Happy new year! have you made any resolutions? I dont usually bother making them but this year me and my sister have vowed to tie dye more stuff

About 10 of us spent new years at a friends house with the intention of having a quiet on watching Jools Holland, it didnt stay quiet for long! Had such a great time Me and Jonjo brought over these shots we made based on this instructable, they’re called ‘alien shooters’ and look like little aliens in a test tube. You soak green gummi bears in humidor till they soak it up and go big an squishy, then top the shot with sambuca.

This is the face they make you pull, ha!

After champagne at midnight we kicked the boys out of the dining room and put on some Pussycat Dolls. We know how to get the party started, riiight.

I made the boys from Triclops some monster card holders for Christmas, read about it on the triclops blog

Me and my sister took a trip to Bovington market for some fake rolex’s and gold tracksuits, on the way home we stopped by the pet shop, I so nearly took this guinea piggy home with me, but it was a boy soooo cuuuuuute, lookat its little face!

Sleepy chincilla, awwww

As i write this blog post its bucketing it down with snow

Also putting a smile on my face this week: New hello kitty necklace / Baking white chocolate and cranberry muffins / Spending too much time on the new Mario game on the Wii / Mari kart banter / Big roast dinners / Having a head buzzing with zillions of ideas after a restful Christmas / Contemplating tie dye, ha!

Snow day!

This morning i woke up to a garden full of beautiful snow and its continued snowing all day! This is very unusual for England , we usually have little bit and bobs of snow that rarely setlles for long. Things around here have pretty much ground to a stop, so my apologies to custom brooch buyers who will have to wait an extra day for me to get to the post office 0__0

So ive had a chilly but productive day of photos, computer stuffs and sewing, here are some wintery pics, enjoy!

Phew! Finished work for the Christmas holidays now, i have two lovely weeks off! I have some gifts to wrap and then i’m all ready for Christmas. I have a couple of projects i want to work on while i have some free time, i’m most excited about this Sackboy pattern i’m going to knit. I bought the magazine and wool a couple of weeks ago and i’ve had to hide them under my bed so i wouldnt be tempted to start it and neglect finishing off christmas presents ha ha!

To help spread a bit of festive cheer here is my Snow Bear painting transformed into a desktop for your computer or iPhone.
