- I got in to the Cookie A class! As if there could be more icing on that cake Robyn is also giving me the class as an early birthday gift!!!
- After discussing with Robyn all the places we’re going to shop and eat in Seattle in Portland I am now 100% excited for this trip. Money be damned I am going to paint the Western coast of this continent red.
- On a sad note, I tried to add a panel to my room slippers and ended up rendering them unwearable. I really took my time in the repair but it just didn’t take. Le sigh.
- On the finishing steps I ran out of yarn again on Pioneer. Le sigh double. Ilovemath saves the day again by sending me more yarn.
- In the meantime I finished another pair of plain purse socks.
-
Brought to you by substitute teaching.
The yarn is the Paca Peds in Fireside that my mom got me in California. Sixty stitches, twisted rib cuff.
- I read Jane Eyre last week and I really, really loved it. After an English degree literature can seem like a bit of a slog but I couldn’t believe how the book sucked me in. Definitely an all time fave.
- I need a recipe for hamburger and hot dog buns. I am having no luck finding one on my own that rises and doesn’t taste really sweet.
- This Pasta with Cauliflower and Feta is my new go-to weeknight recipe. Delish.
- I was on a jag of watching movies that I really hated so I switched to documentaries and have landed on some really good ones.
- The new Jarvis Cocker and Yeah Yeah Yeahs albums are amazing. If you have any other recommendations for me please do tell.
- I shortened the sleeves on my Summer Blouse and I’m a lot happier with it now. I’m wearing it at this very moment.
- Melina very kindly sent me A Homemade Life and I can’t wait to dive in. Which is kind of funny because I’ve never read Molly’s blog.
- Erin also sent me a package which included a pack of coloured pencils. I thought that was so cute.
- I love this format. Apparently paragraphs intimidate me.

I like this format too! Sometimes life just doesn’t fit in succinct paragraphs.

LOL I like your format too. Paragraphs are intimidating. Segue from the previous one. Segue into the next one. Enough sentences to be a paragraph. Stick to one topic. I mean really. How can we texting/twittering folks cope?

Jane Eyre is my all time favourite book. I read it at least once a year. Glad you like it too.
Have a fab time on your trip.

Then I’ll leave my comments in the same format!
-Thanks for introducing me to ‘Weekend Sewing’ in your previous post. I checked it out this weekend and love the book.
-I just made hamburger buns from the recipes in ‘Artisan Bread in 5 minutes a Day’ and have never had tastier ones. I used the European Peasant Rye recipe, though you could use just about any in there.
-I adore Jane Eyre, though can’t seem to stomach Wuthering Heights.

I’m glad you liked the pencil crayons. You once made me a hand made card that had no colour. I just knew I had to remedy that immediately.
Score on the Cookie A class!

I too like your point-form format…
Yum – thanks for the link to the Pasta with Cauliflower and Feta recipe – it looks delish!
We’ve just returned from the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona where Jarvis Cocker was playing – I had really hoped to see him but other stuff ran over time (My Bloody Valentine – completely overrated!!) and I sadly missed his performance. I’m now doubly disappointed on reading your glowing endorsement of his new album!
Your Seattle-Portland-Vancouver trip sounds very exciting (3 cities I’ve long wanted to visit!), and I’m glad to hear you got a place on the Cookie A class. I know the trip is still a little way away but I hope you have a great time!

What an update! Great socks! Jane Eyre is one of my all time favorites too. Have you read Wide Sargasso Sea? It’s very interesting – a take on why Mr. Rochester’s wife went mad.

Playing a little catch up in blogland…
-I am jealous of your Seattle visit. I want to go so bad.
-Sorry about the house slippers. I have bookmarked your post about them so I can give them a shot myself.
-You didn’t like Slumdog? Hmmm.
-I want that Homemade Life book. I am hoping someone will just buy it for me it I mention it enough.
-Paragraphs also intimidate me. Too much structure involved. Ha.
