Two things today (haven't done it for a while :)):

My waxplant aka Hoya Bella is blooming - so pretty!


Sometimes I intentionally don't throw away things
immediatelly, sometimes I'm simply forgetful.
I love watching flowers withering and (except for the
paper fluff in my laundry..) I love the look of the tag
after I forgot to cut it up before the wash. It reminds
me of Rob Ryan's work, which I really adore (nothing
in compare to his work, of course! Just kind of an
abstract one ;)).

Two things I love today..


left: a ring, that is big enough at least to be worn on
my forefinger. Shall I keep it or shall I list it? Hmm..
right: a stack of fabric I've bought this summer. All
cotton or wool, except for the flowery one. I normally
don't like poly fabric, but it looks so gorgeous, that I
couldn't resist. They were all marked down, either rest
pieces or sorted out. Hope, I have enough courage to
sew myself something this winter.

Talking about winter.. is it also suddenly winter where
you are? It's kind of crazy to have 7°C just after 17°C
about two weeks ago.. (or was it three weeks ago? Time
flies too fast, that I cannot keep up!)


Anyway.. three weeks ago my son told and showed me,
how one of his friends always draws himself. I then asked
him, how he would draw himself, and also, how he would
draw me. These are the results. I was looking quite grim,
eh? And he said, my glasses are because I'm sitting too
much in front of my computer *nudge, nudge* LOL

Look at those shadows of the Calamondin (which is blooming
at the moment and those flowers have one of the best
scent!). Oh, how I love autumn...

This must be the most crazy diptych I've ever made.
How could I combine my foot with the lovely roses
(maybe with the reason that both smell - one good
and one not so good? *lol*). No, this photo only reflects
two things I (finally) remembered to do today - to cut
the roses and to take a photo of the imprint of the shoe
on my foot (the roses don't smell at all and my foot..
uhm, maybe a little bit.. hahahaa...).



No normal choir session today. The choir director cannot
come today, so my 2nd alto friends and I are going to
have our own session privately. I think, I'll bring my friend,
who provides her apartment for our meeting, a rose.

A sweet choir friend is celebrating her birthday today.
Each of us will bring a flower for her. So, today I cut
my first flowers from my own garden. A peony and a
rose (there were two roses on the branch that I've cut,
as the plant got it's care cut at the same time ;)). I've
read, that peonies are best cut as a bud, when they are
still close, but the color is already to be seen. They then
will stay longer fresh in the vase. Well, I hope it's true.
Btw she was the first one, who has 'inspected' my new
home right after I've signed the contract and encouraged
me, that it's good to have a garden (I was a bit in doubt)
and she's right! :)



Yesterday we made some fresh lemon curd again. My
son and his friend have prepared the ingredients and
I was the one, who stirred it ;) The jar - covered with a
piece of fabric (a piece from the time, when I've learned
patchworking 8 or 7 years ago) and decorated with an
illustrated tag and a glass bead - is perfect as a gift.

So these are the two things which I'll give my friend as
her birthday present today :)

12 hours

12 hours and 1 minute was the time difference between
the two photos below. A coincidence - almost scaring,
isn't it?



I've started to make my own yoghurt last week. On the
left photo I was making my third kilo of yoghurt this
morning. Later I wondered, which other basic food I
could make myself. I could make tempeh at home, but
actually I'd love to make oncom even better, as I can't
get it in any Asian store in town (and I need it to make
combro - one my fave food). Well, I didn't find any
recipe to make oncom, but found this yummy blog with
mostly Indonesian food :) Boy, my mouth was watering
and I haven't had my lunch!

Two Things (I've done) Today ^_^



A work in progress and ... yummy lemon curd!

Up till now I've been buying lemon curd in the shop
where I work. But ever since I saw Bee's post in her
blog (her citrus painting is as yummy!), I knew I'll
have to try it myself one day. This weekend we'll be
having our choir weekend, so I thought, it's a good
opportunity to try it. Mmmhh.. I'm looking forward
to Friday :)
