The first SP9 package of the swap

October 25, 2006

Yay! My first pressie has arrived (always a nice moment, receiving something in the post).

One Skein from my wishlist on Amazon, some bamboo circulars, some lovely yarn, some fabric that R. wants to have for his own use, some light green yarn that I have just the project for (when I’ve finished my Noro cardi). A rose scented candle (that I had a good smell of :) ) and some beads to add to me stash of beads and other ‘little bits’ that I periodically look at and they make me smile :D Thank you Secret Pal!

It’s been a really busy time. My grandmother had a mastectomy on the 13th and is recovering well. I’ve been involved in various childminding things - no work on atm, but I like to ‘be involved’ with general happenings on a local level. Nin is 3 on Friday so I’ve been trying to organise a (rather last minute) party and we spent time making decorations for the toddler group’s Halloween party, whilst also trying to remain organised to do something for Samhain in the evening.

My gluten and dairy free bread is slowly getting better:

I’ve started adding some Xanthum gum, which seems to make it springier :)

Only a short blog, as I’m still really rushed off my feet but I will take time to sit and blog at the weekend.

  1. Mmmm…the bread does look nice. I’m still experimenting with various recipes but once I find one that works I use it a lot.
    My thoughts are with you regarding your Grandmother. I hope she’s recovering well from the surgery and will soon gain in strength to face any future treatments. It must be very difficult for you being unable to be with her. xx

  5. Yum to your bread, and double yum to your gift … yes, I too am curious as to how one would manage to recieve such a lovely item unsolicited, what do I need to do?! Be better, maybe!

    I didn’t know you were gulten/dairy free. My daughter is too, so we do all that for parties as well. Hard cutting out both, but in a way, also results in a very healthy diet for all the family … so grateful for it too (honest!).
