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.

Tattoo weekend.

I've been so busy lately I've hardly stopped but I did spend my weekend at the London tattoo convention, there were so may amazing artists to see and bands plating and all sorts, but I've not caught up with myself yet!


The Tobacco dock is a grate place, it has pirate ship and everything! I got so wraped up in things that I hardly took any photos though, sorry.

I'm ready.

I wasn't ready, I was denying it but I'm ok now. I have said goodbye to summer and welcomed autumn into my hart.

I'm famouse!

Well in the borough of Lewisham any way!
Me and some friends run a knitting group in my local pub and were recently approached by our local council magazine for an interview and somehow I ended up on the cover! I'm no model and it was a really odd experience. The cover pic was taken in the street because the light wasn't right inside! The magazine is distributed for free round lewisham and if we'd only been in the mag and not on the cover no one would know as know as I'm not sure anyone actually reads it, but as it is all my friends have been texting me to say they got home and found me staring up at them from there door mat!

macaroons to celebrate

I have exiting news, I got onto the millinery course at Kensington and Chelsea collage yesterday so I have a busy year ahead of me but am very exited and to celebrate I treated myself to tea and some macaroons from Laduree. yum.

I love that the feathers are made out of the same felt as the hat, I'll have to give that a try some time.
