Hexagon Pattern Bedspread

At last, I almost finished patching and joining this biggest bedspread I have ever made, it was given to me by my eldest sister Veron, she sews most of the hexagon pattern. It took almost twenty odd years when I found it stuffed in mum's cupboard and I asked to have it so that I could continue to patch it. Well, from the time I had it until now I actually took another four years to complete the pieces. I told myself I should not procrastinate anymore. I am relief that I had it done and now it is only to put the batting and washes it. I am very happy to have completed it and definitely treasured this legacy given to me by my sister Veron.

Wonderful Siblings

Interesting things my sister Josie like to update me on, what she has done to her house and also her lovely garden. I must thank her for faithfully sending me all the nice pictures even though she is always busy at work. My sister Josie is a very active person with a great and approachable personality, though at times a bit rebellious. I  know she is a compulsive cleaner as she seems to be doing her cleaning and washing  all the time after work and whenever she is free. Thus her house and compound are always spick and span. Well, she really is a wonderful sister to have around and together with Veron and Laurence , my eldest sister and younger brother. Bravo to all of you, love you all.

The Tamarind Tree

The last time I went back to my mother's place , I was in awe of what I saw; the tamarind tree over burdened with fruits. What a sight, with the brownish tamarind pods hanging heavily on the tree. People use to flavoured the dishes they cook with the tamarind pulp and juice, it is sour and sometimes sweet in taste. I like it when you add a little bit of the juice to everyday cooking , some would add it when they cook fish curry and chutney. I guess it has plenty of uses and I look forward to seeing the tamarind tree around for a long time to come.

An Update on Eevonne

From the last posting I did of my neighbour  Eevonne a pretty young lady whose passion is baking, I have received so much more delicious goodies that she has baked. I am proud to say that she has improved a lot more since then, I am going to miss her as she will be leaving to go overseas to take up a culinary course next month.  She is so enthusiastic about this craft that this is another way to improve her technique and confidence,  I wish her all the very best to  pursue her dream in this field. Hopefully she will graduate and come back to start an exciting trend here. By the way Eevonne has got a degree in food science which will come in handy.

Deliciously baked by Eevonne, thank you for the generosity!

Beautiful Floral Print

I am lacking behind updating my blog this month, I have come to the conclusion that whatever comes my way i am going to make the best out of it. So to say, I have been shopping recently and I found out that I really like Floral pants, dresses and scarfs. I really, really admired the Floral print that was sold at the Zara stores here, both for women and men, and I was like going berserk if I see beautiful floral dresses,pants and scarfs. I can't wait to shop at the Primark Stores in London, I bought a few floral dresses from there last year and also from Dorothy Perkin store.
