Friday 5th June - Ang's squares

 Ang has written all about her square here;

She's called the colourway 'syrup and cream' 

You can see the difference between having a yellow background with a cream stripe (left) and a cream background with a yellow stripe. She sentbme the left hand square.

There was also a little Lyles Golden Syrup recipe book to go with it. There are some delicious looking recipes in it.

(I've taken the images from her blog... for ease of posting. That'swhy theyare both so beautifully in focus!)

I over-watered  my supermarket basil plant and suddenly it went all horribly droopy. So I snipped off all the plausible looking stems, trimmed off the bottom leaves, and put them into a little jar of water. They seem to be much happier! 

It does please me that they are in a little 'mixed herbs' jar.

Here are some yarn cakes;

I went on woolwarehouse just to snip the picture to show what I ment by yarn cakes, but I should really have stayed away... the colours are so tempting! These are lion brand... as they say on TV 'other brands are available '! I did manage to resist... (repeat three times at four hourly intervals NO MORE YARN.... NO MORE YARN.... NO MORE YARN....)

I was thinking that maybe this collaboration could as count as a slow decluttering project, except for every square that goes out of the house, one comes in...
