Hello

Thank you for looking at my blog. My latest passion is applique which I have been doing since 2015. I love making things and learning new crafts On this blog you will see some of the things I have been working on. You will also see wonderful items created by other people. When I am not crafting I enjoy being with family and friends, singing and family history. My favourite place in the whole world is anywhere by the sea and I have to get my fix every few weeks. My favourite colour is PURPLE but I love turquoise too!

Gin School

Katie, my sister and I have been back to school. We have been making gin. We had fun mixing our own botanicals and then got to add them to alchol made from whey. We had our very own still and watched it drip through. Mine was 77% proof so had to be watered down to make it legal. It was then just a case of bottling it and leaving it for a week before we drank it.
 
This was one of my best experiences of the year, having fun with my best loved people. We each used a different recipe and I have now tasted them all, delicious. Mine is juniper forward but I won't reveal the recipe here as I might want to make it again.
 
We had three gin and tonics while we were making it so luckily we had a very kind driver who took us to the chunky chip shop after as we were starving.
