so excited!

i have a stitch date for next week with the lovely charity man from ravelry!!!
not seen him in absolutely ages, so we have LOADS of catching up to do...have really really missed him.
will probably be taking along my black work as still making bits and pieces for my bedroom window dressing.  i've found a few bit of inspiration, but also in my mind think i've got something good happening...stay tuned, xxx

back hooking

have picked up the crochet again...
...and have had quite a fruitful month.
i've been making jubilee bunting, pirate flag bunting, baby things, and lots of little black skulls to make some sort of window decoration for my bedroom now the ex has finally moved all his shit out and the room is all mine mine mine (well except when the new boytoy is staying over)

here's some tasteful jubilee bunting...also good for fourth of julys!

come join me and juicy lucy in the bedroom

so this evening i was supposed to do a hilal bellydance workshop, but am blowing it out for my friend lucy's birthday for a couple reasons...
1. there is nothing sexy at all about hilal bellydance!
2. i need to focus on my tribal drills for shows in december.
3. it's juicy lucy's birthday!!! and i gotta take care of her as she is going to be my personal bitch at THIS

yes, i shall be teaching granny square crochet and selling my buntings and scarves at the underground farmer's market over bonfire weekend.  if you have never been to an underground supper club even then you must come along and experience the food rave that is the house of ms marmite lover.  she is truly a visionary of the new DIY age.  she's turned her uber-top secret beautiful house location into the funnest restaurant experience i have been to in a long time - and what she is doing with her indoor house market is amazing and inspiring!

in fact, i just had to fill out a survey on some women in biz website and when it came to role models - the only person that came into my head was ms marmite lover kerstin herself!  if you know me in real life you know that this isn't something i would say lightly - as no one is as old or as experienced as moi in most things, lol!

please do come along.
hang out with me and juicy lucy in the underground bedroom market and enjoy!!!

lost my mojojojo...

its a grey day outside, and even though it's bright coloured afghans and lovely white walls here in my bedroom i'm just not really feeling inspired...or rather i AM feeling inspired but nothing is really grabbing me...well, nothing that is a carry around work on over a pot of tea later at drink/shop/do type of project. there's actually LOADS that i want to make, but don't have the right yarn for...or i've got the bits to assemble or stuff or finish but the projects just aren't mobile.

ugh. fuck.

and drink/shop/do don't list the yarns they sell so not sure what i could pick up there out of their nice little glass display counter of goodness. hmmm...ok, my time to go rummage some more through the box of yarn behind the door to see what i come up with. will check back with ya'll later.

i really want to make something for my anne-marie and gabriel that i'm going to be staying with in stockholm next week but i'm not sure what...i especially need to make something for gab as he's givng up his bedroom for me - how sweet is that? i usually just live n sofas when i'm in scandoland so this is quite a step up. it needs to be rewarded. he'd probably like a laptop bag made from recycled plastick bags...but not sure how portable that would be to work on.
hmmm.

maybe i'll go back to my ideas of making little hairpolice amigurumis!
