do you like the new header? it's inspired by this image which I created based on the embroidered bag on my flickr page.

This morning I was waiting for my takeaway sfw when I spied a girl staring intently at the top of her cappuccino. She took out her camera and took an extreme close up of the frothy perfection. It made me wonder what she blogged about other than good coffee...

The lavendar is blooming

I know, I know it's a pretty lame attempt at growing lavendar but I was happy to get it through its first week alive so now that it's finally blooming I'm thrilled.

Look out, it's another knitting work in progress. A throw for the couch, knitted with 3 different balls of yarn in garter stitch. Who knows how long this will take to finish!

Update on the tomatos

Three new tomatos this week. They look quite big here but they're about the size of a pea.

And one for me

I'm loving these headbands, you can whip one up with a ball of wool and a couple of hours. So easy and so warm.

Pocket Tote

Another tote done. This one is based on 2 patterns from The Crafter's Companion. There's a large pocket on the inside which flips out and the netire bag can be folded up into the pocket. Great to have on hand when a shopping urge strikes.

Headband #2

The second headband is done.

Another Tote

I love this bag. I made it to sell but am thinking of giving it as a gift. It's lined on the inside with the red fabric and has little pockets inside too for a phone and keys. The embroidery on the front is based on an image from a fashion magazine.
