Thursday, September 21, 2006 at 12:58PM ..because it's now nearly 1pm and I just realised that I haven't brushed my hair this morning, almost 22 years since the last good excuse for such behaviour was born.
No-one has said anything, either. I wonder if they noticed? Maybe they simply thought it was better to say nothing...

On Sunday, we are invited to a Christening celebration with friends. We ordered our present some time ago but only heard by email yesterday that it won't be here in time. Bleh! So, the bunting manufacture started and a short time later, 10 yards of it is done and ready to roll. The baby's name, Eleanor, appears midway along the stretch, but doesn't appear in the photograph. We think that perhaps she will enjoy bringing out the bunting on birthdays, or maybe she'll like to see it hanging in her bedroom when she's older.
Of course, big sister Rosie-Jane can't be left out, so I made her a small cushion with the same fabrics. There's a little secret pocket inside there too.
All far more fun than doing the ironing!

Sloes are dripping from the trees in Gloucestershire this year. Mine came from the Bourton on the Water area and were picked for me (thanks Marjorie and Connie!)
Monday, September 11, 2006 at 10:56AM I just downloaded Eunny Jang's Print o'the wave stole pattern having seen so many lovely examples here and there and as I did, I felt a pang of guilt - just how many projects do I have going right now, and do I need the distraction of another one?
So, here goes:
A pair of socks for Mark, started just before our holiday. One done and dusted, the other is progressing nicely. Pattern from Sensational Socks
A pair of socks for me, started ages ago, also from Sensational Socks. One sock done. SSS has set in and there's nothing on the needles.
The Liquorice Allsorts Mobius scarf. Tinked twice, still not quite right but nearly done. Can't be bothered to tink it again so it will have to do.
A Clapotis scarf in the maple-leaf Sireno silk/wool mix I bought at Webs. Have dropped two lines so far...a few more to go.
Nearly forgot, an ongoing project to knit Teeny Tiny Totes as Christmas presents. Three done, a few more to go!

Looking for the airport photos a minute ago, I came across this picture, taken in Niagara Falls. It was in the Casino shopping centre, part of the Swarovski shop front and I would have dearly loved to have been able to leap up there and take a rubbing. Couldn't tell if it was as three dimensional as it appears, or what material it was made from (fibreglass probably) - I was hurriedly searching for a Ladies loo at the time and was a little preoccupied!
