Finish For The Weekend

Forints Mayıs 22, 2022

I have had a busy few days with a lot of finishes in the kitchen. I have finally made a start on making jams, chutneys and flavoured oils to add to gifts for Christmas, but I will share all this in another post. Today I am once again joining Jill over at Emerald Cottage for the weekly get together highlighting your finish for the weekend. This week Gerard and I have finished painting the back of our cottage and we have also finished the fireplace. I have just waxed the wood fire surround so it is looking good.

Each little job accomplished making it feel more and more ours. It is such a lovely feeling to see something finished.

Whilst I have been working on Christmas gifts and cards, early due to our planned travels I was surprised on our trip to Stornoway to see so much Christmas goodies out on display in the supermarkets. Despite my love of all things Christmas, I do feel that is a little too early for me. How do you feel about it?

My finish for the weekend this week is Christmas cards, twenty to be exact. I did have so much fun playing around with fabrics and papers.

It was a joy matching the colours of some of the beautiful tweed samples that Christina of a colourful life blog generously posted to me.

I love the reflection of the cards in the tin.

We have had some wonderful visitors in the croft behind the outbuilding, giving us hours of pleasure watching their antics. They are certainly a distraction and a joy.
