I've had this massive collection of fabric samples.. and not known what to do with it.. so I started sewing, for the sake of it and this is what I came up with. A passport bag? or travelling jewelery bag? just experimenting..
During our holidays in Greece last August I started this scarf.. it was inspired by the colours of the sea there... I'm still working on it. Making the most of the sunny Autumn days, I jump in my bike for a work break and knit on the grass...
I suppose I should put a pic from Greece so that you can see what I was looking at whilst knitting...
And I think this inspired Talia to get on with knitting.. I've been preaching about it for so long now...
My friend Julia came to visit my flat.. as she hadn't been before, she brought house warming pressies.. how lucky am I?!!! Gorgeous lilies. Apparently she was looking for yellow and red to represent the Spanish flag but was disappointed for not finding them. However, she didn't realised that they are the Japanese flag's colours!! so well done!! She also gave me this gorgeous body cream that smells soooo yummy! And it came in this so-cute bag :-)
These red lilies were just stunning.. they seemed like made of plastic!! The colour was so intense.. (click to make bigger)
The contrast of colours was great :-)And then.. to top this up.. I got last weekend another bunch of STUNNING flowers! the pics don't make justice and the scent... the most amazing sweet scent I've ever smelt coming from a rose! And the lilies were gigantic and the pink.. the fucsia I should say, was just unbereably gorgeous. But the delicacy of the roses, old style English roses.. wow..
And to finish.. quick recipe of salmon "cake": with mashed potatoes, plum tomatoes, spring onions and barely seared salmon with onion.. SERIOUSLY easy and tasty - was very succesful on the night :-)
