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

love love love

i know it's not crochet, but it's stitchy related, and it's my blog so i can talk about whatever the f*ck i want to really...because i just ordered these embroidery transfers by tara mcperson for sublime stitching!:! how great are they???

and in true DIY style, i'll probably mix it up a bit, and i doubt i'll embroider with as many strands as the example photos (from sublime website)...i really think the lips could be done with maybe only one strand of floss?

i'm just sooo damn excited about this as i love tara - as a person and as an illustrator. she is so talented and the sweetest person you'll ever meet. i first fell in love with her stuff years ago and was so lucky that i hooked up with her via my old flatmate and friend and co-work kimlovesstuff.

i am not usually such a fangirl, but having tara passed out asleep on my sofa was quite an honour. she even left behind a pair of knickers that we thought about making art out of but instead we washed and my daughter ravenisis wore them. o and my daughter has a BIG show tonight if any of you londoners want to attend? shit shit shit - i did actually think the show was tomoro!!!

sorry jo roach - i'm not going to make make your gin ladies homewarm stitch and bitch...
