Hello there. I'm writing from my craft room, which is now technically my office. And craft room (minus the sewing machine). And guest room. I needed a change from the old cave-like office, so last night I wrangled the old school teacher's desk down to the basement and brought up the white table that used to live in here. Today has been so overcast that I can't manage a decent photo of my new workspace, but here are some pictures of other things:
We're not doing anything. They're making plans for later destruction. Of what, I don't know, but I'm guessing I'll find out soon enough. Look at all those pointy ears! Having one cat instead of a pair of cats now seems unfathomable.
I made this for my afternoon tea:
It's soy yogurt (plain, unsweetened Silk brand) with a little bit of powdered sugar, ginger, and blackberry jam. The jam was from Taryn and got lost (unopened) in the sea of condiments in my fridge door, so I was really excited to find it this afternoon. I baked the yogurt for twenty minutes, because I keep thinking that it will change the texture -- which it does slightly, but not enough to justify heating up the oven. Next time I'll be happy with just the yogurt and the jam -- maybe mix in a bit of stevia if it's not sweet enough.
At the start of the summer, I put my green ivy plant out on the back step. I wanted to have other things in my plant hutch, and I was tired of its constant demands to be kept alive.
I brought it back inside today. It's gone a bit. . . autumnal. I wonder if/how long it will stay like this? It was green all last winter, so it must be the low temperatures outside rather than the short days that have done this. Neat.
Hi - I was wondering if you have an RSS feed? Very pretty blog btw :)

Baking soy yogurt? That is a BRILLIANT idea! I believe I will try to come up with a creme brulee recipe based upon this... thank you for the idea!

Thanks for the idea about baking soy yogurt. It does look yummy. Can't wait to see pictures of your craft room, I love the one you had in UK.
