strawberry jam
as promised yesterday I made some strawberry jam ... perfect with my crackers! I'm like mr. wallace, I like my crackers! ; )
recipe for the jam? I used this one. it seemed easy and quick to make. I increased the strawberries to 1.5kg (and the boiling time) but kept to 1kg sugar and skipped the butter.
wishing you a sweet day! : ) .p

strawberries
one of the joys of spring for me ... new fresh, juicy and tasty fruits of the season. right now, strawberries!
where I live they are locally produced and the fields are now dotted with tiny bits of delicious red. I have been eating strawberries everyday for the past week and yesterday I got a bag full of them for jam.

disaster
a piece is perfect and neat ... just to come out of the kiln like this! not exactly a disaster but something that happens often when working with porcelain and push the boundaries trying to experiment new things. it doesn't mean the result is not interesting, or at least curious :)

in the name of clouds
quite often this has been the view from my window in late afternoons ... one day while looking at this I remembered something I had forgotten. that clouds have names! isn't that so poetic? you can see their names in the following vintage print I found on an ebay auction a while ago (click on image for detail)
