made a date and nut loaf yesterday, for the dual purpose of satisfying our tummies and also, heating up the kitchen. This large old house is always cold in winter.

Flowering quince brought indoors is an annual custom at this time of year. such a pretty flower, and it brightens up the lounge room no end.

 for some time, my mind has been imagaining the possibilities , using the left over scraps of white and creamy fabric stashed away in my fabric box. Randomly placed, piece by piece, cutting up portions and rearranging them in a spontaneous fashion,  machine stitching and seeing what the outcome is.
