Hallowe’en nightmare.
When making a studio in an outdoors garage that has been full of junk for many years, the first thing one needs to conquer is the junk. The second, is one’s fear of spiders. I suspect this one won’t be giving up its web without a fight… I have to confess here, though, that by […]
Donuts.
Whilst doing the WeightWatchers eating plan earlier this year, I read in one of their books about donut baking trays and promptly hunted one down for myself. Last night I made a big batch of donuts in it to share with Mark’s children and we laid out icing and hundreds and thousands and iced them […]
Tits, Tatami and Totally Tired.
Today’s episode of Sesame Street my blog is bought to you by the letter T. I am Totally Tired after running a Ten km run; my knees aren’t speaking to me and my feet? Let’s not even go there. My rheumatologist is well impressed with the progress I’m making on the anti-TNF drug but agrees […]
A Pink Post.
Someone once said that Frida Kahlo’s work was like ‘a ribbon around a bomb.’ If Frida Kahlo was around today, that ribbon would be pink. As you know, The Missability Website has turned Pink for October. My Dad’s mother died of breast Cancer about nine months before I was born. I never knew her but […]
It’s never done.
Today has been quite slow so far and I am in a bit of a black hole with Tatami; even though I’ve reached the split fot the neck, it still feels like each row takes forever… This feels quite apt as many things feel like they will never get finished at the moment! The browns […]
Mundane Appreciation.
It was really interesting to visit I Knit London today, to knit on their sofa, drink their tea and meet Jane Brocket. I did pick up a copy of her book and it is beautiful. I shall look forward to reading it over the next while… …after that I met up with PracticalPolly and we […]
FO: MA, Missability Writeup
I have hopefully freed up some headspace by finally posting about the now infamous Yarnstorm media fest. In other news, I am addicted to knitting Tatami and I’m planning a London trip on Saturday to see The Mundane Appreciation Society at the affordable Art Fair, then taking a trip to Prick Your Finger to suss […]
Rhubarb.
In spite of the insanity of the last few months and the strange ways of the weather this year, I’m enjoying a bumper crop of Rhubarb. I am just slightly ashamed that I really did nothing to this apart from planting it and then covering the roots in chippings that me and Mark made using […]
Criticism, Completion, Tatami.
I am working on a big post about Yarnstorm’s book, the Alison Lapper Statue and the feelings I have about handing in my writeup – finally – tomorrow. The theme loosely is criticism and what it does to learning; also difficult issues and how controversy seems to be a natural result of asking hard questions […]
