It has been a lovely day in Auckland today and I have had such a productive day.
Apart from the normal weekend jobs of cleaning our little house I managed to play in the garden and do come baking!!
I planted a heap of sweet pea seeds in punnets this morning and they are now tucked up in my little grow house in a sunny spot on our deck. I am hoping they all sprout and grow into strong plants so I can have a heap of sweet pea flowers to fill my house. My only concern is that I have planted too many seeds, 12 punnets with 6 sections in each punnet, most of the sections have two seeds in them. That is a lot of seedlings!!!
I potted some more daffodils. My Grandfather gave me some of my Pops (his fathers) bulbs a few weeks back. My Pop was a very keen gardener and he had a HUGE vege garden. Bulbs multiply and my grandad makes sure he keeps Pops bulbs separate and gives them to us grandkids who are interested in gardening and own our own houses.
I have planted Pops bulbs in pots so I know exactly which ones are his. When I move they will be able to be taken with us. I can replace other ones I don't dig up and take but can not replace his.
I managed to make a big batch of museli.
I love my homemade museli and have been making it for about a year and a half now. It is the only museli I have never gotten sick of. I am going to add a recipe section to my blog and am going to add this recipe for others to make.
I made some banana bread for some friends who are about to arrive for afternoon tea. I love banana bread and because I have been really watching what I am eating I am looking forward to having something delish!!
I have a chicken mixture in the crock pot ready to make cajun chicken wraps tonight for dinner and a piece of corned silverside out thawing out to be put in the crock pot in the morning.
Last night I put the finishing touches on a zip purse I made. I stole this idea (is that allowed?) from a website or blog I read during the week. I thought it was sooooooo cute and wanted to see how it looked if I made it. I am so pleased with it. There was a dog one as well. I am going to make the dog one also then change the pattern around slightly to make them my own.
Very productive day!!
Better go my friend and her wee family are going to be here any second. When they leave I am hoping to get out for a walk with hubby then do a bit of school work and maybe even a spot of sewing tonight. Will have to see how I get on.
