It's wet, grey, drizzle weather not that dissimilar to a typical London autumn day. I feel right at home, except the heating isn't on. A day for handmade socks, tracksuit pants, and gentle sewing of hems by hand, followed by some knitting, perhaps some cups of coffee thrown in along the way. Today's Vessel Wednesday is utilitarian. A very cheap small timber bowl from Ikea which sits beside me on my desk. It holds simple gocco printed tags on linen (I use bookbinding linen tape) that I dip into whenever I'm needing a tag. I love them sitting there in a bowl - kind of like biscotti, only linen. I took about 100 photos today trying to get some that weren't grainy - the light in the house is making everything grainy. And then I gave into the grain, and if that is how the light is, I shouldn't try and manipulate it to be something other than what it really is.
what a perfect day, i love the grainy-ness :)

The sewing, knitting and the coffee sound blissful - hope it was a relaxing day.

Oh how I long to sit at a table with knitting and craft and buttons surrounding me..... I find your blog so inspiring, the sort of stuff I daydream about.
Thank you.
