Monday again, cold it is too, my feet are seriously below the temparature of what I would call reasonable for feet!
Enough of that, if I get on, I might forget about my feet!
I have been fairly busy last week, I have turned my creative juices all tropical making coconuts whole ones for the coconut shy, and halves for, ...well I don't know actually, I bought one, to copy & now I don't know what to do with it. We use coconut for plenty of recipes, but we tend to buy the milk in a tin & the white part in a packet. I suppose it's partly because it's a pain to open & partly because
when you do, you lose half the milk & it's hard to separate the "flesh" from the shell.suggestions would be welcome!
I'm pleased with them though, they did take me ages, good job I don't suffer from lack of patience!
The coconuts will be part of my exhibition at the end of the year, it is called "Itsy Britsy" & is a celebration of Great British traditions, a summer fete is one of my favourites & I intend to have a 12th scale fete complete with coconut shy.
I will write more about my exhibition at a later date......now brrrrr more socks!
Todays Happy thought....One kind word can warm three winter months.

this is wonderful!! this is the first miniature coconut I've seen, and it looks so realistic! :)
For the coconut you bought, you could cut off the top and poke a drinking straw through, and sip all that coconuty juice! It's really refreshing, and then you can use a spoon to scoop out the coconut flesh. That's how we do it here! :)
Yum. now I'm craving for some coconuts.
Lots of coconuts where I am, Yum!
