Autumn Productivity

I've had very busy morning and i think it has to do with the Autumn Equinox giving off loads of energy and the fact that the Moon is waxing which always makes me want to be creative . So this morning I was creative in the kitchen . I made 24 , 1 pound ,jars of piccallili and 12 , 1pound ,jars of pickles . Not all for us I hasten to add , my darling children will be round on Sunday to see what's on offer :0) .
Then as I still had some yeast left from my bake the other week i made 9 pounds of flour into bread . These bread rolls are destined for a coffee morning in aid of the Macmillan Cancer Nurses at my friend Christian's . We are going to knit squares for comfort blankets .

Fresh loaves in their swanky new breathable bags from Lakeland Ltd .

I've got enough bread to last a few weeks now , and when that's gone we are going to indulge and get a breadmaker .

Now a little bit of Gin progress . I now have the gin in these fantastic jars I got from our local Matalan . They were only £3 each and are perfick as they have a seal on so no evaporation . I have made 4 litres of Sloe and 1 litre of Damson.
This week I have also spun 200grms of fibre into yarn . Plyed another 400grms and I'm half way up a sweater knit in the round for myself .

Hmm I'm quite out of breath now and I'm going to have a sit down and brew.

Equinox , a time for decisions.

Yesterday was the Autumn Equinox , when there is equal day and night . It marks the official end of Summer ( what Summer ) .It is a time of clearing out both mentally and physically . A time to make decisions . Well i have . I have decided that i am definitely not going back to doing loads of shows. These past few weeks have been great . Doing what I please instead of working my butt off during the week and going out every weekend selling. I suppose that at 60 i am appoaching the Autumn of my life and it's time to enjoy it. I won't give up all together but i will be more choosy. Woolfest and Wonderwool Wales are top of my list. As i mentioned in a previous post , i'm going to sell some yarn and other knitty things off my blog . I will see how that goes then go from there. This my little homage to the Autumn Equinox .
