Ive been making jam too, perhaps carrot might come next.

A misty morning, sun breaking through and a pot of steaming water, fluffy cream wool....<br /><br />I just took my scone recipe, cut the sugar a bit (I'd cut it more next time) and added a couple of handfuls of cheddar. I pressed it out and sprinkled fresh chives then folded the dough a couple of times (did that twice.) It changed the lift of the dough resulting in puffs. <br /><br />I only have the sweater to finish. I think she will be excited! I am! I want to switch to most giving homemade presents. Butterfly will get a furniture set for their dollhouse and a doll too, but most of her presents are homemade.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10696666204830309673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770010094224414437.post-33919755393936752882011-09-17T10:44:43.432-07:002011-09-17T10:44:43.432-07:00I have never washed wool before and find that task...I have never washed wool before and find that task to be extremely intimidating. Good luck on finding the technique that works best for you.<br /><br />Oh you made savory scones! I was just thinking today that a nice cheddar scone would be good. Do you have a recipe you can share? <br /><br />All of your gifts for Butterfly are wonderful! She is going to be so happy.
