Hot

Black as the devil. Hot as hell. Pure as an angel. Sweet as love. This is my morning sip, sitting next to the cheese and tomato that will make up the rest of my breakfast.  Good times.

FO Report: Corona

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes! Headless photos of my new love: Finished this baby on Sunday, while M and I were tucked up on the couch, each wrapped in a doona and each slight-to-moderately hungover. I tried it on and decided it was far too tight and I was a fool of a knitter, […]
