You know, the opposite of work. (Both are occurring this weekend, but the not-work is more fun to photograph.)

Boh likes to “hide” behind or underneath the blanket on my bed. He also likes to chew on it, or pretend to chew on it, as a way of getting my attention.

I see you.

Slow-roasted tomatoes and raspberry [...]

Lots o’ pictures today — I have a (digitized) pile of shots (like this one) to share! Yesterday, the wheel won out, and rightly so. I may have spent another hour and a half spinning last night. I’m still breaking the yarn every so often because I haven’t quite balanced the pull of my bobbin [...]

We did a lot of playing in the kitchen this weekend, which, when I think about it, is pretty much what we do every weekend. This time, though, we remembered the camera (and the blog) BEFORE completing the eating. (This is key.)
If you’re here for knitting, you won’t find any today. I am hoping to [...]

Nope, I didn’t knit this — but someone did. This slouchy, sheepy cardigan is a find from my new favorite thrift store in town. The sweater has been clearly loved — a few small holes, some evidence of repair, a missing button, but I just could not leave it to languish on the hanger. This [...]

In my desperate search for a heart cookie cutter, I came across a few other shapes that I simply could not bear to abandon mere days before the [...]

I have a whole slew of unrelated (or maybe loosely connected) photos: knits in action, kitchen adventures, knitting mistakes… Hmmm. I promise NOT to name this post something about the letter K.
Friday:

Bolero Jacket in action. I feel like I read a lot from folks about how sometimes knitting is not super wearable, and my blog [...]

Apologies for my kindergarten-esque approach to blogging this week. I’m going to chalk it up to the fact that my brain is tired — first “real” meeting with my committee this morning. It will be fine, but the meeting does have the word “exam” in the title, and I’m still a tad nervous.
Onward to the [...]

Titled for you, Champ.

This is one of the most delicious things that has ever been prepared in my kitchen: a roasted butternut squash and carmelized onion galette. Recipe can be found here, at Smitten Kitchen, where the photos are always drool-worthy and the deliciousness is routinely replicable. Thanks, Deb.
I’m so close to finishing my June [...]
