So this is how the room where I should be creating in looks right now.
Yup that’s right I can barely get in through the door. Something will have to be done… later. I finally found the bag in which my purchases from the Vinatge fair lurked.
I do not approve of fox hunting at all, but couldn’t resist the jug with the foxes head for a spout. Nor this one
So cute.
Kathy reminded me of home made pomanders so I just had to make one.
Claire sent me a lovely surprise . Thanks Claire, it’s so pretty.
Was rather pleased with this pie I made last week. Left over roast chicken, bacon, mushrooms and a white wine tarragon sauce topped with puff pastry.
Christmas shopping was finally completed on Saturday and I couldn’t resist this little fellow.
Maybe it’s time for some tidying up now….
Have a good week everyone.

Good luck with the tidying up (one of my least favourite pastimes… can’t beat a leftovers pie in my book 🙂
Love those jugs – what a fabulous find!! And that pie looks to die for!!
a big warm thank you Cathy, for the unbirthday surprise! I think I can see Hetty asleep on your bed in the first photo? getting her strength up before her journey to France, I see
Glad she arrived safe and sound. How is her French? I did try and her name should help her fit in with your chickens. Can’t wait to see your new puppy.
they all speak a bit of both in this house so she’ll be fine ^^
your “create room” looks fabulous!!! I’ve love to dive in and have a good burrow 🙂
No burrowing allowed, I’d be ashamed and I wouldn’t be able to find anything. Wait, I can’t find anything now!!
I’m loving my pomander for sure, and am enjoying one of those sweet ornaments from our mutual friend! The fox pitcher is a keeper!!
Claire is a sweet person for sure. Loving my pomander too, and its an added thought that we all made them one after another.
I think i should make some clove pommanders. They are actually very good when added to warming cider in a slowcooker too.Your pie looks tasty.x
Oh it smelt so good whilst I was making it. I put the clove debris on the fire afterwards and that was good too.
I have a sewing room and a guest room — each one takes a turn being overstuffed with everything I need to work on or need to clear out of the main rooms. When they are both overstuffed, I know I have to clean up instead of craft! 🙂
Terrible when you have to tidy and all you want to do is make more things!!
I seem to remember there being one of those fox head jugs in our house when I was a kid – although ours was more squat. I can’t think why as it doesn’t seem like the sort of thing my Mum would have gone for at all but I do remember pouring the evaporated milk out of it on to my tinned peaches
Lovely memories of a similiar jug. I had a boyfriend whose Mum always gave me tinned peaches and evaporated milk. A Sunday treat in their household!
LOVE the fox hunting jug! And I love seeing more pomanders, as well as all your others preparations!
Thanks Kerry. Such fun at this time of year. Just trying to keep panic at bay now.
