Good Reads: 91 Magazine

The last few days I've been flipping through a wonderful new online magazine called 91 Magazine. It's the latest project from one very talented Caroline Taylor, who also writes the lovely blog Patchwork Harmony and who runs an online boutique by the same name. She also has a full-time job! I can't imagine being able to accomplish so much, and so well. The premiere issue of 91 Magazine features inspiring interiors, unique craft projects, a helpful guide to vintage in Surrey, and it also includes a great article on the history of marmalade.

This week I've been sick and soooo sluggish. My head feels like it's deep under water. I just want to ball up in bed all day with a good book, which is what I've been doing when I have time. Right now I'm reading Jane Eyre. I know the general story, but I've never read the book. I'm loving it right now. I don't have a beautiful hard bound version, like these Penguin classics pictured below, but I would like to have that collection one day. Meantime, I'll daydream I'm in this bed above reading the lovely hard bound Jane Eyre. I could use some of that natural light too.

Three!

Last week Lois turned 3. Three!! She's such a big girl. Here she is turning one and two. I wish I had taken more pictures. Ah, I hate it when that happens--when I mean to take more pictures but only afterwards realize I didn't take very many! Her balloons are still a-float one week later. I was thinking of having a second little photo shoot. We'll see. I did get a handful of pictures of the cake, which was amazing!

Seeing in Color: Fall

The leaves are turn, turn, turning here, and it looks very beautiful outside lately. Lois and I collected leaves for her first homework assignment. How cute is that? Her first homework assignment! I received an email from her art teacher titled "homework" and thought, what could it be?!! Leaves. Easy homework. Beats calculus. I always like to look at fall leaves closely. They are soooo pretty. The photo above is with my iPhone, using Instagram. And the chill in the air makes me want to cozy up.

Back to Stitching

This past weekend I took another one of Jessie Chorley's workshops (Jessie pictured above). Of course it was dreamy like the first time.
