20 Questions
Oh bloggity blog, I miss you. This post has been three days in the making! I figured since I've been away so much lately that an epic post was in order. I found this meme via Handmade and Homebaked by Peptogirl, who found it via Freckled Nest. If you want to play along, leave your link on Freckled Nest's blog in the comments!
1. Show us the inside of something cute This is the inside of the built-in cabinet in my new dining room, which is also going to double as my crafty space. Sigh. I love built-in cabinetry!
2. What's the last homecooking you had?
I've been making quite a few tasty things that I've been meaning to share with you. First off, I have been loving September's issue of Martha Stewart's Everyday Food. I made the skillet lasagna which was dee-lish and the whole wheat flat breads with lamb and yogurt.
I also made a batch of peach lassis from gorgeous native peaches that my friend Jess brought over the other day.
3. What do you miss? I miss seeing the ocean every day, I miss New Hampshire.
4. What makes you laugh often? My cats. (Cassie pictured, Hobbes, not pictured)
5. What's your favorite word? Plethora
6. What are you trying to quit? SODA, or at least soda that's flavored with high fructose corn syrup. This is easier said than done. I have a deep love for Coca-Cola in a can.
7. What's your favorite commercial right now? We don't have cable, but I saw this one while we were living at my parents' house this summer and I nearly died laughing every time:
8. Whose style do you dig? Many of my Flickr friends have fabulous style, such as:
Anna La La
Mame
and Made by Tess to name just a few.
9. Link to a great blog you've discovered lately... Oh, I've discovered a ton lately, so I'm going to link to a few new favorites:
* Shivaya Naturals
* Progressive Pioneer
* Food on the Food
* Plus all of the lovely ladies I've been meeting over the Vintage Swap
Phew...that should keep you clicking for hours!
10. What's the last craft you made? The pseudo-shibori scarf from my last blog post.
11. A photo of the last happy mail you got :]
Mail love from my college buddy, Evvy!
Pictured here, vintage knitting notions, tasty German cookies, yarn to be re-purposed.
She also sent an adorable tea set! Unfortunately one of the glasses was shattered, and the tea-pot has such deep cracks in it, I do not think it is useable. (Grr, post office). It's pretty to look at though!
This was cause for major excitement...
Squeal! A nice set of circular needles in a vintage case. Awesome!
Thank you so much Evvy, you are such a kind thoughtful friend! Your letter cracked me up!
12. Something you've got lately?
Matt bought this television on Craigslist:
I just purchased the Greens Cookbook with a gift certificate on Sunday.
13. What are you looking forward to? Opening night date with the hubby to go see Giselle on Thursday.
14. Post a recent snapshot of yourself.
15. Recent Favorite Movie? I can't think of any recent favorites. I saw Taking Woodstock for my birthday, and I liked it, but I wouldn't say I loved it.
16. Something you're working on right now? I'm working on a business plan for my dance company. I'm hoping to get fiscally sponsored this year under a dance advocacy organization here in Boston, and I'm trying to develop a clear picture of where the company has been and where I'd like it to go...
and I'm still knitting my Jaywalker socks.
17. If a movie were made about you, who would play you?
Audrey Tautou
or Alia Shawkat
18. What gives you goosebumps? My adorable hubby.
19. Share a new obsession. One word. GLEE! Finally a show that speaks to my former select choir, jazz choir, all-states past! Jane Lynch's hilarity is definitely a deal-maker. Seriously, that woman is hilarious.
20. What's the meaning of your life? To live each day like it's a gift, because it is.

Your answer to 20, great advice!
Memes are a lot better with personalized photos. :)
I have to agree with Heather, this was awesome with the photos.
I mentioned the Boston Ballet Company in my last email, and I had no idea you worked there.
We lived in Boston for the first 6 years of my life, and my parents took me to see my first few performances there. It was just magical.
Starting your own dance company, that is so amazing. I hope that you will keep us updated. I wish you so much success and joy with that, I am sure that it must be exciting and very time consuming :).
Thank you for including me on your list. I have been enjoying reading your blog everyday as well, and it is so great how many of us have found each other through the Vintage Swap
Have a great day!
I am loving GLEE too! :) It's hilarious! And Jane Lynch is awesome, agreed. Everything I've ever seen her in has cracked me up! It's always nice to read your posts, Miss Sarah! I still miss you! :)
SOOOOOOOO Sorry about the teaset, but glad the most important things made....... cookies and knitting stuff. Again glad it went to a good home, thank you for sharing about it on your blog. It makes me feel much closer to you guys by at least reading what's going on in your life...... LOVE the new place as well, going to have to make sure that I finally come and visit!!! Evelynne
Waht a fun catch-up post! Loved it so much. I am totally envious of your circular needle case. And your craft storage cabinet!
Number 20 - good advice for us all. Thank you for all the work and time that went into this post. Loved getting to know you a little better.
Plethora rocks. I assume you have seen the movie Three Amigos? "a plethora of pinatas"?
Love your answers - that built in cabinet is amazing!!!
