autumn days...

wow! is it really the middle of september already?
where does the time go?
september is one of my fav months

all the trees are changing, blackberries glisten like jewels
just crying out to be picked
the harvest is being bottled, jammed,
pickled and frozen...

if you are lucky to have had a good summer, that is

i am busy making lavender and lemon jelly from a recipe featured in country living magazine Sept issue

it is very yummy and so easy to make.

i have lovely photos of jars and jars of it...

however, my phone camera has decided not to work

and this blog has become...

picture free!

apart from the lovely picture of some wallpaper i found in an old wardrobe

love the colours and design

here at nellie and eve HQ

i have been busy teaching crochet at a new weekend event

The Big Skill

i had great fun

teaching young children and adults

the joy

of crochet

everyone managed

to

take home

a hand crocheted

flower or rose corsage too!

i will be running various

 courses

in the coming new year

so watch this space for more information

meanwhile...

got to get a new camera

take care

and happy foraging for free food...

apples, blackberries, haws, rose hips, rowen berries

all make great jams, jellies, and pies

yum
