Nicole Gastonguay

Nicole Gastonguay is a fiber artist from NYC & she does these silly things without a pattern, so they come out randomly each time. Yummy, delicious {literally} knitties. I'm into knitting plushies now, so maybe these are next? Although they are wicked expensive & don't offer a pattern to follow. blah.

MUSIC: Folk Friday {The Mummers}



Another English folk-ish band...Sorry! I'll branch out soon! This week I'm bringing you The Mummers, from Brighton, specifically- their music is lovely, lovely {I've been listening while I write my thesis this week}.


The band centers around Raissa & Mark Horwood {who unfortunately committed suicide in 2009}. Their most recent album - Tale to Tell - was released in April of 2009. Enjoy!

Owls! Adorable as desk accessories, perhaps in the kitchen or just kitschy decor. View more options here

Oldie

These images from dottie angel's blog basically define my existence these days. I've been canning practically every weekend & knitting every second I get for hours & hours (not that this latter activity is new). My new canning obsession makes me long for the days when I can have a place of my own with a big garden. So far, I have made a bunch of applesauce, whose run-off created the most glorious fresh, nothing-added apple juice I have ever tasted in my entire life (I'm making more this weekend). Also, made a bunch of raspberry jam, which came out great & not too sweet. I'm pining to make some cranberry sauce & Boston Baked Beans as soon as I can, so stay tuned for a photo journey through my preserving activities.
