Reading:
The Craftsman, Richard Sennett
The System of Objects, Jean Baudrillard
Evocative Objects, Sherry Turkle
The Practice of Everyday Life, Michel de Certeau
I’m only reading a little bit of each book at a time, having trouble committing. I’ve had to create a timetable of reading, much like my son’s A level revision timetable, just to make me do it. It’s not that I don’t like it, but I prefer making, so will always pick up my sketch book or sewing before the book.
Listening:
The Kings of Convenience
Bon Iver
Dan Whitehouse
Stylusboy
Anja McCloskey
I’m listening to Bon Iver over and over again, but punctuated by the others in an attempt to not be so obsessional.
Playing with:
Footprints
Bits of silk
Water soluble fabric
Bondaweb
Water soluble fabric keeps getting thrown about the table because it won’t do what I want it to. Bondaweb is marvellous and keeps the bits of silk from fraying.
I should really be sewing the footprints, but get distracted easily.
Baking:
Chocolate cupcakes, with sprinkles that won’t stick to the topping.
Scones
Chocolate orange cookies
Eating too many choc orange cookies. Bloody delicious!
