White Oil as the roses are covered with aphids.
Chai Mix from Pea Soup.
Lemon Curd from a recipe in The Real Food Companion by Matthew Evans. My sister bought it for me - she found it for a good price here. This is a great book, wonderful recipes and fantastic information. If you loved Gourmet Farmer you will love this book.
Soap - made using this recipe and vanilla. I am thinking of making some honey and cinnamon soap next. Do you make soap? Do you have a favourite recipe?
A Hopscotch skirt. I cut the size 6 which is the right length for the girls, but too big everywhere else. I didn't make any buttonholes, just sewed the buttons on through both pieces. Grace chose 5 different buttons and the contrast pocket fabric. I think next time I might use the pockets from the Jump Rope Dress - I think it would be very cute on this skirt.

LOVE the skirt! I'll have to check Bella's waist before I cut out, she's got a tiny waist but needs a 6 length. The denim with coloured pockets is great.
Wow Kate! You sure had a productive day! Skirt is gorgeous! And is that your first batch of soup? Any good, thinking Xmas presents xox
Love skirts with pockets, super cute!! Love Posie
I have lots of "doing" to do in my sewing room. It is a total mess and I haven't been in there in 2 weeks. My garden, however is looking good. Just can't do it all
The skirt is cute and you inspire me to get busy today and see what I can accomplish. I've never tried making soap. It looks like it might be fun. Neat cookbook!
Love that skirt! Still wishing I had a little girl to sew for (can't make the boys wear skirts, now can I!).
The Nicey Jane pockets make a great contrast - and I think your daughter did a great job in choosing the buttons. :)
That soap recipe sounded scary I'd love to try it but I might wait till I don't have a baby that climbs on the benches. The skirt looks great it's so special that you let the girls be involved in the creative proses.
