Marmalade and Wool

It's this time of year I think Ooh heck I've got to get a hustle on if my very own marmalade is going to be made, as January is the month for Seville Oranges and they'll soon be out of season.

It also reminds me that my sister in law, came to visit, all the way from Texas around this time of year as I melted my just done beautifully manicured nails, which we had done as a treat, during a marmalade making session. 

The oranges are far from being flawless, and tend to look gnarly and rough.  BUT.... what a taste they make!

 

Here is a peep at the finished item for the 'cozy' swap. 

 

However, when they were made I received an email to say that there were no other UK entrants, therefore I would be unable to take part.

 

I was so, so, so disappointed.

 

At the moment I'm pondering if I will find a new home for them, or if they'll just have to stay here with me in the shed.
