I love you more than chocolate biscuits.

On my way north for Thanksgiving, I stopped at a red light in Hadley behind this truck. And a photo was too good to pass up.

While Lu is by no means my favorite brand, I do love me a good chocolate biscuit. So, it's no small thing when I say I love you more.

Speaking of Scallops... - Grapefruit and scallops

So, I've made scallops with a sweet grapefruit marmalade sauce a few times because I happened to have some grapefruit marmalade that didn't quite work for anything else.

Last night I made scallops with fresh pink-grapefruit and boy oh boy! AMAZING.

:D

Hooray for Corner Shelves

A week or so ago when I was at the hardware store I bought myself some corner shelves to put above my bed in my studio.

Yesterday, I finally put them up! :D It's so lovely to have a place to put my bedside things instead of keeping them on the radiator or balancing them on the upended drawer on the floor. :) The light is really lovely at night as well. :)

Felted holiday ball ornaments

Today I made my grandmother's christmas present. Don't worry, she won't read this :)

I'm kind of excited about them. I made the red felted balls a month or so ago by rolling feltable yarn into balls, tying them up in nylon stockings and sending them through the washer and dryer.

The details I felted on using my newly acquired felting needles. For the life of me, I can't find the ones I already had. :)

mmm silk... scarf fabric from Habermans

On my latest adventure to my favorite fabric store in the world, Habermans, (why oh why do you have to be over 600 miles away!) I bought myself a few pieces of silk.

After a few hours of hand stitching, I now have three new scarves.

Deliciously soft fabrics in beautiful colors makes me a very happy bunny. :)

I also got a couple pieces of 100%wool but you'll have to wait to see what I make out of those.
