Finally made a second long-planned small bracketed shelf, to hold my wood boxes of SCA trinkets and treasures... the shelf above it is the bottom of the old wooden medicine cabinet hanging on the wall in the bedroom. The mirrored door is handy when I comb my hair in the morning, and inside the cabinet are some dowels set across (where once medicines sat on long lost shelves) to store my earrings...
There was a large jar of quincemeat left in the fridge after making the tartlets for Saturnalia, so today I added leftover pears, and most of a jar of homemade Seville marmalade, brought the whole amount up to a boil again, and processed it into jars to keep for next winters holiday baking. There are now four 8oz jars in the pantry. Soon it will be marmalade season, as this season's citrus are starting to arrive at the grocery store. And another batch of candied citrus peel must needs be made for my father's birthday...
