the newest sari ribbon colours - I have wound some out in readiness for use - it's the ironing that takes the time. Forest and Iron Ore and the greens - I love that when you get inside each hank there is such a myriad of colours and each hank is different so you never know and I never know what they are sending me anyway - it never seems like what I asked for. I guess that is what makes each hank unique...
The first page of my mew theme - all woven and stitched
and this is the back and now they are blanket stitched together. I like to use blanket stitch - it is sort of friendly.
One of my favourite cook books and I have just cooked up the Oxtail recipe on page 162 - a big favourite of ours - for tomorrow as it has to sit overnight especially to remove all the fat but also to develop the flavour. I ahve been a fan of Stephanie Alexander for a long long time.
I bought this a few weeks back - my latest bedtime reading - fabulous salades - just about time for bbqs and salades.
Another gorgeous book full of images to die for - we haven't been to Ireland but we must before too long.
Shelagh sent this wondrful book by Stephanie Redfern - she has been so lucky to go to a workshop and see her books in the flesh. Shame.
Waiting for the rugby soon - the All Blacks vs South Africa. Here's hoping.....
Gorgeous sari ribbons and I love your woven and stitched piece. I take favourite cookery books to read in bed too, even though I am trying not to think about food!! Hope you get the rugby result you want.
ReplyDeleteI agree, beautiful colours if the sari silks. I've never seen these colours over here as far as I can remember. Hope the rugby's good.
ReplyDeleteHello! on Suday Dale, looking forward to seeing your new sari rbbon project back and front look great. The only thing I find about Sari ribboms is the ironing, I know I don't have to iron them but like them that way. Love Stephnie Alexander's book, must shot myself one.
