By the time a lime hits Nova Scotia it is pretty much dried out and fed up and not much good for anything.
I found a terrific super easy recipe that looks like it is going to be a winner. I didn't use the urad dhal (black lentils) or the asafoetida (stinky gummy stuff and who would miss 1/4 tsp?), but I did use the methi seeds once I found out that meant fennegreek which is easy to find in health food stores.
If I get motivated I might make a mango, papaya, ginger, lime chutney today. I might want to be opening a jar of that during the next snow storm.
My FabricMart box also arrived!
Very happy with the contents which included some weird print that I used to make a muslin of some very promising pants yesterday (more on that later, I made a break through), some lilac poplin that is also very muslin worthy and this stuff.
Only one piece of the Mystery Bundle has to go because I really do not do these colours at all. It's a rayon knit, 3 yards, and if it has your name on it, email me directly through the link under my profile and I will mail it off to you.
Here it is:
This is what else was in that box:

I ordered another 1.5 yard of this because that is what I already have at home and I think now I see it this should be a dress not a top. Great hand. |
 |
Two yards in the Mystery Bundle of what I have convinced myself is silk chiffon. Perfect for something I haven't thought of yet. |
 |
Two of the ponte knits. The red I will definitely wear. I like the purple but have to get my head around it. Will I look like a tall grape? But good winter stock. If I ever leave Florida. |
 |
The reason why a Mystery Bundle can be seductive. Two yards of wool jersey. |
 |
Bright (obviously) rayon challis. Dress fabric. |
 |
Most people who stalk Fabricmart have bought this. Me too. |
Now back to beach walking, chutney making and pants sewing.

Enjoy your treasures!
Oh yes it has my name on it. But seriously, I can't put another cut of fabric into my stash. I've now filled all the shelves and am stacking it in boxes. I must pass and allow someone else the pleasure.
ooo, I like all of your new fabrics. Your rayon knit is not my color either, but it sure is cute.
Enjoy Florida! Those limes sound appetizing.
Lovely - not sure if they're my colors or not, I usually just buy what I like.
Enjoy your time in Florida! I'll be there in a few weeks and can't wait.
The fabric arrived today! It's beautiful! Thanks.
