The white space on this tablecloth had two issues: It was unbalanced with regard to the border, and it showed every mark!

So I decided to have a play and add some additional colour.  I’m quite pleased with the result.

… I’ve been playing around with screening off the chaos which is our loft space, for when I need to do more formal video calls – the bench meeting this evening, for example.

If I’m to use this idea for real, I’ll have to iron the scarves!!

The top of my sewing drawers was getting cluttered, so I decided to tidy it up.  Which, of course, led to sorting out one of the drawers. 

As is the way with things, this led to sorting out my eaves cupboard…

A real sense of achievement!  And so to actually doing something now that my sewing space is ready for action:

Well, I haven’t made wine, but… I picked most of the grapes I could reach from the kitchen step stool.  Loads still left on the vine.

So, after about an hour taking the grapes off the stalks (you can’t just squash them if you plan to make jelly), I had to go and do some other stuff, so the grapes took over the fridge.

A couple of days later, I continued… The bowl on the left is the one that started out full of grapes.  And, may I say, spiders and earwigs!

So there was lots of rubbish, but a big pot of grapes, to which I added apple and lemon for a better set.  Well, any set, to be honest.

That evening, the cooked mixture was left to drip.

My jelly bag was too small, so that’s part of Phil’s old brewing kit.

After cooking again with an equivalent amount of sugar: many pots of grape jelly.  That should last until the next harvest!

Oh, and there are still a few in the fridge for me to eat.
