pumpkin galore

i am sick of the sight of pumpkin right this second.. i just spent several hours making a pumpkin pie (its not even that huge, yet it wrecked my sieve...) and now lots of soup. well, the soup is half made, i got too tired and hot to finish making it, but that can wait quite easily til tomorrow.. oh crap, i forgot, i left toasted pumpkin seeds in the off oven.. clever suzi.
ah. hallowe'en.

life is one big draft

i've started so many posts in the last month and then have changed my mind and deleted them- not interesting/spiritual/relevant/exciting/long enough. and either they get deleted or they are "saved as draft" and then i delete them three days later- but thats no way to go through life. life is for living.

this week has been a quiet week, but good, time to relax and spend time with people and God, creating things, writing, drawing, eating, drinking tea- my favourite hot beverage.. speaking of tea, we have some exciting new stuff in the cupboard, k brought home some zanzibar cinnamon tea and tea masala spice and cardamom and whole nutmeg from tanzania- so we're all ready to have really good tea and spiced food... mmm... :)

i had to go the kitchen to remember exactly what it was k had brought back, so obviously that was a good time to make tea, but alas we have no milk.. so its tea with honey and lemon instead..

i've started making a quilt- its going well, except i haven't done anything on it for a week or more.. i have one line of panels to sew together before i start sewing each line together.. its huge though.. :) just researching what size of sheet i'll need to buy to make the bottom layer of it.. a king size flat sheet should do it.. but it'll take a while to get to that stage i think... argh,.. big projects are scary, but fun. next time i make something that size i'll need to really collect good images and t-shirts, but this one will be cool still.. i can feel it in my bones!!

my floor is completely clear for the first time in a long time, which is fairly incredible- i just need to keep it that way- tuesday, its a committee meeting at mine then emma is coming round for dinner and on wednesday we're having a halloween/flat warming- which you are invited to, of course!

hmmm.. tomorrow i think i'm going to go to edinburgh and see my friend jen- i've not seen her in ages.. so hopefully it'll be awesome.

humm, i'd forgotten- i was talking about my week... i saw lots of people. was at loch tay at the weekend, drove to glasgow and back again on the sunday in order to go to church.. that was fun.. :) my week was sponsored by: kendra laura debbie erin kate tanje james pete emma phil mum beth jenni jules stephen eilidh freya gemma gemma ali ... you!

lunchtime!
