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!

star time

made a 12 pointed star this week -=- its so cute!!!

and have been yarnbombing london with my easter eggs.

also joined the stitch book group and scored the audiobook of 'water for elephants' to listen to while i crochet. i wanted the old school paper copy but couldn't find it anywhere so downloaded it - and ironically an hour later found out my daughter just finished reading it...i could have had her copy! but am going to take advantage of things being up and down with the fiance and am going to go to bed early tonight with some crochet and put the ipod on the dock and listen to a few chapters...

...just hope that i stay awake!
