thanks for the weekend!

BIGGEST warmest loveliest thanks to ms marmite lover for the fun weekend at her underground farmer's market. Juicy Lucy and I spend an entire weekend in bed together wrapped up warm while the rest of the market had to battle with the elements. And that we had a bar set up on the ironing board was just a bonus. And on Sunday with had the lovely Jo and Amelie from Rubyshoes Rocks Bunting on the bed with us learning to crochet...so basically my usual weekend just with more interesting alcohol and more hookers!

Here's a link to a video of the weekend.

A London Plinth write up.

Oh! and PIE, not just any PIE, but the bestest american PIE, by Miss American Pie...who has pie crust to die for and makes something called a 'thing' that just drips with eagle brand milk and coconut.  This on top of Paul A Young continually plying me with brownies in hopes I'll make more brown and purple bunting for his shops - definitely means that I went over my usual calorie count for the day...but can I say that thanks to all the reprogramming I've done to my brain with the Beck CBT method I was still fully in control and enjoying every last morsel.

Still will be interesting to see my weight at fat rehab this Thursday night!

Oh, and as this weekend was such fun it has inspired me to do more of the crafty markety thingies, and maybe to organize my own as well...so watch this space!

AND ONE MORE THING

I'm doing crocheted mustaches for movember...they are a minimum £10 each or 6 for £50 and all the money will go to charity - so please buy buy buy! Email me to place an order, thanks.

^^^^
for those of you that asked me to let you know next time my daughter is performing at positively 4th st! she'll be there on sunday night, will you???

let me know x

knit/nut roast

mmm...yum!
sunday knitroast is now definitely a tie for my ffavourite all time stitch and bitch ever - thank goodness that the crown and two chairmen put the heat on for us today...but unfortunately they ran out of their lovly nutroast. the chipotle pies are just as good though! i know because i sampled the one on fingersandtoes' plate! so lovely to meet her in the flesh and hear about her latest adventures.

then home and onto deal with life.
needed a martini.

will fill you all in later...am bedded down in front of the tv for the rest of sunday
(with laptop and crochet of course)

easy like sunday morning...

its knitroast day!
i am so looking forward to spending a long afternoon with the iknitters in a lovely soho pub - crochet and nutroast - yum!
and i'm hoping that my daughter will come along too.
see you all soon xxx

sunday in so cal...

so we are off to pechanga tomoro to go touring vineyards and gambling a bit...wish me luck! swear that i should be employed as a cooler when my allergies are up...and they are up and they are bad and so bad that i'm getting ill from them. this is the worst that they have been since i tried to go stay overnight at a party that had dogs then sought refuge somewhere with cats...or that time i tried to make a shrug out of mohair!

i'm on zirtek pills and spray and have now bought some redbush tea which helps as well - but i really think the best thing to do will be to get away from the house and out into the desert for some different air!

so sorry all that means i'll be missing all the groups and get togethers that are happening sunday/monday, but will try my hardest to be at starbucks on tuesday night to see all my new stitchy girlfriends again!

(iknitters please don't be jealous - its just a holiday fling!)

so tonight i'm staying in at my parents' and doing laundry and tearing out a swing jacket my mom started before her eyes went - she's lost loads of weight since then so i'm going to make it a small instead of a large for her...

its 4 balls of yarn so i should be able to finish it while i'm here. fingers crossed.

sunday missing everyone

sunday but no knitroast but took my daughter for a nice nutty roast and a bit of crochet anyway.
yummy very full tummy. now for some dvd's...

easy like sunday morning...

went to sunday knitroast today and had a nice chilled relaxed time with the iknit crew...
ate lovely and VERY nutty nutroast and managed to finish off 3 more jolly roger squares for the skull and crossbones afghan. the fiance rafrasilecs managed to create a very phallic purple thing while freestyling his crochet...have a feeling that might get unravelled soon! made some lovely new friends that i hope to bump into really soon again (xmas party anyone?)

so home now, cuddled up on the sofa and about to make a pink o pink square for the blanket while planning in my head what yarn to pack to take with me to milan this week!
