spending money
new yarn
i couldn't resist this yarn. i am loving aqua and red together at the moment. throw in brown and i love it more. tempted to cast on in the next day or so, but we'll see.
i have been doing a lot of online shopping lately. i see a few extra bucks in my checking account and i have instant rationalization for knitting purchases. nevermind the visa bill that is coming with 2 super cute new spring handbags charged on it. oh well.
i haven't been baking much lately, but inspiration hit when my mom bought me this book.
granted, the recipe is here for free (and since i have every publication of hers i am sure it is in one of the magazines on my shelf too).
but the book is so well designed i couldn't resist. good design makes me happy. anyways, these were pretty too look at, expensive to make and a bit of a time suck to prepare. and you know what? they were pretty tasteless! ugh. too bad. the honey bee ice cream from haagen dazs that i paired them with was excellent though!
(jan and chris, i don't know why but these totally remind me of jammie dodgers!)
and i meant to blog this awhile back, but newly acquired art for above the fireplace
purchased here. because it is a diy stretched fabric piece, you get a lot of bang for your buck. this thing is HUGE. 5 ft x 5 ft or something crazy like that. i love it though. marimekko fabrics are awesome.
my mystery piece is blocked and i took some pictures today (holy moly there is sun in seattle today!). they need some major photoshopping so i'll post later. have a great weekend. besides having to take my parents to the airport before 5 a.m. tomorrow, i have some fun plans and the weather is supposed to be sunny and warm. what more could i ask for?

I have a skein of the Vesper Meteor colorway as well. I am still looking for a pattern to show it off. I'm looking forward to see what you do!

Oh LOVE the yarn LOVE the wall hanging. :)
Love that hanging over your fireplace. Ok. New bags? Um. Picture(s)...pretty please....
Thanks for sharing your new artwork and the link to the store. I immediately went and browsed and found the perfect fabric for an art piece above our bed! You have such great taste.
Jammie dogers Rule!!! along with Maltesers of course :o)

Gorgeous sock yarn, I love red and turquoise together but never realised they could look so good with brown! I'm very tempted.
How sad am I your BLOGLESS friend! Not no more. I doubt I will be as good as you keeping it updated and with such beautiful pictures!!
