This week I bought a second pack of Seville orange to make more marmalade. So today I started again squeezing the oranges and cutting the skins etc. Because I am not used to work in imperial measures, I made a mistake when measuring the pints of water and added to much. That meant that I didn't have enough sugar for the quantity of liquid I had but managed to find almost what I needed and I ended up with about 15 pots this time. We'll surely have enough for a little while. Today I also finished another 4 pot covers (that was before I knew I'd have another 15 pots...) and took a picture in daylight. So much nicer colors. From here to there Tonight I'll work on my snowmen again I think. See you soon. Celine

The curtains are not finished yet although I am still hoping they will be tonight before my working week starts again. I got delayed because yesterday Mum and I spent a fair amount of time cutting tiny little bits of orange skins to make our marmalade. The marmalade is done and it is very tasty, we tried this morning at breakfast before Mum left to go back home. Last year we made a batch as well and managed to forget about it while it was boiling so it got burnt and is disgusting. So annoying after spending hours preparing... Anyway, this has given me an idea for Jenny of Elefantz' challenge of making something out of a tea towel. I'll see if I have time before the end of the week to do it and post a picture. See you soon with hopefully pictures of my finished curtains. Celine
