Sun

Branches

June flowers

Hope you've had a relaxing weekend.

Here are some pictures from mine:

a) a new tote bag, screen-printed by my friend Richard – I bought it as part of a special sale of his work for a fundraiser and am so glad I did – now I can carry the sun's rays around with me.

b) some embroidery-in-progress for a new batch of project bags for Loop London.

c) sweet and tiny little flowers outside the front door. The only flowers growing in our garden these days, with the exception of dandelions, who continue to appear everywhere with brazen steadfastness.

And in other weekend news, I baked this lemony loaf for some vitamin c goodness, 

Tom and I finished the latest season of Orange is the New Black (after binge-watching the lot on Netflix) – what an amazing show – so funny and tragic and moving,

And I discovered this very sweet Swedish knitting podcast – it involves philosophical discussions, coffee, biscuits, and colourful hand-knits. I had it playing on the laptop while finishing a couple of projects - and highly recommend it to you if this kind of thing is your cup of tea.

    Love the Swedish podcast and all the beautiful Nordic landscape and homey images- even without understanding what they are chatting about:)

    I made your lemony loaf yesterday and it was absolutely delizioso (I added home-made limoncello) so thank you Melissa.
    (I’m a new reader of your blog and I think it’s really lovely)
