Oh my goodness, what trouble you hav...Hello Julie,<br /><br />Oh my goodness, what trouble you have been in! That saying <br />"Have your cake and eat it too" came to mind. I don't know how there can be that much taste difference. Though it was years before our Son found out about all those "other vegies" I put in Pumpkin soup. The little Ginger kittie has the most endearing face, I just want to cuddle it.<br />Have a lovely day and maybe the next post we will see a cake from the man of the house, complete with him wearing a apron and a big smile for all your readers with some jam around his mouth!<br />Love the crafty goodness you have been painting.<br /><br />Happy days.<br />Bev.Bev Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01779873950474515819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802941287301708633.post-5471804484810750562014-07-29T13:24:42.320+12:002014-07-29T13:24:42.320+12:00Love your revamped wooden shelves and basket.I wou...Love your revamped wooden shelves and basket.I would teach DH how to make Louise cake and he can put strawberry jam in, you don't have to eat it.Of course it has raspberry jam in it.Dear wee kitties, you can almost hear them scampering around being so busy.Dear Julie, you never stop learning:-) Hugs Shirleyshirley flavellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07495983773538280099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802941287301708633.post-30711893108566864992014-07-28T19:36:25.523+12:002014-07-28T19:36:25.523+12:00Wow Julie you learned so much!!!

And your garden is getting colourful, I am so visiting again when the colour is all out. I love the photo of your grand-fur-babies, all in that basket together. As for your two, soooooooo cute, naughty, but soooooooooo cute. Glad you kept them.

I am not that good & can be a bit rough at times - mostly as I like it to look tatty & timeworn & kinda knocked around a bit (bit like me really).

Silly man! Golly that's something my Nan made such a lot...I think we even made it at "manual" back in the day & it always had raspberry jam then too...just saying ; ) What little ratbags, cavorting about in your sewing room. Such mischief makers they are but so endearing. I forgot to do the wax bit when I did my painting...when I see yours it really does look much better. Oh well, next time. I love the big basket. It came up beautifully. I hope you didn't go & open the cottage for the nosey enquirers (or have your nighty on). Pretty pots of loveliness. Ah the scent of hyacinths. Thanks for the sniff.

Your waxed and painted wood looks so nice, I would want to keep all of it!<br />I have learned this week that doing nothing is good for me. I don't have to be 'doing' all the time! I had a big rest for 2 days with the only exertion being a long walk. Hope you get some complete rest and long walks friend.
