#168 - Anything Goes

It is Carol's turn to be our host at CD Sunday Plus challenge this time but unfortunately she is feeling poorly at the moment so Pamela has kindly volunteered to stand in. Carol will still be posting her lovely cards on her blog. We all wish Carol a speedy recovery and send her lots of love.  

Here is my card.   

The teddy bear image is from the Meadow Cottage Bears CD with artwork by Christine Haworth from Crafter's Companion. The Pink roses in the corner are a download and die from Tattered Lace. The pink gems were made using Tonic Nuvo Drops.

APPLES 2025

 Autumn in the garden seems to have come early this year. It has meant that we have been busy picking our apples. Unfortunately I had a bit of a mishap two weeks ago, lost my balance and ended up with the garden furniture breaking my fall. This was the bruising down my left side.  Good job I wasn't up a ladder at the time!

Left Breast

Lower Abdomen

Thankfully the bruises are fading now and I've been using Arnica Cream twice a day which has helped.

Anyway it didn't stop the Apple Chutney production for this year.

I also decorated some little gift bags for the jars I am giving to friends. I made the labels using an on-line site called https://www.jamlabelizer.com/browse

This site has a range of different labels and colours, some of which are free to use and print on your home printer. 

As we had more apples left over I decided to make some Apple and Damson Jam which I am quite pleased with. 

We don't have a Damson tree in our little garden but our lovely Greengrocer has them for sale at this time of year. It's a bit fiddly getting the stones out of the fruit but the end result is worth it. 

It's a more grown up version of Jam and not too overly sweet.
