11am........
I'm so glad you popped in, I'll put the kettle on and you grab yourself a chair - a good a time as any to stop for a brew. Enjoy...

Today's heart is.....


... a little origami sweetheart ring.



Made during a quick tea break.

I am s'posed to be upstairs either painting or hanging pictures or something suitably industrious, but instead I stopped to stoke the fire, boil the kettle and talk to the cat.  And whilst having my brew, I thought that today's heart needed to be done - hence the above.  Anyone who knows me, knows I love wearing rings. Most of my career choices has meant I haven't really been able to wear them during the working day so at any possible opportunity - I put them on. 
And if you want to try making this one - follow this link, the piece of paper needs to be 7.5cm /3 inch square.

***********************

The latest update on my 52 things not cooked before -
14. Cauliflower and caramelized onion tart - delicious hot even better cold the next day
13. Peanut Butter and Fruit Loaf - Strangely more-ish and probably very fattening - but hey who cares -  pass me another slice!
12. Wholewheat Apple muffins - eaten before they had a chance to fully cool

11. Potato and Tomato Curry - accidental success, but not made again
10. Tomato and Onion Sauce - keep making this one, ideal at the end of the week when the cupboard is bare
9.   Fruit Mincemeat Loaf - made this a couple of times
8.   Apple and Ginger Cake - only once, but will do again
7.   Barrovian Love Cake - only once - too 'eggy' and rich for me
6.   Yummy Biscuits - erm - not really
5.   Sticky Date Cake - feel the calories piling on now
4.   Fish Cakes - only once but will probably do again
3.   Masala Chai - no, nope, never, net, niks nie and in case you misheard - I'd rather floss the cat's teeth.
2.   Falafel - yum, had several times, will keep doing from now on
1.   McLoaf - a regular (no pun intended)

So - there.  

I have noticed that there is a patten occurring - oops, better either start trying less calorifically loaded recipes or take up a subscription to the local gym...............................

Decisions, decisions.

  1. I was quickly scanning my reader to see if anything grabbed my attention. I saw a picture of the sweetest little heart ring, and I thought, "Hawthorn needs to see this!" haha. Obviously it turned out to be yours, and it is so cool.

  5. Found my way over here after reading Jan's post about her prize on http://wwwbobbypinsboardwalk.blogspot.com/ (lucky her ;-)) and am THRILLED to find you are blogging from this side of the Atlantic! This little ring is just the cutest thing! And I just had my own origami heart craze the other day...
    As a photographer I absolutely love your idea of taking a pic of a heart a day... great concept! And now I am going to browse through the rest of your blog.
    Greetings from your neighbouring isle!!!

  7. Sonja - thank you for your cheery comments - it's lovely meeting new blogsters x

    Colouritgreen - we love the falafel, so much more flavour than the bought ones. The recipe I use is from a Mediterranean cookbook which is very well thumbed with lots and lots of spatter marks - a good sign me thinks x
