C ........ 'Cause it can!


@Sunday

On my Sunday walk, I spied a contented cat making the most of sun and shadows.

Clothing ….. I dyed a piece of a deconstructed hot pink bodice from a silk 'event' 'frock' with indigo. Here it is hanging out to dry.

I have been to another Shibori course and am gathering ideas to add to the large piece which I dyed earlier this year and hope to make into a quilt. Below are some of the other pieces and a dry section of the original 'skirt'.






@ round: What would 'C' be without an element of Christmas?

In the round, is my Christmas pudding. I mixed it all yesterday after having soaked the fruit for 4 weeks. I will fill the pudding bowls today and boil them.

It is a recipe from the Women's Weekly Cook Book. I've been using the same recipe since 1979. What I like about is breadcrumbs replace flour so it is lump free and mixes beautifully.
I first found the recipe in a friend's copy of the book. After years of keeping my 'eyes peeled', I found the book at Vinnies 'for a song (or a Christmas carol!)'.

Colour-coded cords for the printer and wifi connections


I have to have dots on hand to makes sense of all the connections. Changing printers is a nightmare.



I have lost count but imagine this is the last or second last edition of Scatterdays, which I have enjoyed!

  1. I love your shibori and the colour-coding.
    Your Christmas pudding sounds yummy!
    Only one more Scatterday to go, but it has been fun.

  2. The hand-dyes are very yummy! Beautiful. How clever of you to incorporate Christmas into the challenge this week - very timely! I've enjoyed reading everyone else's responses to Cinzia's challenge. It's been a lot of fun!

  3. Hey Pauline ... I have that recipe book (it came with the DH over 30 years ago). I'll have to check out the pudding page - I only ever use the Pikelet recipe x double or triple qty!!!
    I am still working on my post.. been a busy day.
