One of our goodies was a sheet of cork 'fabric' - which resulted in these two using Noodlehead's design.
We also had a go at scissor pouches
And then we wrapped some cotton and leaves up together and boiled them in water with rusty nails for . . . well, the bucket didn't reach boiling point after being on the stove for an hour
This was as a result of having met Caroline Bell at Richmond and Kew - she creates amazing fabrics this way - I'm not so sure ours will be as successful - we'll find out tomorrow!
Whilst in the kitchen on a hot sweaty day watching a bucket full of water, nails and fabric - as if that wasn't hot enough, we decided to do some baking!
This means Jackie baking and me fetching and washing up!!!
Lemon drizzle cake . . .
and the world's strangest shapes muffins (so it turns out you really do need a muffin tin - who knew!)
And finally: my favourites from Sandown Park yesterday
Cork is so much fun. You can also use it raw edge as it doesn't fray.
ReplyDeleteinteresting reading about the cork will check it out at FOQ in august. Pouches look good and would have loved some lemon drizzle, Mum used to make a lovely one
ReplyDeleteFascinated with the scissor keeper will see if I can find a pattern on line. Quilts look good too thanks for sharing
Cork is another item I want to try, but I'm going to wait for it to go down in price a bit - yikes! First, though, I need to try my Kraft Tex - I have a roll of it that I haven't even opened! Did you enjoy working with the cork - would you buy more?
ReplyDeleteBaking doesn't wait for cool days - sometimes you just need to bake a cake. And muffins! YUM!
