Spring & March’s Make.

It’s been a busy month at Joleo Towers, some of it good and some of it not so good (another bout of the winter sickness bug anyone? Sheesh.) There have been hundreds of photos taken, but I refrain from posting them because who needs to see billions of pictures of Fitz chomping on pear or broccolli or pasta or peach or yoghurt? Aside from proud grandparents and obsessed parents naturally – look! he has a mouth! look! he puts things in it!

(Although his ability to eat a peach is quite spectacular…)

We did make another simnel cake this year. Instead of moulding eleven balls of marzipan to represent the apostles (minus Judas of course), myself and Mr J, godless people that we are, take the opportunity to mould animals and bottles of wine. We also added a baby in a moses basket, in honour of our Easter guests, who are expecting a baby in the summer.

As for A Make a Month, you can also see that in this picture. Yes, the table cloth is a piece of oilcloth that has been sitting in my stash for almost two years, so even though I technically didn’t make anything, I did unfold it and put it on the table for Fitz to smear with fromage frais. I’m staying within the rules (just), since the aim of the game is stash busting, and this piece is now well and truly busted. February’s make is also almost complete (oh a long sleeved knit just in time for the warm weather), and I have turned my attention to April’s project. You should expect that sometime in June I think…
