MORE pickling !!!! And a fun pic of my little girl...

I did not have as much time  as I would have liked today, but I still managed to fill some more pots and to finish some others

The onions got labels. Anyone with more than my two brain cells would have hit upon label making in Word loooong ago... well, I did so, finally, today.

The cherries were labelled and got little covers (brrrr fiddly)


The bottles had dried and look nice, I think. They are solid acrylic, painted with glasspaint.


And I filled some marmelade jars, chopped orange canes by Angie Scarr, colored scenic water. The color is a bit VERY orange, I am afraid :-) and at least two of the pots are going to burst- bubbles are developing! There will soon a marmelade-bomb exploding in the Kendrew house,I think :-)


and while I was at the computer yesterday a little girl was playing acrobatics next to me:

    I love all these pickles and jars you make. You inspire and tempt me to make some 1:1 pickles but it's the thought of using so much salt that holds me back.
    Your cat is so cute!
    Happy 2012 and a hug

    Thank you all!
    Drora, I don't even dream of RL pickling - either loads of salt/vinegar or loads of sugar. In miniature, it is fun, though!

    Elly, what patience you have! And creativity too, to think of all those details to fill them. The jars look great on the rack. It is so much fun to see the kitty antics too - life will never be boring with her around.
    Hugs,
