One can never have too many earrings

I made a decision to only blog my jewellery makes in groups of 4 or so because I never have a whole lot to day abut them. As a result, you are getting over a year's worth of jewellery (minus the wedding earrings) in one fell swoop.

Pancake of the Month: Eggnog

Wait, didn't I already do eggnog pancakes? Like, last year? Well, yes, I must have since there's a blog post and everything, but last year's pancakes were somewhat disappointing and flat, although the syrup was fabulous. This recipe from Cooking Classy promises fluffiness (the blog author is surprised by how fluffy they are, but 4 teaspoons of baking powder should have been a big clue) and extra nog flavour with 2 cups of eggnog.

The result?

The sailing may be smooth; the swivels need some work

Earlier this year I pledged -- at least, I thought I pledged; my comment seems to have been eaten -- to make two vintage items: the Wearing History Smooth Sailing 1930s-style trousers and a dress from a pattern I bought in the 1980s. It's extremely unlikely I'll get around to making the dress before the end of the year, but these trousers have been on my wish list for a long time. I tried to kickstart them by including them on my FESA15 list, but life intervened and I never got around to buying the fabric.
