Had to Share

What happened to me.
Whilst i have never been one for looking in the mirror at myself in any given time, i have to remember to take a good look from time to time. this is why. I was innocently waiting in the queue at the post office to pay a bill when a customer, 2 people ahead of me was looking at me with daggers in her eyes. She just kept glaring at me and i could not for the sake of me could think of what i have done to offend her that much. did i know her? and how did i cause her so much animosity?
Well, 3 minutes later i found out what i had done. The Lovely lady at the counter told me i had a knitting needle sticking out of my shoulder! I have been walking around all morning like that! The offending size 10mm knitting needle was stuck in my jumper. I have been to Woolworths and the $2 shop and nothing had been said.
This bought me back to twice before in my life when outside of my house of something potentially embarrassing.
Once i went to the market and realised i had a dress on inside out and back to front. (quick change in the loo) and another time when i was with my daughter, in a clothes shop when i saw this lady in the mirror my thought was, this bag lady needs help! Then i saw it was me! I thought i looked ok with all my layers when in fact i looked like a hobo.
Fashionistas out there, I am a large 14- 16 size hippy that needs fashion advice!

Cat of the Day

Tilli is a life saver! Well that is probably an exaggeration, but without her loud meow, i would not have known that she and Meg were shut in the bathroom!

Getting Stuff Together

Underneath the cat Tilli, on the computer/sewing chair is all the things i have gathered together to work on Monkey Business.
I have decided that this is going to be a marionette puppet. It is all drawn out in my head at the moment, so if you like to see what happens, watch this space!.
Originally i was going to start it yesterday, but my darling husband made me a surprise appointment for the dentist, Having taken me there, i had a tooth extracted and spent the rest of the afternoon on the couch napping! It was a good thing too cos i found out i need fillings. so back to the dentist in a couple of weeks time... all for the good i am sure.

Cotton and Cloud

Kyoko in London England has a beautiful blog called Cotton and Cloud and has posted an interview about myself and my two cats Tilli and Meg as this weeks Furry Friday!
this lady is a fantastic crafter, especially her knitting which i adore and loves cats and other animals. I have spent many an hour reading her blog. I especially love reading her Furry Fridays.

Wedding Dress

I cannot post a picture here for obvious reasons! (i do not want my future Son In Law to see it by accident) But my daughter is getting married in April next year and is interested in borrowing a dress or buying one, second hand. All Part of being eco friendly. She loves the idea of something old, similar in style to the previous wedding posts. I would like anyone who is interested in wanting to know more to e-mail me or post here and i will get in touch with you about it.

New Project Inspiration

My Youngest son came home with his hair newly done, (he wears his hair in dreads) with a new product. I just fell in love with the logo. I am going to re create him into a 3D toy using recycled wool coats. Meanwhile i am working on the charity dolls and thinking on how i am going to get him made. Once i have all the "bits" in my head i will start him.
Probably on Monday so watch this space!
I love it when i get excited about a project!
