Rewatch

Because I'm not interested in any new movies or series at the moment (probably due to an Interstellar hangover) I'm rewatching Lighter and Princess, a Chinese college romance drama that I really liked the first time I saw it. It's like brain wash; I get rid of the aggravation over poorly-made productions by watching those I enjoyed enough to want to see them again. I'm also researching bad boy characters to find out what makes them so appealing.

For most women, it's the hope of redemption that makes anti-heroes like the classic bad boy so absorbing. With the right reason (like love) even the biggest jerk will gravitate toward a better path and personality, yes? I wish. In my experience people rarely change for anything, especially when they're loved. It's hitting rock bottom or having your world blown up in your face that usually create an opportunity for redemption and change. That said, sometimes it makes the bad boys (or even good boys) into monsters hankering for revenge.

My new work project requires me to create a group of realistic bad boys who hide behind their negative image in order to do what they want, and that's going to be challenging. You walk a very thin line when you use anti-hero characters, which can go overboard very quickly. I need to watch my step. :)

Stuff

After finding this Caron one pound skein of lovely peach yarn in my thrifted lot I raided my stash for two cakes of Mandala in Pegasus, which matches it perfectly. For practice and hand therapy I'm going to make another Worth Street Afghan with this free pattern , but this time I'll use the yarn that was recommended for it plus the one pound skein. I'm not quite ready to do the vintage/recycled linen quilt I had planned (still a bit too nervous about the idea), so I'm going to use some color therapy and make a quilt from these thrifted green fat quarters. I considered doing another Yellow Brick road patchwork pattern, but I might go with a split rail fence like this one.

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.

The Mercantile

If you don't mind walking 33K square feet in retail space, The Mercantile may be the vintage/arts store you'd enjoy visiting if you're ever in Orlando. I certainly did. Because it was busy I didn't take any photos in the store, but it's absolutely amazing and chock full of antiques and artisan creations, most of which were pretty reasonably priced. For $21.00 I invested in a picture of sailboats for the guest bathroom I'm redoing, and a fairy mystery jar of cool stuff. The jaw was hand-painted and decorated, and utterly charming. I think I wanted the jar more than the contents. As you can see the contents were both generous and pretty cool, too. I finally have some vintage gloves to use for my art quilter bingo challenge!
