just back and just married

yup.

sorry went off radar a bit again.

still a bit jetlagged as got in from LAX last night and straight to work today and have my usual tribal fusion bellydance class with the awesome kim tonight. yikes!

while back home i crocheted alot - finished the heart baby blanket for amaya, a cozy for my new vaio netbook, and a shrug for my sis in law. attended my parents' 50th wedding anniversary and had my own halloween wedding. plus walked around on the beach and went to knott's scary farm!

will regale you with many photos once they are uploaded/available!

but i will warn ya'll that i drained a whole battery on just documenting all the handmade items around my parents' house - some as old as a three generations, from my great grandma, and still being used...

project

so i've started another new project for myself...a warm cozy hat out of the rowan bamboo tape, in a lovely dirty brown colour. hopefully i'll finish it tonight!

score!

i scored the loveliest tweed yarn yesterdy to make a nice hot water bottle cozy for annemarie seienstyle and her little puppies. started last night and it's so yummy! i know alot of my friends arent big fans of the debbie bliss but i do love her yarns!

bloody xmas

finally feeling a bit better...still really burning up with fever from the abcess on my rib, but i can move around a bit more! the doclady bandaged it up for me last night and told me to leave it, but i'd already bled through within 3 hours. luckily for me, she trusts me to take care of it myself because of all the body modification that i've done to myself in the past...just wish i could get an immune system so i can do more!!!

until then i'll have to satisfy myself with crocheting designs instead...
finished the jolly roger hot water bottle cozy for the new lil bro-in-law and have started on a nice aum version for my blondeboy. using nice bright blue and a deep fuschia with a bit of varigated thrown in. will be nice for him to take when he is off working away. altho hopefully he'll be getting some london jobs when cardiff finishes as i really really want him here at home to cuddle.

ok - now back to the christmas crochet.
have decided instead of crocheted sushi for the pink tree that i'm going to make black snowflakes for it this year...which means no matter how threadbare the poor thing is getting its going to have to last a couple more seasons!!!

cold feet!

went shopping for a new pair of cozy ugg-type slippers today on the way home from the gym...and they were all just too uncomfortable. just too structured to be cozy - too much like boots. which got me thinking...i used to always make crocheted slippers for everyone and wear them myself but somehow got out of the habit. so my next little project is to find some uber-warm and cozy fuzzy yarn and a sexy crocheted boot pattern and get going as the longer i leave it the colder my tootsies get!

o and not sure i'll be making it to any knitclubs this week...
on wednesday i have a little check up with lovely french doc to check he is happy with the nefertiti lift he did on me and thursday night there is a showcase on at the mill in soho that i said i'd go with the fiance to...then the weekend at the waterside!

and next week we are in milan to see the black keys and to get tattooed. so might not see all my knitclub friends for a few weeks.
o dear.

will miss you!
