knitted gifts

I always forget to take photo's of the gifts that i make for people; so this time i remembered:

It's for my friend Mel; she requested a cushion like the bag that i gave her for christmas and here is the result....i hope she likes it

My new creations - red top and capetastic!!

Oh no not again

Yes, i seem to have done it again....not posted for a year.
Well in keeping with my yearly update it is now May 2009!
I'm pleased to say i've ticked some things off my to do list from 2007!
Yes; my debt is all paid; i have a new tattoo (see below); i am doing yoga every day (almost but at least twice a week); and i've made some wearable clothes....and i'm actually going to post them this time

Oh Lordy

Indeed! Shame, shame i know my name. I haven't blogged in so long. eek. such good intentions and all that.

It is now 2008. I can confirm that the weird ballet wrap thing has indeed been re-created...in the form of two scarfs given to my ma and ma-in-law for christmas...the thing wasn't right for me and they made much nicer scarves. I wish there was extra I could have kept for myself.

I also re-knit the beret..it's now too big but so much cooler...photo's to follow

The running thing is going ok.. a bit stop start but plans are ahead for 5k and 10k runs in the coming months which is a good sign.

It's been Ben's golden week this week which ended in disaster again with the flight to Madrid being cancelled cos of bad weather and us both not knowing what to do with ourselves for the rest of the week. I had a bit of a revelation yesterday whilst shopping in Birmingham (an experience not to be repeated). Why am i so keen on looking for other things....dresses, furniture, places to live, shoes.....when i already live in the best place, have some really nice clothes and really have no need for anything....why am i always looking for the next thing, why can't i just enjoy what i've got - which is far better than most things out there anyway! what is it that i'm looking for?
