Exactly where I'm at on this Friday evening -- a veritable snapshot of my unsuspecting end table and the contents thereon.
Clockwise, from top:
Vanilla by
Patricia Rain;
Dream in Color Smooshy in
Good Luck Jade (soon to be a new iPod cozy;) Two skeins discontinued
Rowanspun 4-ply in Jade (soon to be the beginnings of
Ene's Scarf;) some early spindle-spun handspun of
Heather's (soon to be...a
Scarfy, perhaps?);
Swordspoint by
Ellen Kushner (I can not get enough of her
Riverside books;) and a lovely local red wine --
Mastronardi Cabernet Franc 2006 -- on one of
Heather's handmade, gently quilted coasters (I told you I use them, lady!!)
Yes, it's another exciting Friday night at home.
In other news, my dining room is now sporting a
very well-hung chandelier, the
borage and I are on good terms and the vegetable garden is dug. Tomorrow, the herb garden. Pictures to follow.
Somewhere between William Morris' tapestries, Byzantine herbals, my own scribblings and the Third Style of Roman wall-painting these mittens happened.
These just might be one of the prettiest things I've ever made.
