One of the artists featured in my earlier post about Poppytalk’s Handmade Studio Spaces was Lucie Summers {summersville}, who screenprints her own fabric which she then uses, among other things, to cover notebooks and magnets. I’m putting one these avenue notebooks on my wishlist.

Find her on Etsy | Flickr | or her Blog

cooking up a storm

Dreary rainy weekends are good for something ~ staying inside to cook. And cook I did.

After visiting the market in the morning, then the art gallery with the family, then the small ones’ soccer, and a grocery trip, I was all set for some goddess-like domesticity.

We cooked, ate and enjoyed:

cook_soup

This yummy soup ~ with some minor adjustments. One, I used minute chicken breast steaks and added pasta instead of the soup mix because it turned out I didn’t have any.

cook_cake

Served this apple and almond cake with custard, warmed up, for dessert.

cook_thaigreencurry

Hubby and I had this green curry for dinner (and yes, we made the paste ourselves too). Scrumptious.

cook_cookies

And a batch of these toblerone cookies are ready for lunchbox treats this week.

Need more ideas, check out Jemma’s recipe monday here.

 

 

 

stuff like this makes the internet so cool ~ happy monday

Did you know there is an entire group on flickr called Bench Monday. Every Monday, members take a photo of  themselves standing on a bench (with some variations on the theme) and upload it to the group.

I hope your Monday starts your week off on the right foot.

I love the look of polaroids so these polaroid notecards are now on my wishlist.

And finally, with the sad events of the past week, Erin from Leo on the Loose has been moved to create these notecards so you can tell someone how they special they are to you.
