Pomander Kumquats
The request
When a bag of kumquats came home from the shops, three Dalahäster encouraged Amelia to make Hitty-sized pomander balls.
Pushing in the clove bud
Who could resist such encouragement?!
The start
…citrus and clove oils all over our hands…
spicy sweet
…surely one of the most delicious smelling projects of the season!
After the Hittys have done with sniffing and admiring, these will be dried, stored, and then added to our festive spiced apple cider!
Ah, colors, wood doll, wooden horses and now spices! You make a day so full of plenty and satisfaction….thank you.
You are welcome! The kumquat pomanders were fun to make and with a lovely lingering smell.
Oh, that wonderful fragrance is coming right through to my computer. Yesterday’s story of the snow was soooooo sweet. Especially loved the Wheeee on the sled going down the hill. The first snowfall is so magical.
Min liked the sledding too, in fact she kept skidding on down that tiny slope while I tried to catch her picture going down! The first snow is usually the only snow around here, but it seems like it might snow again – the wooden girls are hoping so!
A feast for the senses!
Yes! All the senses except taste, but that will come when we add them to our apple cider!
Delicious!
so clever to use the kumquats for tiny pomanders… love the photos and the finished product!
Every word seconded by me – and as ever I love every post, thank you SO much for the joy you bring
The kumquats practically leaped off the shelf at me, shouting Hitty-oranges! It was fun project, I am glad you enjoyed the post!
