- roast lamb & felt birds
Lamb roast :)
As a rule I don’t cook – I love to bake, cakes & biscuits especially, but when it comes to making something for dinner… I never quite get it right. Different herbs & flavours, understanding what compliments what, which ingredients will be tasty and work well together? No clue. Recipes? Pft!
I made a roast for us last night & it turned out well, and even though it’s pretty impossible to stuff up a roast, I’m pleased & looking for more pats on the head :D
I finished the first of my felt birds last night as well, luckily the finishing isn’t too wonky because John picked up some nice red to go with the lamb. Two more to go & then I’ll start on some of the designs I’ve started sketching, mainly little decorative bits & pieces :) Embroidery is fun!

- vampire murder mystery
Flower… Holga with Fujichrome Provia
This picture just makes me think of vampire murder mysteries set in the regions surrounding New Orleans, or that movie with Cate Blanchett The Gift – I’m a sucker for books & movies with creepy supernatural themes :)
I’m reading the Sookie Stackhouse Southern Vampire Mysteries at the moment (& watched The Gift again the other night) so that would explain the association. I have to say I like the tv show True Blood more than the Sookie Stackhouse books (the show is based on the book), the books require no thought, an easy pleasure but at times they start to read like a romance novel written by an old lady… I know these things, I once attempted to read some of the romances an old flatmate would borrow from library in bags of 20 at a time.
- bonhams banksy auction
Lot 6 of the Bonhams UK auction of Urban Art is Banksy’s Morons depicting an art auction with the words “I can’t believe you morons actually buy this shit”… love it.
- fun with felt
Felt pincushion with french knots
I have some ideas & designs for pincushions I’m dying to try out – I haven’t worked that much with felt & my embroidery skills are very basic so I made a little cushion for a bit of practice. While I’m working on the design for the next one, I’m making little felt embroidered birds :) The plan is to make them into some sort of mobile or window hanging, but most likely they’ll sit around gathering dust or find new homes.

- police
Police station sign, Brunswick Street. Holga with Fujichrome Provia
I want to take a photo of this sign everytime I see it. I particularly like the location of the light leaks in this picture and the way they compliment the general atmosphere & mood from the cloudy overcast day.
I’m going to wait for a very sunny day, the kind with beautifully formed cumulus clouds & get some more shots. I’m interested to see them together, same subject with a completely different feel.
- away
John waiting for taxi to the airport. Taken with Holga on Fujichrom Provia 100F.
I bought this film in a pack of 10, so plenty of time to get used to it :) but these first experiments haven’t convinced me it’s worth the extra developing costs…
I have Holga taped up tightly but I don’t have the foam inserts in her at the moment that usually keep the film from winding too loosely & so there’s some major light leaks from when I unloaded the film. I like light leaks & what they add to some pictures but when the film is wound this loosely I think it the major cause of this dull washed out look. Having said that – I love the muted 70’s feel to this picture & that you can see the 4 from the film backing :)
I’m really disappointed that the photo lab I have been using wouldn’t cross process in C41 for me, so I’m looking for a new place to take my film – I’d even deal with the extra waiting to post them somewhere as long as I could be sure they wouldn’t colour correct the scans. Getting a scanner for 120 would be the best option but it’s not worth it before getting a new laptop that can handle the file sizes.
- Scatter Pig
I don’t know if I will end up posting anything of any interest with any kind of regularity, but I start this blog with enthusiastic intentions (I start a lot of things with enthusiastic intentions). I want to share my interest in knitting, photography, typography and design…
& this is sounding like a mission statement :) But really this blog is more for my enjoyment rather than the possibility of more than a couple of other people looking at what I’m posting. I love this format & plan to use this space as a record of ideas, photos I like, pictures of whatever I’m knitting/crocheting/sewing/creating, and websites I come across that I hope other people are looking at and appreciating as much as I do.
