sweet home california

yes, i'm back home in orange county california and have to admit that i've been spending more time in shops buying hair dye and bleach than yarn!  my daughter is gonna multicolour dip dye my ends for me - wohoo, i can't wait...

i actually came over here travelling extremely light - its amazing now i'm an extra-small instead of an extra-large how little room my clothes take up!  so anyway, am travelling with just a ball of sockyarn and have been free forming away on little skulls mostly.  photos to follow if they actually become anything!

now, off to check the weather forecast and see if i'll be sunbathing again today. x

love life - but not about my lovelife.

i so love it when the differnt strands of my life collide!
realised tody that there are so many crafty belly dancers...
yes i know we work on our own costumes and hair and other accessories, but wow - the talent is amaxing and endless.

friday

friday is here and i'm sooo tired.
got a big big weekend and alot to do before i head off to croatia on thursday!
and i'm so conflicted as i want to go to cafe stitch at the wellcome as well as the bust craftacular tomoro...choices choices. and of course there is all the usual pre-vacation preening that needs to happen - like redarkening my hair, etc...

so i'm tired but also really excited as i've been thinking alot about crocheting nice soft wire jewellry and the lovely reirabbit brought in some bracelets she has and now i'm sure that i want to try it out...first with some cheapie shit stuff then the best ever ingredients that i can find! can you imagine soft lovely rose gold wire with deep black ebony crystals??? yum! so i'm busy clearing wip's to make room for new crafty bits.

so has anyone else tried this?

oo i can't wait - yummy tiaras and stuff!

tonight though will be spent working on my skully afghan...and maybe finishing off some more mario piranha flowers...

cowl free for now...

well, i started a cowl - one i found on ravelry that another crafty suicide girl designed and it was going to be lovely but then started thinking...i can't get my bandage wet, so how am i going to wash my hair? thought about booking a wash and blowdry at aveda tomoro, but i can't stretch my neck back so no way i can get my head in the bowl...hmmm. so i'm just going to keep piling on the bumble and bumble hair powder, twist the front into a quiff, and then put on a headscarf a la 1950s starlet...

...that way i can keep the skanky hair covered too!

but did also order a lovely hajib - i couldn't resist.
it's black with starbursts embroidered onto it. will arrive at my office too late for me to wear this weekend, but will come in handy for attending muslim friends' weddings and other events where i could feel more comfortable covered up.

so back to crocheting 12 pointed stars!
