Yippee! Another great week of sunny weather and fun times here. I’ve been working on lots of secret project that i hope to reveal soon! I also released my first plush toy for a good few months, and he sold out in less than 12 hours which was just amazing, so big  thanks everyone who reads the blog and a big hello to new readers! My favouritest part of this week was Vicky and Louis’s house warming party last weekend, i took lots of pictures…….

…

Day 156 of my flickr 365days project

I got new glasses, do you like ‘em? I find it so difficult to find new frames i like – it was a toss up between these £14 honeys from TK Maxx and £280 Chanel ones, seriously! I’ve got a lot going on with the hair and the lip piercings, a lot of glasses make me look like a cartoon/total tool, so im well chuffed with these, i feel like a fancy librarian

…

Hollys top gift wrapping tip  – if you’ve only got christmas wrapping paper left, turn it inside out and draw rude pictures on it.

…

See, it wasn’t all cocks and balls, the present inside was nice! A home sweet home sampler for Vicky and Louis’s new house, with stuff they like on it – a bunny, shoes an a handbacg for Vicky, and a Skateboard, New Era hat and Car for Lou Lou.

…

Last weekend was all about clearing our the garden (many trips to the dump later its now turfed, and beeeeeautiful!) and then helping Vicky and Louis move into their new abode. To even out the hard work we drank a whole lot of Ron Ron juice, its gets a girl feelin’ loose! If you watch Jersey Shore you’ll know what i’m talking about – Ron Ron juice is what they drink before they go out and rub themselves on each other. If you don’t watch Jersey Shore then what on earth is wrong with you! You need it in your life, its the funniest stupidest show ever.

So I got Vicky this Hello Kitty pillow as a little house warming gift, and the Hello Kitty pillow game started out innocently enough “hey hey vicky get a picture of me, look this is brilliant!” but quickly went waaaay wrong….

Brap!

…

No wait, it gets worse….

Ewww this picture makes me sad.

I had to cut a bunch of picture out of this post cause they were just too vile. Way to gross me out, friends of mine!

…

“when can i stop?!” We made Vicky do this for ages, we’re so mean. You can hear Louis proper laughing in the background.

…

We hid post-its alllll over the house, we hid them so well they’re going to be finding them for weeks, mwa ha ha ha! I went round the next day and when i got out a cup to make a tea it said “i can see you” inside, oooooh creepsy.

…

I have no idea why i’m pulling this wretched face, but Maddi and Vicky look good!

…

This pimp cup is big, like seriously big, i recon you could get a whole bottle of wine in there, or WKD blue like a true gangsta. I got it on eBay, they had much ruder ones than this, too – mercy!

…

I made this for Vicky aaaaages ago. She REALLY likes owls

…

Omg the £1 machine in Sainsburys has HELLO KITTY RINGS. Theres a clear hot pink one i’m desperate for, if anyone else out there has it wanna do swapsies? Ive been saving up my £1 coins all week to blow in the machine this weekend!

…

…

And Last but not least, Jonjos rubbish answer to the drum n’ bass step. This proper cracks me up every time i hear it, and Maddi’s ridiculous laugh in the background is just too much! Thats its from me for this week, have a super duper weekend y’all! Fingers crossed it stays sunny for a BBQ tomorrow

…

A Mini update on how Project Blankie’s coming along! Ive been so busy with other projects i’ve only had time to make a few squares since the last update, although im eagerly awaiting a few squares all the way from America!

Project Blankie is a huuuge sofa throw i’m making out of simple 5″ knitted and crocheted squares. If you knit or crochet i’d love for you to join in! I will be  sharing pictures of my progress on the net and hope it will inspire my crafty friends from around the world to knit or crochet me a 5″ square and i’ll add it to the blanket, so the whole thing will tell a story. How cool would that be?!

More about Project Blankie (with a pattern for knitting or crochet!) here

…

I think this Hello Kitty square took about 3 hours to make, but it was worth it!

…

My week in pictures this Friday includes; duck hunt, cactus fashion parade, cross stitch Dunny, teeny week doggies, Hello Kitty custom shoes, new hair, drum & bass and lots of other loveliness! Enjoy your weekend everybody, see you Monday for another instructable!

.

Duck Hunt hama beads, more pictures coming soon! I think this is the biggest hama bead thing i’ve made so far, i needed to get the clip together type boards for it. They make you buy them in a pack of 4 so now i have plans for EVEN BIGGER hama bead stuff!

.

Finished my Dunny cross stitch. He’s framed and ready for hanging on the wall tomorrow, so more pictures (and a pattern) next week.

.

We gave Big Sooz’s mates a make over too. I think the pink head one looks pretty saucy in his sombrero! And check out the little guy (is it just me who thinks he looks likea cock and balls?!) in his Mr T necklace, nice!

.

I Hello Kitty-fied Vicky’s new heels. They were a plain pair of black velvet pumps, i made the bows out of red ribbon and glued on some hello kitty faces id saved from some broken hairclips, and viola! Hello Kitty shoesies! Every Monday the girls come to mine for craft time and Glee. It’s my favourite night of the week!

.

Making teeny weeny doggies. I’ve got four of these, but i forgot to take a picture till it got dark so you’ll have to wait till next week

.

I’m very lucky that my bff is also a superstar hairdresser, here’s me getting my hair did this week (we stripped the pink out so we could dye it purple). Check out what i’d look like if i had ‘normal’ hair, we reckoned i look like Hillary Clinton!
