Xmas Lights
Today I present the Reading Town Centre Xmas lights. Yesterday I needed to take a walk and I rediscovered the amazing pleasure of strolling in town during the Christmas period without money or a debit card or Christmas shopping plans of any sort. It is much less stressful than actually doing any buying and the […]
Christmas Cake.
For today’s advent-calendar-image, I present the results of The Kitchen Carnage previously featured here: My Christmas Cake. Would that I had an Easiwork to make the construction of ambitious cuisine more, well, easy. The camera doesn’t lie; my cake really did turn out as black as soot. It is a very fruit-heavy recipe; after 2 […]
Storage.
For today’s advent calendar image, I present to you: Storage. This is an Easiwork baking counter from 1929, which I had the pleasure of seeing for myself yesterday at The Museum of Domestic Design. If you haven’t been, you must go. Linked to Middlesex University, The Museum is a fantastic educational/cultural resource exploring all things […]
The Clownesse.
I present for your delectation a photo I took yesterday at Jumble it Up; it is of a clown. The clown in question is Hannah Mulder, performing in a piece presented by Small Pond Theatre Company, A short, beautiful life. In this piece, two clowns explore with pathos and humour our relationship to the Earth […]
Washing up.
Thanks for the enthusiasm on yesterday’s advent calendar image! For today’s image, I present a photo I took at Hannah Chidgey’s installation in the Oxford Brookes Undergrdauate show, Mum, Dad I’m an Artist. Chidgey, in this piece, was attempting to bake approximately one loaf of bread per hour for the duration and opening hours of […]
Kitchen Carnage.
Today has been filled with baking. I have mincemeat (as in mince pie filling) fermenting in one bowl, Christmas cake goodies soaking in another, Cranberry jam cooling in a jar and two fruit-cakes baked (one for us and one for Mark’s father) and I’m thoroughly exhausted and very pleased with how everything smells. I have […]
Advent Calendar.
I had an idea this year to make advent calendars. The idea was to sew 24 little pockets and put great things in them for all the 24 days up until Christmas. I haven’t had time to do this, but it did occur to me that I could put one photo onto my blog everyday […]
Distractions.
I haven’t recommenced Tatami as I had hoped to. Instead I have been organising my photographs for the contest Ysolda set up a few weeks ago. For those unfamiliar with this competition, the idea was to knit up a baby elephant from Ysolda’s Elijah pattern and then photograph it having adventures. When I undertook this […]
Unfinished Mitten.
After finishing the thumb and beginning on the next stretch of the second fingerless glove, I ran clean out of DK merino. I can’t remember if it was squishy or scrumptious or merino superwash. Because there are now so many breaks in the yarn, (each finger is knit with a seperate stretch of yarn…) I […]
