Christmas presents: belated update

Well, yet again I failed to make that scrap of pineapple-patterned silk into something useful for Mike and Charlotte. I stuffed the star-shaped pincushion that's been hanging around for ages, but didn't give it to anybody. And, of the four items of jewellery I made, only one actually got given to somebody.

I did, however, make:

- an oven glove, for my mother;
- a necklace, for my cousin;
- several bags of vanilla fudge (my speciality) and pierniczki for friends -

and distributed three jars of pumpkin and runner bean chutney (made in October, maturing for a couple of months) between the various parents -

- which I think amply fills the 2010 quota. Onwards and upwards!
