A tiny gingerbread house that perches on the edge of your mug. I made tiny gingerbread houses that are meant to be perched on the edge of a mug of hot chocolate. I had been thinking about those sugar cubes that hook on the rim of a teacup. Earlier this month, and I was also thinking about 3-D cookies. So a gingerbread house was on my mind. I rolled i...

Archive and categories and search. Links to some favorite sites. About me and all this. Larr; a tiny gingerbread house that perches on the edge of your mug. Tiny gingerbread houses, a few variations. Earlier I made gingerbread houses meant to perch on the edge of a mug. But I wanted to work on a few more things. Second, I added a chimney. I rolled out some gingerbread dough a bit thicker and cut out a square-ish shape, using the house template to get the correct angle. Middot; comments [116]. Dec 22, 200...

The Tangled Yarn: January 2011
http://thetangledyarn.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, 8 January 2011. Megan and the Moon. Which gave me a break from carrying the stone or so that she weighs (now when anyone tells me they've lost a stone, I am extremely impressed. Before Megan, I had no idea how heavy. A stone was). We wrapped her up well in several layers, as well as leg warmers and a Peruvian hat with ear flaps, then attached a fleece blanket around her over the top of the sling. She looked like she was being carried in a royal chariot. Links to this post. My Name Is Beth.

The Tangled Yarn: June 2011
http://thetangledyarn.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, 2 June 2011. A Woman's Work is Never Done. Outside, there are jobs which will never truly be completed. The cardboard amassing in the pole barn must be torn up and layered with the grass cuttings in the compost bin. I am trying to get it done before more boxes are added to the stack, but who am I kidding? Our lawn is a jungle, with long grass more than a foot tall. I almost lost Meggie in the grass today (not really, I just said that for effect). Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Tangled Yarn: Smallholding Plans
http://thetangledyarn.blogspot.com/2011/02/smallholding-plans.html
Friday, 4 February 2011. The sun (shining tantalisingly on the other side of the valley) has not yet returned to our houses. We are planning a cool (but not too cold! The oaks lining the lane are hundreds of years old. Hopefully I'll make time to blog more regularly again (though it does look like I might soon be rather occupied! And I really want to share Meggie's developments too, as well as what I've been doing creatively. Just give me a few extra hours in the day, that's all I ask! Good luck with all...

The Tangled Yarn: Spring
http://thetangledyarn.blogspot.com/2011/04/spring.html
Saturday, 30 April 2011. It's been a very busy spring. We planted about 1700 of the 3000 trees before realising that there was a lot more clearing needed to be done before we could plant the remaining 1300. Also it turns out that the grant only requires that they all be planted by February next year, so we plan on getting them in in the autumn. Nothing like putting off a job, ha! Why do today what you can leave until tomorrow? And all is well :D. 1 May 2011 at 13:38. How cool are you? 1 May 2011 at 15:09.

The Tangled Yarn: September 2012
http://thetangledyarn.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 25 September 2012. Smallholding Update: September 2012. We were forced to plant our winter squashes in the polytunnel this year too, the endless rain and slugs meant that we couldn't risk putting them in outdoor beds. From the Real Seed Company we bought some new (to us) varieties of winter squash - mostly they are looking pretty good, and hopefully the heavy fruits will see us well into the new year, if not February or March. Phil found a nest of eleven. We had a 20 week scan on Monday which me...

The Tangled Yarn: Autumn Harvest
http://thetangledyarn.blogspot.com/2012/11/autumn-harvest.html
Tuesday, 6 November 2012. Look what we've harvested from the polytunnel! A whole wheelbarrow full of giant winter squash, which will hopefully brighten up our meals throughout the darker months. All originating from the Real Seed. Catalogue, there are Anna Swartz Hubbard Squash, Waltham Butternut, Burgess Vine Buttercup, Thelma Sanders Sweet Potato (an acorn-type squash) and one which we can't seem to identify - a mystery squash, if you will.
