Something About A Fall Project!

Between my dissertation readings I have started up a new knitting project with which I have been procrastinating my studies a bit over the weekend.
Elisabeth gave me this beautiful Peruvian alpaca wool for my birthday and I decided that instead of adding another sweater to my collection I wanted to do a really long simple scarf. I wanted to use the linen stitch as it makes the knitting look more like it is woven and really flat and fabric like. It is much less fluffy and really brings out the qualities and different color in the yarn. It will probably take me a long time to finish, as this technique is quite time consuming, but hopefully I will be done by the time it gets really cold. 

Something About Another Place I Really Like!

Le Cercle Rouge is right next to my school, which is quite nice because it is such a nice little place to take a break, have a coffee and eat a croissant or other types of lunch. I love that it is always the same people who hang out there and that the bartender greets you in a familiar way when you order a coffee not to mention the colored espresso cups.

Something About A Place I Like!

I have found a little place I like to go. I like to sit in the corner and read or observe the life outside and inside the cafe. The coffee there is not bad as well, and I am sure I will spend many great hours here both inside and when the weather gets warmer and the terrasse.

Something About Blue!

Yesterday when I took a walk London felt blue.

The little chimneys reminds me of the roofs of Paris.

Something About My Weekend!

This weekend I had an absolute wonderful and relaxing time. I didn't have any deadlines hanging over me, and I enjoyed it to the full.
Yesterday I was home most of the day. I have been wanting chicken legs for the past week and I thought I would make a nice lunch since I had the time. When they didn't have any free range chicken legs at the supermarket I decided to do a roast instead. It is in fact the first time I did a roast like this and it might be a little rehearsal for Christmas where I may have to cook an even bigger bird, so it was nice that it turned out really good.
Today was another great Sunday. Like that past 4 sundays the weather has been amazingly sunny and as I was walking home I thought to myself that I could deal with having everyday grey if there was a promise that every sunday would be like this. A lot of my friends in Copenhagen posted pictures of a snowy Denmark but I am not the least jealous.
I decided to have a day without my computer (well at least until now), it seemed like a good idea considering the good weather. I managed to do quite a lot of stuff, I hang up pictures in our empty frames, which were a long time coming. I finished a homemade Christmas present. I went for a walk (More about that) and tried out a new coffee spot which was love at first sight. I also discovered the nice little sunday marked at Chatsworth Road, where I made a great deal buying tree flowered vintage bedsheets.
I also managed to bake a cake and go for a run. Quite amazing what there is time for without the internet to interfere.
Hope you all had a great weekend too.

Sometimes it is nice to see a house with color, there are too few of those here in London

Something About My Week!

This week I have been busy working on an upcoming exhibition. At now it seems that everything is going as it should so I am yet without stress. Therefore I also had time to do some relaxation. After all I am on a kind of Holiday.

Had coffee with Tea

Vincent and I went to Vux to have some delicious Vegan cake!
