rain rain go away...

i want to be renegade renegade today!

so i am now toying with the idea of tying my smaller crocheted garlands to the inside of an umbrella and just standing around on brick lane selling my wares that way.  

i'm also wondering if i could add this somehow to a raqis tanoura costume - hiding the crochet under the skirts and lifting layer by layer to reveal crocheted halloween and day of the dead skull items...
still. probably. not. best. for. the. rain.

but just imagine a combination of:
CROCHETED PIRATE BUNTING and long flowing layered skirts!!
Crochet pirate bunting

also guess i should look into getting a proper indoor stall...ho hum. doesn't feel quite as fun or punk rock.

december raqs!

IMAG0235

the last few weeks have been busy - busy bristol bellydancing, busy with xmas nights out, and busy being bitten by the flu bug. ugh!

so went to a fucking amazing tribal weekend in bristol, and didn't actually crochet a stitch, although i did yarnbomb every pub that i was in! ( no photos sorry )

the first night we were there, and one of the main three reasons for the trip was the tribal vitalogy weekend put on by viktoria pearl boheme at what used to be the junction on stokes croft. the venue wasn't very large and within the first hour was sooo packed out it was impossible to move, but i still made a few visits to the souk where i scored some a nice little dread fall in colours the same as my hair and already adorned with beads and rings - for less than it would have been me making myself despite having boxes of synth hair just sitting there on the shelves staring at me...

i also scored some lovely waist belts all beaded and jangly, which i've already worn as headpieces - and some lovely jewellry bits n bobs. so happpy - and all for less than the one piece i scored at raqs brittania - so bargain! and gave me something to wear at cat's birthday bash...all i needed was added facepaint with drum n bass dj and danced my ass off all night - and this all after a couple hours workshopping with the amazing samantha emmanuel drilling upper body AND the evenin in the pub while my bondeboy flashed his sparkly g-string at absolutely everyone!

gotta love him.

then home.
a couple xmas dinners.
and flu.

been stuck on the sofa and barely managed to make anything at all the last day or so - just some nice sparkly ornaments for my bright pink tree!

manic

well fucking hell...things have got busy busy busy around here.
luckily the manic weird emotional shit has kinda subsided - things are still down but we are all getting through it...i think.

got back from raqs britannia totally broked, had a day off then went straight to the gym, a couple more belly dancing classes and back to the gym - then it was london gay pride, so by the time sunday rolled around my thighs weren't lookin' too bad! not lot of crochet got done...some more motifs for my freeform - and starting some fringey tassels but otherwise it's not been that productive.

o and work has been busy busy busy too.

altho i did score some lovely conch shells and beads to add to my work!

this weekend is going to be all about hanging out with my cousin who is here visiting from utah, and watching belly dancing and world cup extravaganzas rolled into one...of course i'll take my crochet along, but not sure how much i'll get done.
