My finished collection

I'm on the last leg at collage now, just the paperwork to hand in on Thursday and then the dreaded crit on Friday!

The exhibition went well and we may even be moving it to a pop up shop(if it happens I'll lit you know where) Anyway hear are some pics of the finished hats. 

China Town

Mondays are so busy for me I rarely get time to post, so this is my weekend post now!
On Sunday me and some friends headed into Soho and china town for some Chinese new years celebrations. It was quite a dull day and I took most of my photos on my new Diana mini so they are not back yet. There was so much going on everywhere you looked and we manage to avoid the rain all day it was lovely. Though if anyone could tell me the significance of the cabbage the dragon eats from the shop doorways, I'd be grateful.

We took a break from the madness outside to go for Dim Sum at Plum Valley and boy was it worth it! It was the best dim sum I've have ever had and perhaps the prettiest too, I ate so much my friends nearly had to roll me home after!

I'm still hear!

Sorry, I disappeared for a while there, I had a deadline at collage and things coming at me from all sides, though I think I may have to get used to that as I don't think it's gonna let up until sometime in the new year!

The last project at collage was a theatrical one where we have make a hat similar to one from a picture from history, this 50's picture hat was my inspiration. It's made in brown fake straw. I may have to find a reason to wear it!

The perfect Boot.

I have been looking for the perfect boot for a long time now and I think I may have come close to finding it, I was reading the lovely Una's blog over at Sewinswing and she showed a lovely pair of shoes by Fluevog and I thought I'd have a look at what other lovelies they do and oh my I was not disappointed. Just look, I'm not sure witch pair I want more. Alas they are not available in the uk but I shall keep wishing(and saving!).

Snoods

I finally finished working out the crochet pattern for these snoods and they are now available in my etsy shop. It's taken me quite some time to be totally satisfied with them,I hope you like.

Halloween

Thought I'd show you my finished Halloween costume, sorry about how blurry the full length one is, I need a better camera! The second one was taken by a friend of mine on his very lovely camera. I had such a fun evening and there were some really good costumes.

pins N needles

One of the things that is keeping me busy at the moment is an expansion of the knitting group I help run at a local pub the Fox & Firkin. The pub has always been a bit alternative and has supported local bands for years and the lovely manageress decided she wanted to extend that love to the crafty among us. So as well as knitting there is going to be craft things going on and a clothes swap, with me on hand with my trusty sewing machine(Edith) to help people. It should be a fun night, we are launching on Wednesday the 28th October so if you are in the lewisham area please do pop in. The facebook group is here.
