SLOW DOWN, YOU MOVE TOO FAST....
Yep, another week has whizzy-ma-jigged by.....there hasn't been much time for crafting. This isn't good as I've got a couple of commissions to do...have really got to knuckle down and get on with it now :-D
My son Rhys is part of a Secret Santa in his uni flat and asked me to make a tote for his giftee...apparently she's mad about dogs and I still had some Scottie fabric kicking around.
Not sure about the grey/roses fabric bottom left, I'm not going to use that now. I'll fancy up the pockets with some lace and pretty stuff instead!
I've been down to see my dad as well and took some knitting to do - this is for a Christmas present too.....
Yep, it's another Hooter!! I haven't knitted one for AGES and have really enjoyed it. I'm showing the pattern but don't actually need it anymore....I've made so many, I know the instructions off by heart :-) There's some of that funky brown tinsel yarn left which I'm going to use to make a pom pom and decorate a knitted russet wool beanie....it'll be a good combo.
Last Friday, my band played at the switch on of the Christmas lights in Marlborough. There was a stage by the side of us and we wondered why there were so many police around. There were some surprise guests who came to sing and then turn on the lights....
Marlborough High St was buzzing.....
The surprise was Scouting for Girls (a popular Indie band for those non-UK amongst you!) They played a 20 minute set while their Christmas video was being shot and then did a reprise after they'd turned on the lights. We were due to play after them which makes them our Support Act in effect!!! ;-) The two red jackets you can see bottom right are two players having a bop!
And then Phoenix played for nearly an hour. We must be dangerous as they put us in a cage and wouldn't let anyone out :-) It was a fun evening to be part of but b%&^*y freezing....I had 4 layers on!
So life is slightly less frenetic this coming week....watch out Sewing Machine, it's going to be a rough ride :-)
Sending out love, hugs and general smoochiness to you all....let's try and counteract all the bad stuff that seems to be dominating the news.
