Well I haven't done much stitching. I did finish a summer top ( no emb) , just a cool one for hot days....

Cherry marmalade?! I've not had that, it sounds delicious!

It does feel good at the end of the day to have accomplished something, whether it is embroidery, canning, or just cleaning the house, doesn't it? I feel like that when I mop. No one else maybe sees a difference, but I know and it makes me feel good. I would like to have a taste of your marmalade and jam. I too have been canning. I put up 27 quarts of purple hull peas last week, only 2 qts of speckled butterbeans, 5 qts of okra and 9 qts of brown figs. (my grandson that just got married, just left with a jar of figs. They were still on my table, since I canned them yesterday. He said they still had some stawberry figs, but they didn't have any brown ones left. He said his wife had made the fig cake recipe that I gave her and used their figs, but the cake was good. If that was a hint it worked.-lol- Enjoy the 'fruits' of your labor-Toogie

HMM!Sounds good. I'll bring the tea,and bread.

You certainly have been a busy bee!! You have done a lot and it is always so nice when the jars stands there and they look so pretty and colourful! Enjoy.

Wonderful! You should be so proud of your work! I love cherries and raspberry! Yummy!

Nadyne, You have been a very busy lady, and it sound so delish/Lillian

Wonderful, I always feel good about canning or freezing our foods, they taste so good in the winter months. :-)

Yummy! I think the jams make up for the lack of stitching.

Me too!

You are very busy, I like it too to make jam from all my fruits in the garden. This way I know, that are only good fruits and not to much sugar in the jam. Actually I try a new receipt, greenapples with green pepper.
