it's been a long time...

Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back, let me get it back
mm-baby, where I come from...

...yup, I have been a bit pre-occupied.

New/old rekindled love and a puppy have stolen all my free blog time!

But I am still hooking - have made The Dicktator a hate hat (ooo a bit freudian there!) and one of my special jolie rouge deep red skull and crossbones scarf - and I'm still working on the yarneater CAL with Sarah London (who despite my new/old bf, I still love love love in the biggest fangirl way ever).  My yarneater is actually getting too big to carry around, so I need to do some doggy crochet as our little 13 week old puggle Elvis needs more chewy toys!

I used to make really nice crochet doggy bones out of worsted weight cotton and stuffed with my old t-shirts, gave them to my puppies at the salon in Stockholm and also the tattoo shop in Ibiza town...now I gotta get back on the bone and make some for my own little one, but this week has been pretty harsh - we've had literal blood sweat and tears (and a few police) and today is the first day I can read properly - so maybe I'll leave any new projects for a couple days.

Oh, and if it's not past midnight yet for you = happy Sadie Hawkins day!

And if it is later on - happy St David's day!

Miss you all xxx

have your cake and don't eat it.

now i've got a pile of granny squares just waiting to be shipped out, i thought i'd go back to working on the cupcake scarf i started when the amazing twinkie chan was in town...i need something easier to carry round as i'm off on a gypsy dance weekend with hilde over easter! i'm on a super hardcore diet right now, so will be nice to be travelling on a day that chocolate is supposed to be consumed...

...although it's going to hard to avoid the wine!

ok, off to get the bus to meet the birth mother of my dead ex husband.
wearing my big soft mohair and dreadlock scarf for comfort.

finished...for now!

finished sorting my black dreadlock scarf.
now what?
am still looking for dark charcoal to pull together all the skully squares, and some bright bright pink to finish off the aum piece of work.

so in the meantime i guess i could start on the heart shaped box!
(and now i want to crochet a uterus as well)

this is a cute idea too: http://kelguen.livejournal.com/857.html

score!

scored some more of the black artesano fuzzy suri alpaca and am sorting out more rows and fringes on my own dreadlock scarf...i think it needs it to help it keep its shape. this time it's vertical long length rows instead of little horizontal ones - this should stop the continuous streeeeeetching...

running on empty!

not updated in awhile again as still running busy busy constantly.

making some purple and white jolly roger crocheted flags for pirate night at the ship tonight.

been wearing my black human hair scarf, and it goes great with my new red hair!!!

up up and away

i am going away and i've not packed any crochet - at all.

i'm not travelling as light as the other weekend as wanted to bring the white boots that i bought last time i was there...and i need my 50s style one piece bathing suit for the sauna!

so this is strange.

but i did add more human hair fringe to my scarf last night!

busy bee still...

been a busy couple weeks!

work is still kicking off but at least the people around me have good taste in music and can crochet...i'm working on a nice yummy scrummy silky fuzzy new wintery black black scarf with some new artesano yarn i got at the iknit weekender.

and i'm going to be a social anthropologist....

everything sorted, bought, and paid for and i go back to school starting the 28th.

the same week that my daughter ravenisis starts her humanities degree there!

not quite the usual college co-eds.

or???

i'm sure it will be cutting into my crafty time but will be worth it!

last week

well there won't be anymore bake camps for me.

i really can't face going back and sitting with all the settled down girlie girls again.

especially now that things have gotten sooo messed up.

not really been crafting much the last week or so.

did the race for life with the iknit team and can now add almost £200 to their almost £4k.

i crocheted all the way round the track, but ripped it out the next day as it was too wonky...so have slowly been building it back up.

but nothing else.

i want to make a lovely lacey scarf out of the 2ply that i got from all the fun of the fair the other day, but i can't bring myself to wind it up off the hank by meself.  this fucking messed up relationship thing really really sucks.

will take with me to stockholm in a couple weeks - who knows, it might end up as hair extensions!!!

run run runaway

i'm sorry i won't be making this evening at iknit...i'm not really up for going it alone just yet and i should go home and pack anyway for my runaway punker weekend with fishwhiskers!  i've got alot to get together...my toiletries and milk thistly and prozac and codeine and vicodin and any other medication for a broken heart that i can find...and dandelion tea.  altho why bother?  i'd rather my liver exploded the life i have right now.

and i must pack ALOT of crochet...fishie is another crochet fiend and i don't want to run out of anything.  will work on my dalek and take some other patterns/ideas like cherry pie slices and big flowery scarves and other things...i'm still working on skully squares even though now i've no idea if it will ever be a living together present - so i've come up with an alternative plan that's been inspired by the hoxton girlies...

crochet graffiti...so if you see little bright skulls and crossbones sewn to street furniture you know that i'm definitely single (which means also drunk and pain-dulled).

but still not a bad idea is it?

o and i also need to try to haul fish's gear she when she was here for pirate halloween...so probably won't be taking any sort of laptop  -  unless i buy that little small samsung that i've been lusting after since before xmas!

vive le crochet (sp?)

i made it to wednesday knit night. went all by myself, which is something i wouldn't normally do - i hate to even go for coffee by myself, but i did it! and i made loads of new friends - some on ravelry, some from the neighbourhood, and some from work club of all places! (work club is the digital agency that poached my boss about 6months back, lol...they were doing a photoshoot)


...and most of my new friends are crocheters!
yes we were takin' over this evening! it was really fun.
hope i can make it down on wednesdays again to meet up with them all more.

now back to makin' myself some cuddly wuddly doo-dah scarves.
this having short hair in winter thing demands it!
