I'm in a great mood tonight, not the least because I heard from a dear college friend who lives in Islamabad that she and her family are all okay, though they live a mere two blocks from the big apartment building that collapsed. What a relief!
Less momentously, my library has swelled a bit in the last few days...
Scarf Style is securely on the shelf, the rest are on the way via the slow boat from Amazon, courtesy of Ms. Joy Olivia! I'm so excited to read On Beauty, I, well, I just can't hide it. I'll try to retain control though.
Except... someone's going to have to really encourage me to exercise restraint in starting Lady Eleanor immediately. As you can see, I have many projects to finish and must get through some of my stash before I can buy new yarn. My name is Jessica and I have a chronic starting problem. Lust is a powerful thing.
And speaking of lust, have you seen this lemon poppyseed waffle recipe from The Food Palate (swabs drool off keyboard)?
And yes, the rumors are true... I was in the studio audience of Martha Stewart's morning show today! She gave everyone in the audience a free copy of her new book, so I guess this is another addition to my library:
The show was fun... an interesting experience, though. More thoughts on that another time. 'Til then, take care of yourselves, and each other! Oh wait, wrong daytime TV personality!
Posted by jess at October 10, 2005 11:37 PMi was brushing my teeth when i heard "jessica, from brooklyn." i just knew it had to be you...and there you where on the t.v. with ms. martha herself.
i was a great morning treat for me!
I swear you are going to be on every show on tv soon, there will be some sort of drinking game named after you...take a shot every time you spot jess!
Thanks for reminding me of Zadie Smith's new book, I have her first two and dont want to miss out on the new one.
Posted by: yahaira at October 11, 2005 3:27 PMOh, I just got that CD this weekend, it is wonderful! I wish I could have seen you on tv, since I spotted you on the food network:)
off to drool on the waffles!
Posted by: Joelene at October 11, 2005 4:02 PMI know what you mean about Eleanor - every time I see one finished, I have to physically restrain myself from running out to the yarn store and getting the materials into my hot little hands as soon as possible.
There's Jess! Chug!
Posted by: eunny at October 11, 2005 4:30 PMOn Beauty is great! I liked it as much as White Teeth even.
Posted by: Doug at October 11, 2005 4:57 PMYou may want to give another look to Silk Garden for Lady Eleanor. Craftaholic did one (check out her 6/17/05 entry; she has no links to her finished works). She did one in Silk Garden and it's beautiful.
Posted by: kellyt at October 11, 2005 5:52 PMYou sound like a superstar with all your studio audience experience! Was Martha humbled at all? Did she do good crafting?
Posted by: MeBeth at October 11, 2005 8:16 PMHeya, You should seriously make those lemon and poppy seed waffles this weekend. They are so easy, and the results are so good. If you dont have a waffle maker you could always make them into pancakes - buttermilk pancakes mmmmm. Just reduce the eggs to one as well as the baking powder/soda.
I am looking forward to reading On Beauty as well
Posted by: saffron at October 11, 2005 8:19 PMGosh, I get all slacky about checking your blog and then come to find out you were on Martha! Color me jealous! PS -- I'm glad you found something nice for your b-day. :)
