Clearing the decks

The tree and decorations packed away, cards down, leftovers finished, fridge cleared, all that remained was a bowl of lemons and limes, what to do with them?  Most things I thought of was either a pudding or booze, both of which I am trying to cut back on.

Marmalade! I have never tried making this and they were just asking to be made into something, so why not marmalade.  Its quite labour intensive, the peeling, squeezing and chopping took just over an hour, but once the cooking part started it sort of looked after itself.  It tastes wonderful and I'm so pleased I made the effort.

I finished my seamless yoked cardigan

and started another cardigan - a simple V necked cardigan, I'm using Sirdar Denim Tweed acrylic/cotton/wool mix, even found some buttons that match.

Whilst putting the last of the bread out for the birds this morning I spied this little peak of spring.........

Have a good weekend, I hope the weather is kind to you.  We have no plans that I know of, a blank plalette to work with
