Poly Girls Recipe Book! - Angel_Emz95

Hey everyone I have an idea... jangold is doing an amazing job with the poly girls posters, and I thought seeing as there are so many posts with delicious-looking food maybe we could make a poly girls recipe book!!
So if anyone has any recipes that they would like to submit, make a post (preferably with photos!) and I'll have a go at making a recipe book if I can.
Recipes can be for anything... from cookies to crabcakes and pies to punch!
What does everyone think of the idea?
XOXO, Em

Homemade Sushi

Around a year ago I decided to make sushi 1st time in my life :) It turned out really good so now I'm making sushi to all parties. Evereyone loves them, and I love them too. Now I would like to learn how to make different sauces. If you have any good recipes for diffrent kinds of sushi and/or sauces for them it would be great if you could share with us :). Have a great day!!! (That's a picture I took yesterday of sushi I made for my grandmas B-day party)

Jars painted - jangold

This is the first stage of the Kilner jar painting that I told you about the other week. It is in three shades of green - but that has not shown up as well on the pic. Tomorrow I am going to my father-in-laws again and will get more jars. I now just have to figure out how to get suitable wire around and over these - pop in a tea-light and then we'll have lovely lanterns. Hugs Jan

My Guitar - Angel_Emz95

This is the guitar I make for my art project.

I make it with my 2 best friends, Sarah and Alice. (You can see our names written on the inside!)

I know it's not great, but it was just a bit of fun really :))

What do you think??

XOXO, Em

(One day left of hell until the holidays!!!)

Jangold - Revelation

This clip is a video from a programme on our TVs last year called 'Last Choir Standing' for a contest amongst choirs. This particular one which got to the finals never fails to leave my hairs on end. The large guy is next to his (smaller) brother and he had to delay his honeymoon as they got further than they thought they would in the competition. His wife and mother are featured about half way through. Play it and see what you think.

Picture of me (Farfalla13)

Thats pic of me one year ago. I know some people wanted me to show pic of me :) So, here i am.

A not so simple flower. PoliXena

The flower commonly called Hibiscus is a tropical flower wich belongs to the family Malvaceae. It gets its name from the Greek words Hibiscus meaning "mallow". It´s also know as rosemallow or jamaica.

It is a primary ingredient in many herbal teas and jams and it´s also used as a natural source of food colouring and for hair care purposes. Dried hibiscus is edible, it is often a delicacy in many countries. And is used as an offering to Goddess Kali and Lord Ganesha in Hindu worship

There are lots of these flowers growing everywhere here and you can find them in a great variety of colors... they are all wonderful, but I discovered this one the past week and it has became one of my favorite. Isn´t it fantastic the color combination?


The meaning of this flower is delicate beauty, but some sources include another meaning: if you receive Hibiscus flowerthis might suggest, "Seize this opportunity."

... What else can I say? Happy Saturday, dear friends. X. xxxx

Spoil Yourself Monday

This is a past "spoil"... my little watering can I picked up at the dollar store for $2.
Thought I would update you all so you can see it with the pretty flowers of summer.
My husband put up the wooden shelf that the flowers and can are sitting on.
I get these shelves from flea markets and thrift stores. ♥ Love you all, Gwyn

New coloured lanterns - jangold

Hi Girls

It's a lovely day here in the UK. At long last we have had some good weather - some last week and more to come this week - in fact they predict a heatwave ! For our two weeks Wimbledon tennis contest this has been bliss and to date they have not had to use the new roof only to put some shade onto the Royal box :-)
I treated myself a few weeks ago to a several sets of lanterns to go on our dividing trellis in the garden as I had a poor clemetis that died there. So this is a picture of four of the lanterns - very bright and Summery and in the evening you can put in a tealight to light them up even more. As the Summer nights are already starting to draw in I will do this in a couple of weeks. Hope you are all having a good week - what did you do for SYM ? I had lovely nectarines with my cereal for breakfast.

Malú and her circumstances. PoliXena

Malú has been ill lately and she had surgery two weeks ago. It has been a bit difficult situation and hard times for me and of course, for her. But now, she´s starting to feel much better... I feel so happy! and she is purring all day long.



I took this photo yesterday morning and I decided to post it as a way to give thanks to Gwyn -who made the most precious and swetest set for us- and to all the persons who have asked about her health.

Thanks for your good wishes and powerful energy, dear friends we truly appreciate it ;) Have a nice day, hugs, X.xxx

Orbs - jangold

Well another sunny day here in the UK - who's complaining - not me although I got burned through leggings over lunch. I had my friend Kerry up for lunch and we had a lovely pasta salad with garlic bread then for dessert I made strawberry waffles with vanilla icecream - very scrummy.

Gave me time to get some more done in the garden - so I got out my 6 orbs (3 pictured) you can see the reflection of the top part of the garden with the two chairs Kerry and I had been lazing on :-) Now if I can get all the solar lights to work - that will be another matter. Bye for now Hugs Jan xxx

Father's day

We went to check on our cattle on Father's Day, and i wanted to share these pictures with you. The first one is of a bottle tree, native to our Paraguayan Chaco. It's all full of big thorns, that fall off when the tree gets old. So when we were smaller, we knew never to go barefoot under a bottle tree.

The other picture is one of the newest calves. It's looking for it's mommy. The silly thing didn't realize she was standing close by the whole time.

And another, because it was Father's Day.... No comment necessary:)
