroot
• 1 large onion
  
• 1 large cooking apple
• 12ozs sugar
• Level tspn salt
• 1 pint pickling vinegar

The amounts of vegetables aren't crucial really and I often add more onion, apples or even courgettes to the mixture.

Method:

1. Cook beetroot, peel and dice into small pieces
2. Peel and dice onions
3. Peel and dice apple
4. Put into large pan and add sugar, salt and vinegar.
5. Bring to the boil and simmer until ingredients are soft.
6. Fill jars and label.

Tasty on meat sandwiches or added to salads.
