Monday Crushin'
Monday, January 9, 2012 at 9:39AM When I crush on something, I fall hard and I quickly obsess.
Here's what I'm crushin' on these days.
Scarf: I read about it on Chookooloonks and promptly put it on my Christmas list. If you see me, I'll probably have it on. It's soft and the color is deep. There's a million ways to wear it. However because it's sheer, you won't see me wearing it as a dress. No one wants to see my bits and pieces these days. That ship has sailed.
The Cook's Illustrated Cookbook: People, I'm obsessed with Cook's Illustrated. No joke. I'll say it again: they could make shit taste like fillet. And I'd eat it with a side of vomit if that's what they recommended. You need a cookbook? You want just one? Get this one.
Clementines: I'm finally at an age where I know these cuties have a period of deliciousness. Eat them now and savor them. Because when their season is up, it's like eating tomatoes in the winter. They suck.
Flannel robe: If I could wear it to the grocery, I would.
Quilting: It's winter, so I want to be under a blanket all the time. And what's better? A homemade blanket. Right now, I'm obsessed with Oh Fransson's work. If I ran into her, I'd blush and stumble all over myself. I can't decide which of her patterns to start next: Sparkle Punch or Mod Mosaic. But one will be running through my sewing machine. Mark my words.
Songs:
Adele: I'm still head-over heels obsessed with this woman. It's almost sick. I think we'd be really good pals.
Lose Yourself : I never said my crushes made sense...
Photography crap: VSCO presets for ACR. I have no words for these presets other than: I love you. Hard.

I'm loving your glasses! they are so cute! My five year old (tomorrow!) loves Adele. Kinda funny. But he's got good taste in music. :) I have yet to answer your email about the 365 project...I will. ;)
I've been playing with VSCO this past week too. Funny, I've been meaning to message you about them. Spill it - what are your faves? I gravitate to Kodak Portra 160+. Don't know why. It just speaks to me.
teehee. now i want a scarf. in that exact color. or maybe yellow? does it come in yellow? yum.
and well ... you already know how i feel about VSCO. happy sigh.
I am also digging Cook's Illustrated and cooking is my stress buster. You have such adorable kids by the way.
IS. THAT. NOT. THE. BEST. SCARF. *EVER*??!
So glad you're enjoying it. Thanks for the kind shout-out!

Cook's Illustrated is my JAM. I made a potato soup from their latest issue. I got to see Christopher Kimball and Jack Bishop do a talk out here and I got to be part of a chocolate tasting. They signed my copy of "Baking Illustrated". I had the reaction that I think girls must have had for the Beatles way back when.
