blue xmas

i've been making blue sparkly crocheted ornaments for my pink tree...

...everytime i look at them they make me smile as they REALLY do look like amigurumi butt plugs!

new job/new convert

so i started my new job at blue barracuda yesterday and already am trading crochet lessons for fresh baked brownie goodness! my lovely office manager lucy has wanted to learn for ages - so we start next monday...and lucky for me my new place is just opposite the age concern charity shop where i buy my £1 a ball bright coloured acrylic...

...which is all the better to make baby toys with!
i've got to make a quick baby shower gift but don't know the sex of the baby yet so it'll be bright bright bright instead maybe...figure i can knock up one of those 12 pointed celestial stars in time - fingers crossed.

and i've pretty much finished my mom's shrug - just need to put the side seams in!

good friday (for me)

ooo...i've got today off as the lovely fishwhiskers is here in london this weekend with me and we are off to get tattooed and eat yummy vegan indian food with the fiance rafrasilecs at my favourite place on drummond street. drummond street is amaxing - tis a whole little street full of indian restaraunts and most of them are veggie! with a lovely sweet shop too...so i'm lounging around in my blue spangly knickers and she's got plum dye on her head - i'm jealous! think i must do something with my boring brown classic asymmetric bob soon!

and of course this morning has already been full of crochet, coffee, and bloody marys!
i've managed a bright flouro coral coloured crocheted easter egg to add to the pile already overflowin my lovely wooden bowl that i got in namibia...mmm...namibia...i'm so missing africa...and am tempting myself by thinking i'll tag along to the gambia with fishie when she goes at the end of march - as i've already got the dates booked off...maybe kerrching would want to come along too?

could make it a little stitchy adventure, lol...

oky - off to sort ourselves out, put some dreads in her hair and we are out of here!

o and i so want to make this buddha!
