Watch:
Starting with Downton Abbey season 2. It is hard not to devour it like a box of chocolates because it is SO good so far.
Read:
A history of the real American heiresses who invaded Britain during the Victorian and Edwardian periods. Such a fun and interesting read. I love the little black and white photographs that are scattered throughout the book.

I have been eager to try some of the recipes from this book. If I can't be in Tuscany, at least I can eat the food.

Meet my new spindle. I am so excited to learn how to use it and begin my spinning journey. Right now, I am reading this wonderful book on the subject.
I am hoping to get a big chunk of knitting done on my two sweaters, if I can resist the urge to start on something new. We'll see. These little free kits from Mollie Makes magazine look tempting.
Before heading to NYC for a weekend of sightseeing and eating (and hopefully, yarn shopping!)
It sounds like you have an awesome vacation planned, especially the spinning! Have fun!

ReplyDelete(Love the green sweater!!! I've GOT to get yarn for that sometime! YUM)
Sounds like bliss! I brought Downton Abbey to watch on our vacation but so far we've been so exhausted by the end of each day we've been going to bed 15 minutes after the kids!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful wonderful holiday (and that you will show us you yarn when you get back)!
Wonderful plans :) I've just started reading the same spindle book too!
ReplyDeleteExcellent itinerary! Your new spindle is like a work of art ... I'm sure you're going to love working with it and create some beautiful hand-spuns. Enjoy every minute of your holiday.
