T stands for Tuesday and a Nature Journal spread. for AJJ

Its Tuesday

 so that means its the get together  over at

Bleubeard and Elizabeths

 for a cuppa and a natter.

So fresh from the oven here is the result of  a quick batch of cheese scones

I couldn't resist putting the kettle straight on,  to eat one while it was still warm

Yummy............

when  oozing with butter.

Linda asked for the recipe I used

 for all my scone a while ago., It is quite basic and uses the rubbing in fat to flour method.

Scones

8oz Self Raising Flour

2oz Butter

Pinch salt.

For cheese--add 2-3 oz grated cheese leaving a little to sprinkle on the top before cooking.

For fruit---add 2-3 oz of any dried fruit you have to hand

[just like I did with the cranberry and ginger I made a few weeks ago.]

All the ingredients are mixed together with water to form a soft  dough that can be easily rolled out

Cut the shapes, into a hot oven  for 10-15 minutes and they are done.

I always knock the bottom like you would bread to see if the sound hollow

It works for me.

I am still trying to use up some bits and pieces of papers torn from last months gardening magazines.
and have made another hybrid journal spread to share with the folk at

Art Journal Journey,

 where Gill's  theme for this month is Natures Wonders.

The pile of pieces included the leaf that, has finally found a home.
The Try it on Tuesday's current challenge theme is also about using up scraps. So if any of you girls call in I am trying my best to use my stack.

The article I took the pictures  from,  was about this amazing artist Emma Stothard. who creates  fantastic wildlife, woven willow  sculptures.
On the left is my page, before it was digitally altered.





My last picture is part of a photo, taken in a shop that was crammed with all sorts of stuff. But this wooden piece, , aka Jemina Puddle-Duck of Beatrice Potter fame,
 in her  green wellies caught my eye.

Isn't she  fun and ready for a good plodge in the puddles.

Thank you for calling into today, you are all very welcome and I hope you have enjoyed your visit.
