Bottled the elderberry wine last weekend, had a taste - quite good! Added 1/4 cup of white sugar and
topped up with water to about 1 gallon. Didn't have to adjust the sharpness with the citric acid, as I think elderberries are quite sharp anyway. Added the oak maturation sachet, so wine should be ready in 2-3 weeks. Bottled with my new corking tool, which slightly depresses the cork at the top, making it a bit malformed, but seems to seal ok. Maybe we'll try a bottle on New Years Eve.
In November, I made a willow wall hanging from a kit for my grandmother. First time, and think it turned out ok!
And how about these for homemade Christmas tree decorations? Cute, hey?!
And I don't think I've made a bad effort on the presents either...
But I've saved the best til last! Today, a whole day early (because let's face it, it would have been cruel to box and wrap him!), I received my present from my OH. Mario!!!! 10 weeks old, incredibly playful and bold. The best present ever!!!
