Sew and sew!!!!!
Yesterday the Labradors and I went unexpectedly to Aunty Cathy’s. They behaved so well, much better than last time. Peri played in the watering system. They didn’t cry and sook at the window and they had a good walk too. At the end they both escaped inside for a quick run. It wore them out. I am tired as I have done something for 3 days in a row: visited on Sunday, egg rolling on Monday and then visiting again yesterday. Cathy is making a beautiful embroidered quilt, and it inspired me to come home and finish the quilting on my Christmas quilt. All I have to do now is back it and bind the edges!! I might do a tiny bit of quilting or buttons or something in the squares of the lattices where they intersect, but it is almost finished!!! I have some cushions to make for Karen’s school now. I have a shark, two surfboards and something else I can’t remember. Then I think I will make my dog couch cover. You can see it here:

I am going to use a teal green plain slip cover underneath and then piece all my dog material together. I might have enough to make two. I also want to make a green quilt with all of the bazillion kinds of green material I have collected. This can go over all my doona covers and then I can edge plain curtains to match the quilt. As my doona covers are myriad green colours it is impossible to match green curtains to them all. I also want to do some knitting. I am feeling tired now though and I think I will have a nap soon…..
I shall have to venture out later on as I have run out of eggs and I want to make corn fritters for my tea.
Coconut Caramel Logs
200 g chopped Jersey Caramels
100 g butter
½ cup toasted nuts, chopped
1/4 cup glace cherries, chopped
½ cup toasted coconut
Melt butter and caramels. Stir till melted then add nuts and cherries. Refrigerate. When cold, roll into log shapes – 8 cm ( about 3 inches) and roll in coconut. Cut diagonally in half and keep in the fridge!!! Makes about 24. You can add whatever ingredients you like, eg apricots and almonds, or macadamias and chocolate!!!
