Wow. I really didn't mean to take a, um, three month break from the blog? I have many posts planned, just have to gather my thoughts and hopefully I'll be spewing out some decent posts throughout this holiday weekend. I hope everyone had a good summer. I had a very good summer and will tell you about it later.
Thought my peace offering for being gone for so long would be some good ol' Friday Favorites, so here goes:
*Today, I made this egg dish that I originally saw on Angry Chicken's blog. Oh my, so very good. This is going to become a go-to recipe on those nights where I can't think of anything to make and don't want to put in any effort whatsoever.
*After wasting some time on Twitter this afternoon, I came across this recipe. I plan to make it this weekend and can tell already that it's going to be a favorite.
* I went a teeny weeny bit crazy this summer enhancing my indie dyer portion of my yarn stash. Actually, it really wasn't that crazy....I think.... Anyway, I hope to blog about all of of my purchases soon, but can I just tell you that I am totally, madly, crazily in love with A Verb for Keeping Warm. Oh.My.God. Amazing. I bought this colorway and am in heaven. It has become an almost completed Ishbel (yes, can you believe it? I still knit!) What really blows my mind is that the yarn is naturally dyed. I look forward to trying more yarns and colorways in the future.
* Speaking of Ysolda, I have been really enjoying reading her tweets and her blog as well as Connie Chang Chinchio's tweets and blog. There are so many designers that I really admire (too many to count in fact!), but these two have been the ones motivating me lately. They are both very inspiring....and prolific as well!
*Another fab designer, Jared Flood, has a booklet out! And it's fantastic!! Such beautiful, tasteful, classy designs. <sigh> another great inspiration.
*I have to add Satya's favorite book these days, Mary Had a Little Lamp. It is so adorable and we read it no less than 6 times a day. The illustrations are fantastic, and to be honest, I'm not even remotely sick of it yet! As I was pulling up the link for the book, I noticed some more of Bob Staake's (illustrator) books and they might've jumped in my shopping cart......
Ok, well there you have it, my re-entry to blog writing. I have some fun things to tell you so I'll be back soon!
Oh, since we all know that a blog post is nothing without a picture, here.....
