Quieres té

Have just been to a meeting for a group of us town-folk who want to start up some Spanish lessons.We have found a lovely lady to teach us and we start next week, rather exciting.

If only I could have captured the colours.

stuck on a shape

Inspired by these, I have been drawing up some images for notebook covers as part of an upcoming birthday present. Every time I put my pencil to drawing a body it turns into the deer who swallowed a saucer. Time to branch out lady.

inside a house

If I were George Jetson I would want to live here, by architects Jouin Manku.

empty chairs

I am spending some time by myself tonight and can't decide whether to knit or read? Both seem nice.

first day of vintage

Early morning playing with the grapes. Vintage began today.

Happy International Women's Day.

One year ago.

when the dust jacket comes off

An early start to a Saturday meant I could sneak to the op-shop. I found some books for eb and his dad, (history of wine in medicine and how to build a pizza oven, riveting for some), but found myself these treausures. Hiding behind an ugly dust jacket was this magnificent book cover. My new favourite thing is this small bakelite sewing case, the graphic of the sewing machine is the best, so modern for something quite old.
It was full of feet that may or may not fit my old singer, will have to test them out.

So there are a lot of things I want to get done today, or should. Don't know where to start.
Papermaking, cleaning, market research, grocery shopping, washing, hemming my jeans. If anyone elese out there suffers from jeans much longer than their legs then I find this the best and easiest way to hem them.

Have a good weekend, anyone have anything exciting planned?

if i could talk i'd tell you

time for some lovely people to know i miss them.
