New curtains, crab apple jelly and an award!

Yesterday I picked the crab apples from our tree and I'm about to boil up the strained juice and make the jelly. It's so easy to make, all you do is boil up the apples in water, strain and then mix lemon juice (I'm going to use grapefruit juice) and 7 parts sugar to 10 parts juice, boil for 10 mins or so et voila! I'm going to put it in some tiny pesto jars I've been saving up and give it away this Christmas. I'll take some pictures later in the week. I'm making a very small batch just to try it out.


I won some vintage Laura Ashley curtains on ebay today for very cheap (above). We need some new curtains for our dining room. The ones we currently have were left by the previous owner and it looks like their cats used to enjoy climbing up and down them! They were obviously nice quality in their day but I'd say they are a little too 'vintage' even for my taste! :-)

Anyway, back to Top Gear (my fav show!) - love that Dodge Challenger!


Oh, before I forget thank you Toria at Unfinished business for giving me this award!

I will pass it on to 8 others later in the week! Hope you all had a lovely weekend! x
