tania howells: jam tarts

This picture is awful and ofcourse, I ate all the jam tarts and could not take a second one so you will just have to take my word for it. I made them in a fit of busyness last night before knitting night. I love jam tarts! I have not had them since I was little and my mum would make them with the leftover dough from a pie. I have been thinking about them ever since...MMM!

Yestreday on top of havnig a lovely , long overdue lunch with Krissy and buying myself a new expensive british elle deco mag as a treat, there was a box on my desk when I got to work. It said "fabrics for Tanya". I have no problems wiith my name being spelled wrong if those 2 words are in front of it. They were from the amazing woman who is my co-workers best friend. She is the one who makes remarkable quilts and who I talked about here. She is moving and clearing up and thought I might like these. This table runner had me leaping up and down and embarrassing myself at work. It is FAB.

The One on the left looks like IKEA and the right is vintage- I love them. There were 2 more- one a kitcheny-scandinavian one with maps overlayed with fishes and foods and another more modern kitcheny one. I took a photo of the first one but it was all blurry. WOW- how kind- I was so grateful and exited to get this stuff. yay!

Kniting night seems to be a permanent thing and I am loving it. Last night we all had a good cackle over a movie we had all seen - 2 days in Paris. I had no expectations going in to see it and boy was I impressed. It was just so funny and so familiar somehow. I really loved it. And I believe Julie Delpy did it all on her own steam, directing, acting , producing etc- impressive!
