I am reading:
I am watching:
As usual I am watching the current series of True Blood.
I have also started watching The C Word but have mixed feelings on this one.
My guilty viewing is the new Dallas series, I swear it is like a train wreck, you just can't turn away even though it is so very bad.
I am cooking:
Back into it this week after a two hiatus of holidays. At the moment I have soup bones on the go. I got a large back of meaty beef bones at the local butcher for $1. Can you believe it! The have been in the slow cooker overnight and are the stock is sooooooooooo full of gelatine and so shiny! I plan to make Beef noodle soup with liver dumplings. This is something I used to have years ago and remember it being very good for you and very nice so I will see if my memory can recreate it.
I am sewing:
The endless saga of my 40yo quilt! It is almost finished and I will devote a full post to it eventually.
I am up to wadding stage on it and have finished front and back.
I am also doing some pyjama pants for Nienna at the moment,.
This is the front of the unfinished quilt
I am knitting:
Again, for Nienna. I am doing a rainbow dress as a tunic top. Using purple and pink striped Bendigo woolen mills yarn and it is knitting up quite nicely. I just hope it fits!
Daughter Of Persia: A Woman's Journey From Her Father's Harem Through The Islamic Revolution
by Sattareh Farman Farmaian
I am really enjoying this book. Sattareh became a social worker after studying in the USA in the 1940's. She was an integral player in the changes in Iran's welfare system and provides a great insight into the history of this country.
