biscuits 'n buttons ...

it's been a lovely week (and it's still only wednesday) of friends and good food ...

sunday evening we had a couples book club meeting ... we discussed the book "Lonesome Dove" which i highly recommend ... it's a great read ... not something i would ever have picked up on my own -- cowboys and cattle drives not being my typical reading material ... but this pulitzer prize winner truly earned it's rating as one of america's best novels ...

in keeping with the theme of the book, we had steak and beans, corn bread and parsnips, wild rice and salad ... and, for those of you familiar with the characters, we had Gus's buttermilk biscuits ...


these biscuits, served warm with butter and molasses ... oh my ... there's gotta be a law against them ...

yesterday, i was blessed to have five of my fiber friends from my UW program of last year (who could possibly forget 50 collages in a week for heaven's sake) for dinner and the evening ... we talked sheep and wool, art fairs and weekend outings, new projects and old ...

and today ...

today i had three dear friends for tea and lunch and we talked until time ran out and our "other lives" interfered ... pick ups after school and appointments beckoned ...

now lest you think ms. heart has traded in her knitting needles for a tea pot, i have found a few moments to be in the studio ...

i've made some sweet covered buttons which will find new life as hair bobbies ...


and remember the felted bag of last week, well it's done ...

and so darned pretty ...



... flowery lining ...


and ta da ...


a crocheted strap completes the picture ...

hope you have good friends in your life ...

'cause it can't be all work and no play ...
