Saturday

today I had a nice easy day where lots of crochet was done, and a cake (and 2 lasagnas) were made.  I just finished the purple poncho for my Etsy shop, except I need to go buy a big button for the collar so I can’t take a photo yet.  I hope someone buys it!

The cake is a chocolate and almond dacquois, it’s for dessert after lunch tomorrow.  And isn’t this orchid doing well- this is the one I repotted myself (you green thumb you- ha ha!)

My other orchid (the one that lives in our ensuite) has sprouted new roots and leaves, but unfortunately no flower stalk shoot (I’m sure there’s a proper name for that).  When I bought the second one I remember explaining to the orchids quite clearly that they were to alternate their flowering, and if that’s going to happen this time around the ensuite one is running behind schedule.  They’ve always behaved properly in the past though so all might be good- I’ll just have to wait and see.
