Busy day
Decided I should blog some photos, seeing as how I’ve not put anything up on here in ages.
Best thing about today was the shirt. I’ve been meaning to make RJ a little shirt out of one of James’ old ones, so I borrowed a pattern from Nikki and set to. The shirt lay in several pieces for over a week until I finally gave myself a kick up the butt, put the book down and found the sewing machine.
And this is what it looks like:
My sewing machine is ace - it does buttonholes automatically! Lots of fun, and RJ loved his shirt. Might dig through the charity bag before taking it to Cancer Research and see what else I can find to chop up to make into kids’ clothes.
And a snap from a few days ago - went and dug up the last of the spuds from the lottie and had bangers and mash. Except it was mash with a difference. The kids were a little surprised to see me chopping up these.
And once they’d boiled and been mashed, this is what they looked like. 
Next time I’ll just use either Highland Burgundy (the red ones) or Shetland Black, for red or purple mash. In the pan there are about 6 Burgundy, 2 Black and three regular white spuds, so we got a bizarre lilac mash. Excellent flavour though. Shall blog red and purple roasties next week…
The shirt is gorgeous - clever girl!!! And the mash looks very interesting - only time I’ve ever had pink potato is with ketchup in

It looks great - well done! I really must make an effort here to. I tried to make a shirt for Heddy (Ted’s doll) but had to unpick it *sigh*
Nin likes the pink mash!
