Just look to the other side.

I open the doors to my building in a vain attempt to greet the day with bright-eyed optimism. Instead, the morning had other plans and I was slapped in the face with rain, snow and the sudden urge to crawl back into bed.

A couple more corners to go round yet!

The Market of Optimism visited Dumfries in March 2010, to bring a little gladness to our downtrodden state, as we waited for wearisome elections, gloom and cuts. Here are happier folk enjoying the Spice of Life stall.

Brought to Dumfries by dgArts and fantastically enacted by Mischief le Bas.

Berry drink

gelatin.

Cherry juice

gelatin.

1 envelope Knox Gelatine

2 to 4 tablespoons sugar *(optional)

2 cups fruit juice, heated to boiling

OR Tea

In a medium bowl, mix Knox unflavored Gelatine with sugar*; add hot juice and stir until gelatine is completely dissolved. Pour into a two-cup bowl, mold or individual dessert dishes; chill until firm. Makes four servings.

When adding fruit (up to 1 1/2 cups), first chill the mixture until the consistency of egg whites. Fold in fruit and pour into 3 cup bowl. Chill until firm.

Despite the mist, the buffet at Oxenhope put chairs outside.

I made this quilt from the Cotton Blossoms collection from Moda. Pattern available soon!

It's dark, yet he smiles! :)

This is an entry image for the MΔSTЭЯMIИĐS group’s theme: winter into spring. The icicles are by Illlyn, the inside is from a Desidelia pic and the rest is clip art.

Whenever I buy flowers at the markets it's because I rather self-consciously want to be the type of person who buys flowers from the markets. I take them home and trim them and re-arrange them and then never remember to change the water, so they die quickly and shed and I leave them on my shelf for far too long. Still. I've already changed the water for these beautiful, silky, cheap ranunculus, so we'll see how we go.
