ooo...i've got today off as the lovely fishwhiskers is here in london this weekend with me and we are off to get tattooed and eat yummy vegan indian food with the fiance rafrasilecs at my favourite place on drummond street. drummond street is amaxing - tis a whole little street full of indian restaraunts and most of them are veggie! with a lovely sweet shop too...so i'm lounging around in my blue spangly knickers and she's got plum dye on her head - i'm jealous! think i must do something with my boring brown classic asymmetric bob soon!
and of course this morning has already been full of crochet, coffee, and bloody marys!
i've managed a bright flouro coral coloured crocheted easter egg to add to the pile already overflowin my lovely wooden bowl that i got in namibia...mmm...namibia...i'm so missing africa...and am tempting myself by thinking i'll tag along to the gambia with fishie when she goes at the end of march - as i've already got the dates booked off...maybe kerrching would want to come along too?
could make it a little stitchy adventure, lol...
oky - off to sort ourselves out, put some dreads in her hair and we are out of here!
o and i so want to make this buddha!

another week another bit of crochet...
...photos to follow!
so my overstuffed pop hearts were a success with the fiance and also my daughter, so much that she has asked me to make some for her but bigger out of chunky yarn for her new place. i used them on the windowsill of the secret wonderland valentines dining room surrounded by candles and flowers.
the meal i cooked was luscious too if i do say so myself.
gumbo is way better for the soul than any chicken soup ever could be and i hope that it helped to get me a nice warm place back in the fiance's heart. it seems it as at least now we are talking. not about anything important, but talking. which doesn't make me anymore stressed, so am back to the doc today for some more prozac!
because as much crocheting lots of little easter eggs for yarnbombing is keeping my hands busy, my heart is still needing some reassurance...and as i'm at the doc tonight that means i'll be on the wrong side of town for juno - sorry girls! i miss you.
o and i tried to find cafe stitch last night - but the costa coffee closes at 7pm?
thought it was open all night as part of the hotel...

sunday nutroast day?
i really really really don't know what to do and whatever i do is wrong. he's my best friend and my life and i feel horrid and useless, so bad that even the vicodin isn't helping anymore. i'm trying so hard just to get on with things and keep myself busy with gym and crafty bits and have even started accepting dreadlock hair appointments again (ssshhh!) but still the tears are starting to slip out, thank little baby jesus for lancome waterproof blue mascara.
o and nothing went to plan yesterday!
my daughter and i both had womanly monthly pains so she put off moving into her new studio flat. john bloody lewis refused to deliver my new mirrored bedroom furniture up to the 4th floor.
no one in the mood to go to trader vic's for mai tais so we ended up at strada with their lovely fizzy pink...BRUT DI PINOT NERO ROSÉ, Ruggeri Veneto, yum!
so not a total loss. just wish i was meeting my lovely fiance today for sunday lunch.
need nutroast. maybe that would make things all better?
not that i have an appetite. stress diet means i'm back wearing my jeans with ease.

24 years ago today i had a fresh c-section scar!
the partying has really continued, altho i can't say that it has all been happy days again this week. my life is still so up/down that i don't know what to do about it anymore...so just sitting tight and waiting it out (with bottles of champagne and vicodin!). tonight is my daughter's 24th birthday so i'm sure there will be lots of celebrating...also because she's just moving into her new studio flat today! so birthday and housewarming.
her new flat is down shoreditch, so i'm definitely expecting to see her at the hoxton knit! and i'm sure that my friend kay will be back too. i think she agrees with me that it's our most favouritist stitch and bitch group so far...but i think i'll be back at iknit again this thursday - fingers crossed that there is space for both of us! its seem to just get more and more popular, and rightly so - the guys that run it are so lovely and the location is great.
o dear now i'm even more torn, lol.
but i know that while things are still so unstable in my love/home life that i'm very grateful for all the love and kindness that the hoxton girls have shown...still think i need an extra friend with me though to chaperone my feelings. my fiance is my life and my best friend and everything else and we've shared everything 100% so its sooo hard to do anything without him there.
o dear please don't read that as some weird whatever condition where you go psycho for the other person! i just love him to bits, that is all.
okay, enough of cherie sharing time today - sorry and thanks for listening! am off to create more skully washcloth presents for the hoxton girlies!

love it to death!
finally had the time and space to lay out all my skully squares last night...thinking 77 is the magick number for this blanket. altho it looks way too pink to give to the fiance as a moving in present (who knows where or when with everything happening right now) but i guess all the reds and pinks are quite valentiney and will go well with his proper big red oxblood chesterfield chair. but just to be safe i've been crocheting deep darkish red and purple day of the day squares to add into the mix = which will leave me a few extra to use as washcloths and for a bit of graffitti.
i may try again to do a bit of bombn' on my way to work if its quiet...
or around hoxton tonight. i wonder if the knitters are meeting at juno still later on> x
PS - is anyone planning on going to this valentines crafty night at the make lounge ?
it looks quite fun and we can make anatomically correct heart pincushions!
how voodoo is that, lol

o what a weekend!
that was surreal for sure...
started out friday quite drunk on red wine as all the directors were out of the office...what is funny is even though we are supposed to finish at 4pm on a friday we all still hung out drinking and playing pool and talking shop til i had to catch my train. the fiance was there too - his job thing is bad (but i think its for the best) and he's officially out lookng now - so if anyone has any digi-wigi-doo-dah head of production type jobs please let us know!
as he was there and as well as losing his job his house was also broken into the same day, we had NOther bottle of wine, and i'd had some codeines for my neck so was quite wiped out by the time i got my train to bristol to stay with fishwhiskers...still i managed to make more skully squares on the ride, but in the end we didn't manage to yarnbomb bristol at all...guess i'll have to go back in the spring to string up my skully graffitty all over like little fresh blooms.
but that seems a long long way away. i reckon i got the last train into london last night! the streets of london were so pretty and snowy. my daughter and i had a nice drink then at midnight decided we needed nibbles so went out to yarnbomb and buy chocolate and chilli crisps (still my fave!) but instead ended up building snowmen with strangers. sooo fun!
snow though meant that pretty much all transport was down all day in london, so my office was closed...been working from home which means i'm home at a decent time to settle in and continue all my finishing of bits and body parts i crocheted this weekend...i managed to make:
