Finally some Baking

 

This is from a great book I borrowed from the library: Carpathia Cooking from the Heart of Romania. Its a yoghurt and apricot cake which is fat free and uses whisked egg whites to help with rising. The arrangement of the apricots is quite pleasing. 

Noro Knitting

 

Knitting a snood from this very interesting self striping wool from Japanese company Noro.

Finally Some Architecture

 

The very grandiose classical archway to Robert Gordons College in Aberdeen. Archways provide a great opportunity for architects to go nuts with a bit of Roman inspiration. An entrance arch provides security and drama for what is beyond. I feel an archway drawing project coming on. 

Lovely lilies

 

I was really delighted when these lilies I bought from the supermarket last year reappeared in the pot better than ever before! I love exotic flowers.

Fuzzy Jumper

 

I am obsessed by cable knitting, but mine often goes wrong. This is the good front bit of my jumper I am working on, excluding the goofs above and below. The colour is a greeny grey and it is fuzzy and baggy. Now also photo of completed jumper!
