I feel like I have watched a zillion movies lately, and by coincidence, I also feel like I've been getting a lot done. I can only conclude that movies are good for productivity.
My bread-making has been improving - look at the crumb on this loaf of 60% whole wheat!
Hoping to get the next loaf a little higher. And that's home-made strawberry jam in the background too. Had the good fortune to stumble upon the last of the strawberries I froze last summer, just as I ran out of jam.
Have also been knitting - trying again to make socks:
Self-striping yarn to make them look interesting without being difficult. Will have to learn to do an afterthought heel. Also, this scarf, seen here a few days after I started it last week:
is now complete! I left it to soak this morning, and will block tonight. And today I am wearing a shirt...
that I sewed up on the weekend from fabric I cut a zillion years ago, literally. I'm quite pleased.
All this courtesy of a bunch of old films, from Idiot's Delight to Grand Hotel to Of Human Bondage to Some Like It Hot. They don't make 'em like they used to!
