All this cold winter weather made me think of wool embroidery, so I worked some anemone-type flowers onto some vintage wool fabric I had lying around, and voila- the result was this bag and matching case. It was rather therapeutic to work by the heater while looking out the window at the wind and rain.

Another cheering thing right now is the public library, which we visit as a family every Sunday. It's great now that the kids are old enough to sit down and read while Tom and I browse for books. Very civilised, don't you think? Anyway, on my last visit there, I found this graphic novel by Vanessa Davis: Make Me a Woman. It is brilliant, and I felt it completely spoke to my sense of humour. I recommend it highly.

Enjoy your weekend, lovely readers.

    Yes, I thought that book was hilarious- I liked it better on a second read- she certainly captures a specific life stage well.

    I love that book! Vanessa Davis does such great watercolours. You should check out Brecht Evans too – strange stories, wonderful watercolour comics.
