jamming and hanging

I spent Friday afternoon making jam. This wasn't with the berries I bought and cleaned this week but with the last of last year's berries dug out of the freezer.

Here's the strawberry jam in its jars:

The rasberry jam not yet lidded. (Is "lidded" a word??)

And the best bit about jam making - other than the supply of jam, of course - is the skimmings. These are the raspberry skimmings. They're yummmmmmmmmmy. :o)

I've also spent some time planning a hanging for - yikes! - Christmas.

Here's the pile of fabrics I chose to go with.

More of that as it progresses. :o)
