Pretty arty biscuits
Find a Need, Fill a Need Taking the stress out of making gingerbread. I have constructed a Jingerbread Jig, so there is a guaranteed 6mm depth to every biscuit and they all cook evenly. The two strips at the sides are 6mm depth, connected at the top to a spacer that keeps them together but is held by loose screws so they can swing whatever width you like. The rolling pin rolls along them over the dough until that dough is a regulated 6mm thick, and then you cut the biscuits. For the temporary satisfaction of the bottomless gingerbready appetite of this house. I have perfected the recipe so its almost unbearably good, please do contact me if you’d like it.
Speaking of sweet things, how big is Rolly’s new bed! First time I’ve visited him since he had a tumor removed from his hip. His family are so happy that he will be with them longer that they couldnt get a bed big enough
A garment fabric pairing I’m liking. Both fabrics from mightymighty Spotlight. Lark Tee and Fremantle pants, I iron things when I sew them then never again.
Made a video! Here
Pretty fun making a vid, I have to say
Setting up for the vid. This is another study for a larger work. These are often way better than their subjects
Plan is to keep working it until I kill it.
Plan is on track
Setting it up, checking the stencil border design
Abruptly decamp to Granny Corner
At Zara. Time to ask a sewing friend…
Turns out sewing friends can be enemy
So much for her
This feels like a memory I think I have, where the air is a floating thing and there’s something sifting through it, like a blessing or a certainty that things will go on and that its special, to be here just now, right now, but back then too
I confess it feels good
Oversize quilted jacket from Frankie Shop. Spent hours cruising fabric sites for quilted parka style fabric and scouting pattern designs. HOURS. And more.
Readymade. I cant compete. Also I tried it on & it looked STUPID. So BIG, but I mourn the loss of a dream
Now for this
