When life gives you limes...

Make some lime curd! 

Someone on Olio was rehoming an enourmous box of limes. I asked for 2, not wishing to be greedy. I was gifted 9! I passed a few on to some fellow frugal neighbours and the rest have become 3 jars of delicious lime curd.

I had a bit of a panic about halfway through when a police man knocked my front door asking if we'd witnessed something. We hadn't but I approciate they have to ask around. 

I'm sure i looked really worried and desperate to get rid of him in case my curd caught while i was away. No one wants a lumpy curd! 

I've had to put my current sewing project on pause thanks to injuring my thumb. I've caught my thumb nail on something and somehow torn it about halfway down a lot lower than I could trim it back. The raw edge is catching on everything and any pressure makes my whole thumb throb. I'm not one for making a big fuss about these things but it hurts a lot more than you think it should by looking at it. 

My current crafty project is some unpicking. Easily done with a thin double ended knitting needle so relatively pain free.

The fabric is some sort of unfinished project i found at the scrap store with a beautiful late 70's print.

I think I might have enough fabric to make the girls some dresses for Easter/Spring. Perhaps a pair of pj trousers for Gman to keep things fair.

I will keep you posted of progress.
