First Things First – Uskglass | de minimis
https://stitchthisdarling.wordpress.com/2011/10/17/first-things-first-uskglass
First Things First – Uskglass. October 17, 2011. Posted by Fiona in Craftiness. Look what I did. This is one of the big things I missed out on telling you about in the last few months – in August, I published Uskglass. Do you remember the green sample hat. I christened ‘Strange’? It was originally designed around the book. Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell. I’m a bit in love with slightly slouchy hats with a deep brim at the moment. There’s at least one more on the way. Watch this space. A Year In Books.

LLM | de minimis
https://stitchthisdarling.wordpress.com/2011/10/20/llm
October 20, 2011. Posted by Fiona in Edinburgh. It’s hard work, this LLM business. The content is highly technical, and assumes a good deal of prior knowledge. For my politics module, International Relations Theory, I started off not understanding any of the technical language and having to sit down with a dictionary and try and work out what this means:. Oh, but it’s such good fun, though. In the last five weeks, I’ve dredged the depths of GCSE History (League of Nations, self-determinat...I feel signif...

Underwater | de minimis

December 2, 2011. Posted by Fiona in Breaking the fourth wall. 8230;That’s a comment on how wet it is up here, by the way. It’s been raining horizontally on and off for about a week. I was walking down to the library about ten past eight this morning. You know, when it’s got to the point where you’re just following your feet, and you’ve stopped noticing things around you? It was World AIDS day yesterday, which I assume accounts for it. 1 Lucy - December 2, 2011. Fiona - December 3, 2011. You are commenti...

Booklist | de minimis
https://stitchthisdarling.wordpress.com/booklist
Oh, and I have an unholy love for a certain type of detective novel. (Could you tell? I have as yet not dared read anything by Ian Rankin because I know what happened when I discovered Minette Walters and it bore more than a few similarities to a stampede. Death du Jour – Kathy Reichs. Frost at Christmas – R D Wingfield. Nightwatch – Terry Pratchett (twice! The Mousetrap and Selected Plays – Agatha Christie. Pride and Prejudice – Jane Austen. Well Schooled in Murder – Elizabeth George. I like all these🙂.

The Satanic Verses | de minimis
https://stitchthisdarling.wordpress.com/2011/11/07/the-satanic-verses
November 7, 2011. Posted by Fiona in Big things. I’ve just gone onto Wikipedia, and found out the plot of Salman Rusdie’s. Of course, I’ve heard of the book before – who hasn’t? It’s practically synonymous with Rushdie’s name, with controversy, with all kinds of things – for the last few months, there’s been an exhibition about banned books at the National Library of Scotland, and I’ve gone round at least three times since August. Was all over it, that and. Lady Chatterley’s Lover. Other things I have fo...
