15 minutes of shame

back online in london for about 15 minutes while i try to catch up on my fat rehab/weight maintenance planning. brighton was lovely - caught up with my lovely charity man - who knitted me the cutest 'deddy bear', which is now lying dead with x's for eyes on the arm of my big lovely comfy sofa. i'll post photos soon, but right now i just can't move while i wait for the nurofen to kick in! then i'll be up and rehearsing my tribal bellydance before throwing everything that might still fit into a suitcase and running off to sweden...where i will hopefully have a great creative week with my lovely ann-marie.

big big thanks to lovely spaceboy and her partner for putting me up the night i was homeless in brighton.  while anno was in the bath i quickly halloween yarnbombed her house!  i am never going to have enough stock to sell in my etsy shop if i keep this up...

busy bee

so it's been busy busy for me since valentine's day.
busy visiting friends, working, drinking vodka, and having horrid migrainey flu.
i cannot wait to havce a nice steam tomoro at the gym!

and this is a little something that i made while home on the sofa sick sick sick:
she is a dead mommy bee...based on the pattern by ana, but enhanced alot - to the point i wonder when it becomes an homage, as i changed the antenna, the face, body, and wings...so basically tweaked it all, and love the way it turned out.

i'm finding that i'm really tweaking her patterns alot lately (again) i love ana's amigurumis and find they are such an inspiration...big props to her!!!

excuses excuses

so i DID not end up at knitblubclub last night - sorry kids!

went to see a headhunter after work who is shit hot - he gets a salary so doesn't work on commision only. fingers crossed that i don't have to use him, but if i do - then that i can earn him a BIG bonus. and he's into mtb so we have ALOT in common.

anyway. came out of the meeting, it was raining, turned the corner and all the boys from irresistable were there - calling my name, then dragging me along to the hospital...where i drank the most lovely dirty vodka martini in the world - and maybe got them hooked on them too. (drinks on me next time boys)

then made my excuses as we were the only cool cats there and went home to cuddle on sofa with my blondeboy and my ravenisis.

and how adorable is the crocheted olive!
