Sam Yingling: Promise Made, Promise NOT Kept – Budget Deficit of $250K - Lennie Jarratt's Blog - Grayslake, IL Patch
Flag as Inappropriate Sam Yingling: Promise Made, Promise NOT Kept – Budget Deficit of $250K
Yingling claims to “post a record surplus last fiscal year”, but records show the fiscal year ending in Feb. 2012 had a deficit of $253,520.
In the previous article the discussion was about Sam Yingling not keeping his promise on returning his salary. This article is about his failure to keep his budget promises and once again exposing the fact that he has not told the residents of Avon Township the truth. In the third paragraph of the Avon Township website [shown at bottom of page], Yingling claims to “post a record surplus last fiscal year”. The problem again is Avon Township in their fiscal year ending in Feb. 2012 shows a deficit of $253,520. In addition when Yingling took the reigns at Avon Townships, there were mass firings, that appeared to be political in nature. The fired employees sued for wrongful termination and won a settlement of $450,000. The settlement proves these firings were political and just another example of Chicago style politics coming to Lake County. The Daily Herald Editorial Board even called this a “patronage settlement“.
See full story with inline images at ChampionNews.net.
Jarrett clearly has no idea about economics. I looked at the financial statement (here and on the Avon Township website) and see a "burn-off" of accumulated reserves(from years and years of flying under the radar). Taxing us, not spending our money and building reserves is something that local government does so prominently here in GOP controlled Lake County. How do you think Yingling has been able to reduce property taxes? He is burning off reserves from the previous administrations and giving the people a tax break. Thank you Mr. Yingling.
Jarratt, if you look at any of the Daily Herald articles about the firings, they had nothing to do with Yingling, but the Assessor of those days. Even your link say nothing about Yingling but does talk about the Assessor of those days.
What you prove Jarratt is that you clearly are afraid of change. As a Tea Party advocate, you should be embracing Yingling's message of accountability and reform. But no, if it is coming from a Democrats it just can't be good. You are classic of what is wrong in Lake County and your own failed campaign shows you are out of touch, mis-informed and vindictive.

@Sean a few points: 1. You stated, ""burn-off" of accumulated reserves" - The Avon Twsp website stated "Record Surplus", which as I pointed out was incorrect. Than you for confirming this.
2. You stated, "no idea about economics" then went on toto about financial statements. Economics is not the same as budgets or financial statements so you statement is incorrect to begin with.
3. On you point about the settlement and firings, as stated in the article, "The Daily Herald Editorial Board even called this a “patronage settlement“."

The Tea Party stands for Llimited Gov't and Fiscal Responsibility.
Limited Gov't - This means smaller gov't that is run transparently and efficiently. With Yingling putting his salary into a private foundation outside of public view and outside the elected official he fails this standard.
Fiscal Responsibility - From a local gov't perspective this means stopping the ever increasing property taxes while ensuring the taxing body is fiscally sustainable. While Sam has stopped the tax increase and even lowered them, his deficit spending is not fiscally sustainable and portends a looming disaster to Avon Twsp.
I know many want to claim, like you have, that the Tea Party is uncompromising and wants to get rid of gov't. Neither is true. The majority of tea party activists are willing to work with others to find REAL solutions. They also know SOME gov't is neccessary, but they want the parts that are UNneccessary eliminated. OVER taxation and OVER regulation are detrimental to business growth and thus jobs. Illinois is the poster state for both. causing 1 person to leave the state every 10 minutes (some are saying faster now) and over $25 Billion in taxable income. I am not afraid of change and we certainly need a lot of change here in IL starting with removing Michael Madigan from the being Speaker of the House. You see, I understand the difference between good and bad change. I want GOOD CHANGE.
November 04, 2012 at 12:03 PM
1 person to leave the state every 10 mins. Gosh, I wish one of them was you. Heck, you can find a dandy of a house in WI, the taxes are virtually nothing (which you would love). The flipside is the schools are HORRIBLE and everything is very disjointed. I'll go there for fireworks and beer - that is just about it.
November 04, 2012 at 12:05 PM
Vindictive. What an awesome word. Lennie is very vindictive.
November 07, 2012 at 11:59 AM
And now you and your silly propiganda can go away. Sam won.
Oh, Joe Walsh lost. Obama won.
As always, you are incorrect. The truth is not propaganda. My work is always about principles and I will continue to work to expose corruption and wasteful spending. If you haven't figured it out yet, I am not afraid of bullies who spread lies and intimidate.
November 07, 2012 at 08:12 PM
Speaking of spreading lies....You still can't back up your outrageous statements about Judge Mullen can you...you just made up lies to fit your narrative.
You try so hard to play the victim (how very liberal of you), yet you are nothing but a liar and (wannabe) bully yourself.
You reek of hypocrisy.
November 16, 2012 at 02:20 AM
January 04, 2013 at 05:44 AM
Oh let me guess...you didn't vote for Yingling, eh? Have you happened to notice that no one voted for you - or pretty much any of the candidates that you support? Go get a real job instead of writing blogs, then maybe you can afford to pay your mortgage and taxes.
It is always interesting the see the compassion (NOT) of those left of center.

Infininity 3rd Ed. English Seminar Summarised
By: Martin on Thursday, May 01, 2014
So here is Carlos talking about the new edtion and basically going through everything that was said in the Spanish seminar. I made some quick notes while watching so those of you who don't have time to view all 44 minutes of it, read on...
First off, Infinity will be "resculpted" in a similar way to how new models get new sculpts. The rules will be updated and the translation will be redone and improved. The fluff texts will be re-written and re-translated, but will stay pretty much the same as it is now - there will be no setting changes in the 3rd edition rulebook. Basically it is meant to fit into the chronology of the published Infinity books meaning it won't cover stuff that happens in Human Sphere or Paradiso. As Carlos put it, it's simply meant to replace the 2nd edition rulebook, not any of the other books. In fact he was very clear in telling us that the new book will be compatible with the expansion books published this far. Which is great news of course!
Carlos demonstrates that the current lineup of books is still valid, only the core rulebooks is getting replaced.
So fluff-wise it will stay pretty much the same, the rules will be updated here and there and there will be a number of new troop profiles in the new book that can be used for the generic armies. These troops will then be expanded upon and find their own sectorial in Acheron Falls. Speaking of Acheron Falls, it will be more like Human Sphere and will be "duplicating" (doubling? Surely not) the number of sectorials.
ALEPH and Tohaa will not be in 3rd edition as they are introduced, fluff-wise, in Human Sphere and Paradiso respectively so wouldn't make much sense for a new player of the game. Of course, the new troop profiles introduced will be downloadable from the website. As will the entire new rulebook when it's done (minus art and fluff).
Rules will change to make the game "more solid". The old book had many grey areas and holes that needed FAQing and CB wants to change this. Carlos talked about how they wanted to make the rules black and white - perfectly clear in every situation, which sounds good. One part of this will be the new LoF rules where you use silhouettes to see what you can see. Every troop type will have its silhouette listed so you can replace the miniature with it if LoF is uncertain. This should make things a lot easier (although I know a number of people in my community who have played this wrong)! This also goes hand in hand with the new base sizes. Regarding this Carlos said that how you base your miniatures really doesn't matter all that much with the introduction of silhouettes, so make your miniatures beautiful first and foremost!
There will, of course, be more information doled out during the year and new troops, new rules, new artwork and resculpts of old minis will be revealed!
I won't provide pictures here, just simple bullet points as the information was short but sweet.
Interventors - New profile and sculpt released next month, with combi rifle and boarding shotgun. Also included will be two Fast Pandas. Tunguska will be in Acheron Falls.
Zúyong Invincibles - Entirely new troops. Will be in Acheron Falls but also in 3rd ed. Low class heavy infantry, line infantry for the Invicible sectorial. Sculpt base on new Sun Tze. Unfortunately we didn't get to see more of the heavy support troops with the giant shoulder cannons.
Kazak Spetsnaz - Kazak army in acheron Falls but new profiles for generic Ariadna in 3rd ed. Two troop profiles: Ambush and para-trooper.
Kum Bikers - There will be a second box (with the female biker) coming later this year.
Muttawu'ah - Resculpt with new profile. Carries an EM-pulse.
Neoterra Bolts - 3D sculpting make things easier and they want to follow the Bolt/Morat pattern of releasing line troops. Meaning we're likely to see two boxes of line troop for every faction - one with basic troops and one with special weapons. Bolts will make more sense in 3rd ed rules. It sounded like they will become Religious or something analogous to it (won't retreat).
Nikoul - Tohaa ambush unit.Won't be in 3rd ed, but available for download. Viral sniper. Sapper. Mines.
O-12 - Are mostly political, like the UN. But will probably turn up as an army some time in the future (further down the line it seemed like). This mini will work as civilia/VIP for scenarios.
Squalo - Nice new sculpt. More emphasis on the heavy grenade launcher.
Sun Tze - Will get a new profile. Armour works as base for new Yu Jing sculpts.
Tank hunters - New design, but still similar to the old. Autocannon version very popular model!
Unidron Batroide - New Combined Army troops. Similar to Dakini Tacbots but for EI. Line troop for new generic Combined Army starter pack that might come later this year.
Warcors - Will come as regular model but also a special version for people in the Warcor program.
Assault pack - Controller and three antipodes. They are much more wolf like now and Carlos referred to them as a heat seeking missile that will almost certainly take out whatever they target. Will come in summer, probably.
I think that's mostly it when it comes to new information! Lots to look forward to. For me personally the new Invincible (terracotta) sectorial is veyr high on the list! Of couse, the Kazak sectorial might sway me...
2screens 1 May 2014 at 12:53
Great summary! I'm really excited for the new book and the direction the game is going! Corvus Belli do a fantastic job and they really show that they care about their fanbase and the game as a whole, and it's great to know they listen to the community too!
Martin 1 May 2014 at 15:41
Couldnt' agree more! CB does a great job of creating a fun game and beautiful miniatures, but more than that they listen to their community. And they do it in the right way - they have their own vision that they pursue, not giving after to knee jerk reactions. While I'm sure they read the forums it seems like they take their community input from a more "zoomed out" perspective.
Looking forward to hearing more about N3!
Dragons Claw 1 May 2014 at 16:19
Thanks for this your infinity coverage has been great and you've found a way into my bookmarks. Trying not to jinx it and say it out load but I've got high hopes for 3rd I think it's a good 2 factions starter and rules boxset from breaking big
Martin 1 May 2014 at 16:38
Glad to hear that, Dragon Claw! Welcome to the site. Although I write about a lot of different games here Infinity is always close to my heart. :)
Bringing out a two player boxed starter set is an interesting thought and seems to have worked out well for Spartan Games and Hawk Wargames, for example. For some reason I have a hard time seeing CB releaseing one for Infinity, but you never know. Hmm...
jmw23 1 May 2014 at 23:49
How is Hawk Wargames doing? Locally the only retailer who carries them is selling them 2-for-1 in an attempt to clean out stock. DZC looked pretty cool when first announced, but then fell off my radar.
As for Infinity, I'm very excited! Simplification of the rules is OK, but I play casually with friends, and we can always come to an agreement about things like dropping grenades off of a roof. There are definitely a few rules that could be a little more fun, and it sounds like Loss of Lieutenant and Retreat are being reworked a bit, which is wonderful.
Steve 2 May 2014 at 17:41
Hawk had a massive stand at Salute 2014 in London last month, I mean huge. It was the 2nd most popular stand there, with 6 demo tables, an absolutely huge diorama table and a awesomely ridiculous interstellar drop ship (https://www.facebook.com/PolyhedronCollider/photos/a.476963325764373.1073741830.336762709784436/476965235764182/?l=303a106716).
To say they where out in force was an understatement, it was the 2nd most popular stand after Forge World.
There are also rumours on a space fleet combat game being developed with Andy Chambers.
Martin 3 May 2014 at 12:39
Hawk Wargames and Dropzone Commander does indeed seem to be doing quite well! They have regular releases of new stuff and the first exansion (with a new factions) is being released soon. I have yet to get into it myself, but that is just a matter of time. :)
But yeah... Infinity! I agree with you and even the people I've played against in tournaments have been very friendly and relaxed. Still getting things cleared up can't be a bad thing.

Coudl you please fix your indentation? This is unreadable code.
please highlight the important lines
A good hint is make your non-template version of Queue working first, the add template to it.
_Num is a bad choice of naming, see my answer.
A friend function should be defined outside, you could hit issues like Access friend function defined in class . You should just leave a friend declaration within the class and define the function outside the class.
But your error comes due to the way you name your template variables.
Instead of friend ostream & operator << <T,size>(ostream & or ,const Queue<T,size> &a){
try just friend ostream & operator << (ostream & or ,const Queue<T,size> &a){
p.s. _Num - Bad Idea
Yeah yeah, you're both on target. sry for the cross take on terms, Karthik. totally my bad. I'll drop comment. Been a long day.
Why complicate it so much? Simply say: "friend functions are declared as friend in the class, and defined elsewhere". IMO the important distinguishing point is declaration and definition.
@WhozCraig no worries, always glad to improve my c++ jargon
i have tried to write the friend function outside and changed what you sayed it's still not working.
@oren both answers should work, but Karthik's is less invasive and more inline with what you were originally going for. If it works for you (and it should), then excellent.
If you are concerned about tight coupling like me, you are especially concerned about friend (because that's the tightest coupling C++ has to offer). That said, there is a view of operator<< that makes it easy to implement, inside the class, without any friend declarations:
Simply put, operator<< for ostream is a mere beautification for a simple print method. And it is only because of this beautification (chaining os << a << b << c... calls) that the operator can't be a method of the class it should be part of. So many people resort to a friend declaration of that operator, which imo is an encapsulation breaking ugly workaround. So what can you do?
* Here comes the method. Inside the class, were it should be,
* having all the access it needs.
* No template-specialization-friend-declaration needed.
ostream & printToStream(ostream & or) const
or<<Arr_[i];
* Here comes operator<<. It is what it really is:
* Just a beautification, nothing more, no additional functionality.
ostream& operator<<(ostream& os, Queue<T,size> const& q)
{ return q.printToStream(os); }
See? No big deal at all. If you do that often, and if your method is called printToStream every time, you can make it a template:
template <class Printable>
ostream& operator<<(ostream& os, Printable const& p)
{ return p.printToStream(os); }
And if you want to get fancy, you can enable_if that operator only if it has that member function. No more "friend operator<< how should I do that again?", just implement printToStream, and the beautification-operator<< already exists.

“Fresh Fish off the Boat”
Review of Kirk Fish Company
Ranked #2 of 5 Restaurants in Goodland
Description: Freshest, local seafood retail market located on the unique island of Goodland, FL just south of Marco Island. Open seasonally (October-May) 10am-5pm 7 days per week. Owned and operated by a 5th generation Florida fishing family. Fresh Stone Crabs, Grouper, Snapper, Sheepshead, Drum, Gulf Pink Shrimp, Live Blue Crabs, Smoked Fish, killer Key Lime Pie, and much more! The fresh fish can change daily, depending on what the fishermen catch. Supporting our local commercial fishermen
Love Kirks, they always have the best fish in town. Always fresh and all time favorite, their Stone Crabs in season. Best fish out there.
Ask Bonnie U about Kirk Fish Company
All reviews stone crab claws key lime pie fresh fish clams lobster dip seafood kingfish fresh catch mustard sauce great place to buy marco island in season take home prices are reasonable boats mallet smoked
Old time "fresh catch" fish market. Located between The Little Bar and the Marco Lodge in Goodland. Helpful staff. While you're there grab a Key Lime pie. Made fresh, it's a light and tasty desert (and my favorite).
Ask DalnaprizWe about Kirk Fish Company
1 Thank DalnaprizWe
Wonderful Fresh Fish Market
What a great place to pick up seafood if you are staying on/around Marco Island. We went twice during our vacation to pick up stone crab claws, shrimp and crab cakes - it's great that they have a variety of pre-made sauces to go with them. We also bought a key lime pie, which is delicious.
Ask MissyButt about Kirk Fish Company
We read about this place on Trip Advisor. We went there a few times to get freshly caught seafood to cook for dinner. The fish selection changes daily depending on the catch from that morning. We bought hog snapper and American snapper, both of which were very good. They also have the best crab cakes that we have found in the Marco Island area.
Ask svowels about Kirk Fish Company
Great Place to buy fresh fish and stone crab
When in Marco Island this a great place to buy fresh fish, stone crab and they are extremely helpful in sharing ideas of how to prepare. Great prices on stone crab, they will crack them and put them on ice. Don't forget their homemade mustard sauce for the crab. Good selection of fresh and frozen fish to take to your grill.

A Bulldog Abroad: See the Pyramids along the Nile
Back in the saddle again! This Bulldog, after an almost two year stateside stint, is once again going to be abroad. I am once again returning to the sandbox that is the Middle East. This time I am staying in Egypt for 3 weeks. I am going with Drake, and am really excited!
Two of my favorite professors, Dr. Hamad, and Dr. Cadd are leading the trip. We will be taking two classes while there, one of Islam and politics, as well as a general Modern Egypt class. This is going to be very different than my last trips to the region. The last two was more spent on Arabic, whereas this will be more from the international relations side, as well as country specific study. The stress of leading will be greatly reduced too.
I am most excited for what Egypt has to offer. Jordan is great, but is generally a side trip for those coming to Egypt and Israel. It has always been a dream of mine to see the Pyramids as well as the Nile river (cue the song You Belong to Me: See the pyramids along the Nile, watch the sunrise on a tropic isle.)
As we close in on the trip I will be providing more, as well as in-country reporting. Sorry for my absence in the past, but this will hopefully wet your appetite again.

Frogs in a Bucket: A Little Bit of Christmas Stitching
There's been no sewing lately.
There's been a lot of cleaning going on. And a lot of decorating. And finally, a tiny bit of stitching:
Maybe I'll get this finished in time for Christmas.
This comment has nothing to do with your post. I just wanted to say I love your blog and how you make something from each and every burda issue. I have beens subscribing for a year now and have yet to make one thing. I have traced several patterns, I am just a beginner sewer and the instructions don't make too much sense to me. My goal for next year's sewing is to sew a wardrobe from my burda style magazines.
I always enjoy seeing your cross stitching! Looking good!

poppyart: October 2009
Inspired by the trip into Luton's Bury Park and a HUGE bunch of coriander, we had Beef Madras for a couple of meals.I always get a bit carried away and add too much curry paste which makes it too salty and therefore... I throw a few chopped potatoes in. And lots of chopped spinach - which is more substantial than English spinach and a bit like silverbeet. I found that and the beautiful vine tomatoes in one of the many Asian grocery stores too.This is the recipe I nearly followed. (If you use this amount of surry paste, the amount of salt won't be an issue).MADRAS BEEF CURRYFry 1 sliced onion in vegetable oil for 8 mins. Lower the heat and add 4 cloves, 4 green cardamons, 2 whole star anise, 4 fresh grn choppped chillies, 2 fresh or dried chopped red chillies, 3 tbspn madras paste, 1 tsp tumeric.Fry for a further 3 mins. Add 450 g lean diced beef , cover and cook until the beef is tender, approx 1hr. (I added around 200ml of water here). Then, due to the saltiness of my curry, I added 3 chopped potatoes and 3 large chopped vine tomatoes. Cook for approx 40mins on a low heat until all ingredients are tender. Finish with 1 bunch cooked and drained spinach and 3 tbsp tamarind paste. And sprinkle a lot of coriander over the top.I served ours with low fat creme fraiche (we didn't have any natural yoghurt) and mango chutney as it packs quite a heat punch.
We are getting closer to Halloween... the skeleton is hanging on the door, (and the window.) The 'boo' bunting is out, the treats are bought... All ready for 22 children popping over tomorrow. All involved are bringing something, so I am hoping it will run as clockwork. I think a quick tea on blankets in the lounge, then some sort of treasure trail out the back, through the underpass and by the church. A piece of cake! Well, I always think that beforehand...You may recognise the style of these goggle eyed monsters - we took the craft from this Usbourne book. The boys are loving anything slimy, spooky or ghosty. This book is perfect!It involved splashing about some watered down green paint onto green thick paper and cutting it into a simple slime monster shape. Then making separate bloodshot eyes (just a dab of red paint in the middle of circles and then blown out with a straw), cutting them out and pasting all onto a one of the many cereal box cards I have accumulated. Freddie has added lots of spooky drawings inside his monster... have the ghosts been eaten??? Who knows?(I have no idea why this pic has rotated itself, but can't seem to get it back!mmm)
Back by popular demand, the NCT Harpenden and District event was a great success. This time almost 20 families headed off into the deep, dark wood for a leisurely stroll.This year, we had TWO gruffalos (Freddie and Harry) courtesy of some adapted furry waistcoats (I stitched paper-stuffed horns onto the hoods and stapled purple prickles to the back).The craft was really simple and suited the slightly younger age of this year's children.I had made some 'G' clay pendants (left from another NCT event!) and they were threaded with paper leaves and real leaves onto a stretchy plastic cord. I found these cords for a pound at the 'lifestyle' shop in Bury Park, Luton. Bury Park is a real treasure trove of the unexpected. There are Asian fabric shops with wonderful embroidered pieces, and unusual grocery stores, plus every plastic storage item you'll ever need. Park up and have a wander, we had an outing with Mum yesterday before she headed back to London.
o, I'm sure it's not too early!! Certainly it's not to early to stock up ready for fairs and craft shows. Here is the beginning. I have 10 ready to go but am so pleased with the design, I will do lots more.It's a chance to use some of the lovely fabric from fabricworm as posted earlier.These ones are listed on folksy.
I have just dropped some banana cupcakes to the Methodist Church in the village for their poppy appeal. I really hope they are ok... I usually make teeny ones in the pampered chef tin, these are normal, grown up size! Anyway, the poppy appeal always brings back memories for me of my 'Poppy'. He was a really sweet grandparent, twinkling eyes, smart trimmed moustache, always gardening and offering us lollies (or sweets if you are from the UK)!He fought in World War II and was interned in a German prisoner of war camp. I have heard stories of him being in charge of the cricket green for the competitive cricket matches and also the shows the prisoners put on. I remember his left foot, with its smallest toe removed due to frostbite. Once back in Western Australia he was granted one of the first farms in a scheme for the returned servicemen. My mum was one of four daughters who joined my uncle to be raised in Moora WA.I wish I had a photo of Poppy to add to this post... when Mum gets home to Australia, I will ask her to send one across.

Phew! It's almost done and dusted for another season... There is a Spring and Autumn sale for our branch of the NCT. It involves a HUGE amount of stuff which is labelled up, brought in to the Harpenden Halls, sorted, sold and then leftovers sorted again and taken home.I am somewhere in the middle of this all, and register and organise the sellers in three villages.From the queues you can see how popular it is.Lots of money is made for the NCT, lots of women are organised and empowered, and best of all, lots of things are re-used instead of wasted.It is a great fun weekend, but a little exhausting. Just recovering, now... once again I have over extended myself and am suffering from a stinking cold.
Granny is here! Hurray! We spent the day at Kew. There is so much to see and it took about an hour to drive there. If you are thinking of it, there is 20% off - up to 6 tickets - available via kew gardens online. The treetop walk is spectacular... beautiful green parrots flitting around and wonderful views. Perhaps not quite as high as the one wandered by Elle Macpherson in Walpole, Western Australia!! And there is a great indoor (nature related) play area with snapping venus flytraps, giant seed pods, tunnels and this challenging blossom... We had the most glorious weather. Sunny, with a chill in the air and lots of crackling leaves to kick. This afternoon, after school, we used our finds for some leaf prints. The idea is to turn them into Christmas trees, so we kept to a simple palette. Just coat the dryish leaves with green paint, and press down carefully. Granny showed Freddie how to do a reverse print. The next step is the add a Xmas star at the top and lots of glitter. The pinecone tips were painted and Harry wants to hang them on the Christams tree with cord. Posted by
What a lovely day, and well done to Amanda and co for all the organising. The stalls looked fabulous and there were lots of great products available. Once again, there was an interesting range, great for early Christmas presents. I did get my capes ready on time. There are 3 left with a super 'S' on the back. And I have some blanks so please request an initial and a colour choice and I am happy to personalise.I would have loved to have Harry modelling the cape again, but he is at nursery and childcare today. I waited in vain for the phone to ring with all of those supply teaching offers!!??I have been registered with a local agency for AGES but to be honest, they've been a bit crap. Doing supply in London was very different... I could pick and choose the days: if I'd had a big night out, I could sleep in and not worry. Oh well! Plenty to do around the house, sewing, cleaning, washing. (Not in that order, unfortunately).
Wow! there is a great blog I visit - http://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/. And I found out about fabricworm through it. http://www.fabricworm.com/And my order arrived today.It is great, some Xmas special prints plus some stand-out patterns - can you see the robot?There is so much to do... so if only I had another 24 hours before the fair tomorrow!
Last year I made some great gingham capes wand appliqued a 'S' on the back. I was really happy with them, and have another batch coming... hopefully ready for tomorrow's 'shopping event' at Studham (Harpers). Here is Harry trying one on, in prototype stage. Notice the extra WOOSH available with the satin.
Here are the proud parents holding their new bundle. Jon and Alina are very happy with this lovely little girl (who wouldn't be... I can almost feel my ovaries bumping around!)I visited on Sunday, bearing my accumulated pink stash of clothes and some handmade bunting. There is a matching nappy pouch for Isabella, somewhere in my sewing room. Where???Baby is putting on lots of weight, Jon also cooked a great lamb roast so I'll be doing the same, I guess.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVh15aUt8-cWatch this! I don't know how to include it in the blog... but is worth the effort. This guy is fab, he went to school with my brother, Jon, back in Claremont, Western Australia. He is very witty (pretty rude in places) and a fantastic musician. The video we watched today is a bit strong on the language and imagery... but this song from youtube is an anthem to encourage canvas bags at the supermarket... it can't be bad!
I made some really sweet apples for last week's Apple Fair, I have just 3 left. Comment or email me direct (brocchi111@hotmail.com) to let me know if you would like one! They are £5 (this includes postage within the UK). I used this pattern, if you would like to have a go yourself. I didn't worry about a template, just fudged it.... but I like the organic nature of the shape. http://uklassinus.blogspot.com/2007/11/apple-pin-cushion-tutorial.html And I had a real giggle this morning when I picked up the photo. I found that Freddie has been taking pictures with the camera!Here is his brother, the star model:And some stuffed favourites (nicely framed, I think):And an edgy shot with a balancing car:
Here is a close-up of my fabulous vintage fabric apron. I picked up the fabric from the flea market, and fashioned a flattering deep-pleated half apron. The kitchen print is really effective, the colours just slightly faded. I have a petite small version plus a large one left. poppyart [http://www.poppyart.co.uk/product.php?id=48] to buy now, or see it at my next Fair.There is a wonderful oak barn in Studham. It is a venue for weddings, and is nestled behind a brilliant farm shop called Harpers. Harpers has supplied us with huge hams over Christmas and new year (experimented with Jamie Oliver's Jerk recipe - a GREAT success). The service is excellent and it is perfect for pre-ordering Christmas meats.Anyway, I am at a shopping event at the barn this Thursday 15th October. From 10.30 , there will be very good quality gifts ready for Christmas. I will be there with lots of fabric buckets (which are flying off the shelves - well tabletop...) and brooches as well as my favourite aprons, bibs and sacks. There is a coffee shop on site as well, and plenty of parking.Come along!http://www.oakbarnvenue.co.uk/contact.php
My brother Jon is one of my favourite people. He is calm, kind and a bit cool. I am so lucky to have him living here in the UK. He is in Wimbledon with his family. Jon and Alina have had the most beautiful little girl, Isabella Grace. She was born last night and I did get the vital details but I answered the phone in a sleep-fog so can't remember them! Well done to Alina and congratulations to her son, Arnas as well... he will be a fantastic big brother.
Well, 'genius' may be a little bit of a stretch, but I am feeling pretty clever. I made some fantastic pea soup. And it is so easy! Last night we had boiled gammon, and I used the stock. Along with lots of chopped veges - carrot, fresh sweetcorn, parsnip, onion, celery - and a couple of thick pieces of chopped gammon. Plus the celebrity ingredient, mushy peas! We always have some in the cupboard (note to self - re-stock cans) as Keith loves them with his fish and chips. Please try and ignore the bright colour... it is the brand I had to hand. There are others available which don't have colouring. (Mushy Peas for the uninitiated are marrowfat peas, cooked in the tin and the 'vegetable' of choice inthe UK with fish and chips) For today's hearty, warming, tasty offering, I sauteed the veg, added the stock and then 3 tins of peas so it is nice and thick. Harry loves it, and the soup is perfect as we are experiencing a cold and wet change in the weather.
Here is Freddie and Harry, Freddie sporting a turquoise t-shirt, as an example for a customer. Posted by
I love yo yos. I have a pile ready for brooches, it is turning into quite a production line. I use some on my new fabric buckets - I sold lots at the Harpenden 'bumps, babes and beyond' fayre so have whipped up a few more. The buckets are ready for the Apple Fair at Highfield Park in St Albans. A bit late notice... but it's tomorrow! Posted by
The boys always love any sort of hamburger, and this time I borrowed Delia's Shami Kebab recipe for inspiration. I actually had a bit of get-up-and-go beofre dinner, enough to throw this together. (Usually I am so uninspired! Please don't think this is an everyday thing in our house.)I was supposed to include 1 drained tin of lentils... but I didn't have them ... just 8 tins of red kidney beans, for some reason.Anyway, I used 400 g minced lamb 1 red onion, chopped finely 1 generous tblsp curry powder1 tsp each crushed cumin, coriander seeds, salt, fresh ground pepper (should have added egg. none of those, either!)Mix up well, mold into small patties and place in a frying pan with 2 tbsp hot oil. We have a huge frying pan, bought cheaply from Nisbetts, a catering company, and I was able to do the whole lot in one batch.Cook until well done and then drain on paper towel.The boys enjoyed theirs with hummous, lettuce and cucumber. I snuck a couple with tzatziki. And toasted wholemeal pitta bread.
