Better stay indoor!

 Hello Friends !

Yesterday, I decided to get rid of all the fabrics I had in my closet and decided to sew dust bags for my bag collection ! Yes, I am a bag addict ! I already got rid of the wool and now the fabric. The small pieces will go in a patchwork and the Laura Ashley one is going to be a bed and pillow cover for the new baby cradle. It will go from father to son! Here is my new bag! One more!

Yesterday, I also baked scones to eat with my lemon curd, scones are good, easy to make and SO good with tea!

Our DIL has a doctor appointment to see if she is going to have a second Caesarian, the baby was small and had problems, but with the vitamins they gave her now it seems to be a big baby like the first one! So they don’t want him to be too big and he may arrive earlier.

The other grandma has arrived and will stay about a month to help her daughter which is reassuring.

The weather is still horrible and we had strong wind last night today we will have more rain and rain!I will continue my sewing 🧵 and I must do some exercise on my treadmill as I am not going out it is so wet and cold at the same time.

I hope you’ll spend a nice day with some sun 🌞 !

Thank you for coming.

Birthday dinner. 🎂

This is our daughter 38 th Birthday dinner tonight!

Hello Friends !

This morning, I got up early to make Lemon curd for my lemon 🍋 individual pies. It takes time to stir and when I finished my son called me on Skype. Maxime 

Has a new toy a little xylophone ( as these days he is always hit the table with his spoon) but he was tired and went to bed, did not sleep well last night, so did the parents!

This is a w’view of one of our weeping willow and some blue sky, but this afternoon it is all grey.

 This is the result of my Lemon curd.

I used it in a crust I have already baked and this afternoon I will put meringue on top.

The Birthday cake 🎂 is in the fridge, the menu will be very simple, what they like best is a « Raclette » it is melting cheese on cooked potatoes with different hams.

This is what we will use to melt the cheese. Each one of us will have some kinds of little pans and we use the wood spoon to get the melted cheese down on the potatoes 🥔 !

Of course as Normands we will drink cider 🍺 !

This is a very simple menu, but we will have fun together and will be warm!
