Muesli

It's the first time i made it! Though i prefer the taste of soaked muesli, I'm not sure if i like the time needed to do so. But the fact that every bowl and utensil i used to make it could be put back in the cupboard trumps the previous problem, i think.

the weekend

can winter really be over? maybe i'm not yet convinced. this week, i finished a pair of merino leggings, cut from an old sweater and waiting for its cuffs for about two months.


in truth, it was a classic spring weekend, with a lot of sun and a dose of rain, and finally some regular weekend routines again. raspberry scones in the morning, a new batch of bread baking with flax seeds and seven grain cereal, and a pizza dinner. brett made me a fig-pear-goat cheese one which i topped with local watercress

and, these are a pair of rustic bunny ears which Eily made yesterday....I couldn't resist.

Sunday morning

while the boys went birding, i spent the weekend morning trying out a blanket stitch on an eyeglass cover, first with my own handpsun which was incredibly lumpy, then with embroidery floss, then i gave up and machine stitched it.


these little owls line the inside and hold the wool stuffing in:

the finished case:

i also made a book, after a very long interval, for a dear friend; watched the sprouts grow; and ate too many licorice all-sorts. a decadent morning.

the lentil sprouts made it to last night's salad with carmelized leek and potato soup and delicious little rolls from 101 cookbooks, found here, and i say delicious because they were grainy and healthy too! (made up for the all-sorts accident.)
