Bolsa de periodico(s) - Bag of paper(s)
A menudo me ocure que tengo que hacer algo con mis manos. Y me fustro si no puedo crear algo, lo que sea. El papel suele ser una materia prima siempre a mano. De compras en el mercado de St Albans me dieron esta bolsa de periodicos reciclados. Me gusto y hoy con ayuda de este tutorial de How about orange , me hice esta.
Often I feel I need to create something, and get frustated if I have not made something with my hands. Papercrafts are a good outlet for this as there is always some scrap around. Shopping at St Albans market I got this bag, made of newspaper. I like it and today I made my own one with a bit of help from this tutorial from How about orange .

Con cinta de video - Crafting with videotape
Llevaba yo tiempo pensando en como utilizar la cinta de video para manualidades, nada nuevo segun muestran esta pagina y esta. Se me ocurre que se parece un poco a la rafia y quizas quedaria bien como una flor de telar. Me puse manos a la obra y ....estas son las primeras.
I had this idea a while back about using video tape as craft material. Nothing new judging by this page or this one. I think it looks and feels a bit like rafia. Here is my first take on this using a flower loom.

Inspiracion por los suelos - Floor creativity
El domingo visita al "Foreign Office", (el Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores en España) con motivo del Open House London. Una iniciativa que promueve la apreciacion de la arquitectura de la ciudad, con este motivo organizan el fin de semana Open House. Donde se pueden explorar muchos edificios gratis, algunos de ellos no estan normalmente abiertos al publico. Entre las muchas cosas que me gustaron los suelos victorianos.
Sunday afternoon we went to visit The Foreign Office, which thanks to Open House London was open to the public. Among the many things I liked, these colourful victorian floors.

Crema de fruta de la pasion o granadilla - Passion Fruit butter
La verdad es que tiene una pinta un poco sospechosa con esas pepitas oscuras, tal y como la comi ayer mañana. Pero la colamos y cambia por completo de aspecto y sabe deliciosa.
Aqui la receta.
Ingredientes :
• 100gr butter / mantequilla
• 220 gr sugar / azucar
• 4 eggs beaten / huevos batidos
• Pulp of 12 passion fruit / pulpa de 12 frutas de la passion/granadillas
• 1 tblsp lemon juice / 15 ml zumo limon
Preparation / Preparacion
• Mix the butter and sugar until fluffy , add the eggs slowly, then the lemon juice and finally the pulp. It might look curded and wrong ,ignore that and persevere and until the next step.
Mezclar azucar con mantequilla , añadir huevos poco a poco, luego la pulpa y despues el zumo de limon.
• Prepare a doublé boiler, and add the mixture when the wáter starts simmering, cook -stirring all the time- for about 15 m. or until the mixture thickens.
Preparar un baño maria suave con la mezcla anterior, cocinar removiendo constantemente durante 15 m. o hasta que espese.
• Pour into sterilized jars while still hot. If you do not like it with pips, filter it through a sieve or muslin cloth. The butter will continue thickening as it cools.
Colar o no la mezcla dependiendo del gusto y envasar en frascos esterilizados. La mezcla continua espesando mientras se enfria.
Thanks to a special offer (20 for £1) spotted by my partner at the end of market day on Saturday, I found myself with a glut of passion fruit last Saturday and no idea as to what to do with it.
I put my searching skills to work and a few minutes later I got some recipes to choose from. I went for an easy looking one, passion fruit butter ,I hope you like the recipe.
It looks a bit suspicious with the pips in as I had it this morning, reminding me of those garibaldi biscuits that bring to mind squashed flies. Filtering it through a muslin cloth does wonders for its appearance, while still tasting delicious.
