I baked a batch of brownies on Tuesday after thinking about them all the way home. I think I have made brownies maybe 3 times ever, but boy I like them. I used the recipe on the can of cocoa, very rich!
I have been feeling rather amiless lately- with the blog, with crafting, with art - What's the point? Forgive me if this blog is a bit rambling and sort of spiritless these days because it seems to be that way from my end. I have been making piles of buttons though - for gifts at a wedding and for thr Rage in Kensington market, who sells them for me in town. They make me feel productive. We had a lovely bit of thunder and rain today and I think I can finally put away my down floor length coat. Must buy wine on the way to work for a retirement party, mustn't forget the optometrist tommorow. Perhaps we will treat orselves to Vietnamese food for supper...
Can I have a brownie??? That picture is torture. And I love that cup. Buck up it's Spring!! Love your blog!

What brand of cocoa? I've been looking for a better brownie recipe.
I know how you feel. Sometimes I wander around looking at all my crafty stuff, and I don't want to touch any of it. A bit of inspiration usually does the trick. A sunny day, an idea from a friend, or something pretty or cute I see on flickr. Hopefully you'll find some inspiration soon :)

Perhaps it's the time of year - feeling rather aimless myself. Your brownies look perky though!

I with you on this...its this time of year that is a real slog...not quite spring, not quite winter, do you put the coat away or not? grey dreary day after grey greary day...oh woe...Piles of buttons sounds nice, and so does vietnamese food. Yes, go an have a nice bowl of pho and I'm sure you'll be feeling downright chipper :) all will be better soon :)

brownies always make me cheery. don't worry about the mood, everything has its time to run and you'll perk up before you know it! easy for me to say as i start two weeks holiday, (sorry) but i get the glums often too. take care and eat nice food.......

Okay let me psychoanalyze a bit here :o). It's quite common to feel a bit low at the end of winter/beginning of spring. I remember that from my psychology courses. Now if I could only remember why???? Not too worry. I am sure spring is just around the corner to cheer you up and give you some inspiration. BTW...Those brownies look yummy!
