Alcohol...

is evil...
especially when drunk in large quantities after not eating all day...guess how I celebrated St Patrick's Day yesterday?
Spent most of the day re organising my room and changing all the furniture around...so all my stuff is now in piles all over the place...and I feel way to ill to do anything about it!
I know it's my own fault, but I rarely drink that much... TheMove is back on...July it looks like...:)

On the knitting front I've done about half of the Lulu strap...hoping to have it finished for a possible present for a friend on Thursday...although am going to have a nosey through some books to see if there's anything else I could do...

I'm going to try and eat something...fried egg sandwich or beans on toast i think...

Lulu Progress...

So, there has been some progress on Lulu...although I've made some changes (mainly due to me not reading the pattern right/being a little tired and dumb!) and changed one of the sides to just knitted...not purled and knitted like the pattern 'suggests'...I have started on the handle (above), and tried to add some ribbon in which failed, so that will be coming out tomorrow probably...
But for an evenings work in front of a few films, I think I've done ok...


As well as managing to put a wash on, hang in on the radiators, feed myself, resolve an argument and buy tulips...
Just colour me proud...

I am very tired, and yet still up at 11:36 pm...my housemate (who hasn't seen me for more than a few second in ages) said earlier that i seem tired... I'm gonna take great advantage of the few days holiday I'm taking after this weekend...

Off to bed and sleep hopefully...

And so, two months later...
I didn't finish it...it's now been hidden away at the bottom of the dress bag until I can face it again...I realised over half way through that I'd missed a whole bit of the shaping instructions...So It's being ignored for a while...


Meanwhile I bought some fabulous wool for new projects...

This Debbie Bliss merino aran is for these...hopefully I'll get it finished soon...if i don't change my mind which i think i am...Typical!!


There's also this gorgeous ball...its 100% acrylic but certainly doesn't feel it or look it! Fabulous colourway and only £3.99 a huge 200g ball...


This is earmarked for these two:

...from the Rowan Big Easy Book... Candy (the bigger shopper style bag) may have to wait until I've finished Lulu (the little one) as I think that's the cuter!

Have a long weekend off which is fab, although I haven't done much of what I planned for today...Tidying, baking and charity shop shopping..I went into the city centre and got all sorts of other things instead!
Found a shop that has all books at £1! so bought lots of books (top three for Allan though...)











A window sun-catcher for Allan's mum for Mother's Day...
(Which if he doesn't think she'll like, I shall be keeping...tis a pretty!!)

And a little wind chime for me...












You might have got that I've not got the hang of this picture posting yet...

Off to Allan's parents house tomorrow, so tidying of very messy room should occur...









(I love my new camera!)

Blessings...
