In my last post I promised to share details of the knitting exhibition which we found purely by accident in Honiton, Devon. It was at the Thelma Hulbert Gallery which is housed in a lovely Georgian townhouse, the former home and studio of the artist Thelma Hulbert. I was in awe of the knitting skills of everyone who contributed.....
I LOVE this clown!
A picnic.....
Vegetable garden produce.....
Beautiful knitted roses....
A sweet little blue tit.....
Yummy looking cakes....
Cacti galore......
This was a favourite, a bee hive!.....
Baking c*ck up!
As money was a bit tight by the end of last month I tried to eke out the desserts by making a lemon curd sponge using a fatless sponge recipe from an untried recipe. BIG mistake! It was so dry despite following the recipe to the letter but I was determined not to waste it. It contained four eggs after all :/ I opened a small tin of pears, placed them in the bottom of a big dish, sliced up about half the cake and laid that on top. I sloshed brandy over the sponge (it soaked it up nicely!) and emptied a tin of value custard (cold, straight from the tin) on top of that and chilled it. It made 4 good and tasty portions of pudding with a drizzle of cream one day and a dollop of ice cream the next. OH thinks I'm a Domestic Goddess ;)
Today is wonderfully sunny and I've had a wander around the local garden centre this morning. I had enough cash for a pot of tea in the teashop too....lovely.
Enjoy your day wherever you happen to be x
It's amazing what people can knit....and crochet isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI remember my Mother knitting things like the clown years ago. I couldn't knit if I tried but I do love to see the things people make.
Pudding sounds lovely-x-
Mmmm Puddingmmmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteThe knitting is so good, I particularly like the beehive. Well done on salvaging the disaster, I confess to having one in the week, I could do nothing with it, but the birds enjoyed it, xx
ReplyDeleteI may just have to venture down to this exhibition sometime and see what is on show. Thanks for sharing. x
ReplyDeleteAlways a joy to see what stunning yarn creations are about. I loved the bee hive too. Loved what you made with the cake, sounds wonderful.
