Possibly not my greatest success

When I made the juice for the medlar jelly, we didn't have any apples in so I thought I'd just slosh in a bit of bottle pectin when I boiled it up today.
(Medlars do have some pectin, but not much.)
Today, though, I realised I'd finished the pectin when I made chilli jelly the other week and not bought any more. Hrm.
I stuck a bit of citric acid in, and the jars are currently in the fridge in the hopes that that will trigger a change from 'faintly gloopy' to 'very soft set', but I'm not hopeful.
And the first storm of the season has just arrived. With amber wind warnings overnight, I hope that the phone and power stay up! |

Having a clear out

I'm rearranging and tidying my bits of the study, so here's some stuff that's free to a good home provided it can be hand delivered (I'll stick the small stuff in the post, as well, but not the bigger things).
Heart and star shaped brads, also some mini-rivets:
A load of beads, first dibs to Giulia:
Random stuff:
- clear plastic food-grade bags with snowflakes on them
- four tubes of metallic acrylic, almost entirely unused
- five small fake birds
- Jessica fusion base and 2x brilliance top coats
- some googly eyes
- most of a block of modelling clay (this is several years old but it has been in a sealed bag and is still squidgy when you poke it; I've no idea if it's still usable)
- a pack of sequins
- an egg dying kit
Various blank books:
(The pink one is about A4, for scale.)
Also half a dozen poster tubes, big and small.
Probably more in the next few days, when I start looking to see what's inside the boxes currently stacked up on the study sofa.... |
