Project 365 - April & May

I've been so busy lately, that I forgot to post a selection of pics from April...


April was a good month... Peter and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary (wow 10 years!) I've been baking a lot more... I'm kindda liking the fact that cupcake making has become so popular... finally I can get piping bags and other cupcake making accoutrements... and I've also been busy working on a couple private projects....

May seemed to dragged on and on... of course more cupcakes, the LOST finale and the finicky British weather... will we have a proper summer?

Project 365 - March

Ah March... it was a good month... not only did I turn 38 (and I'm ok with that) I started painting and journalling again and of course spring is finally here, so people are a little more cheerier (winter makes people mean and grumpy) I successfully baked red velvet cupcakes and they were amazing! I finally have Season two of Twin Peaks on dvd (it was just released here on the 22nd of March...

I do have a lot of other projects on the go and I will try and share what I can here... I'm feeling a little overwhelmed really but also happy to be busy doing what I love doing...

oh yeah, I have another cold... lucky me

I've been so sick over the past 2 weeks... it's almost gone (the cold) I just have this awful chesty cough... I wasn't able to finish my Christmas crafting with this cold and taking extra hours at my part-time job... by the time I have free time to do anything or take pictures, it's to dark!

Well I guess after Christmas I'll have some photos to share with you... for now have a very Happy Christmas!

Keeping myself busy

Currently working on updating both websites, new art for my art and photography portfolios, new art for the Etsy shop.

So when do I find the time to knit?

the swing of things

So I've been back from Canada over 2 weeks now and I'm finally getting things done... the weather so far this week has been absolutely gorgeous and I'm finally feeling creative again!

This Sunday will be my 37th birthday... I'm not sure how I feel about that... ask me again on Sunday

Hello Again

I can not believe that my last post was way back in April.... for real?

Well of course a lot has happened since then. The last few months has been a roller coaster emotionally, financially, creatively and spiritually... we are on a up and things are looking promising... I'm currently working as a temp Art Worker in the heart of London and I'm finally feeling creative again after a 2 year dry spell. Peter and I had an Artist open house in July and we did pretty well with that.

I should by the end of this month have new items available to purchase in my Etsy shop... original art, prints, jewelery... you know what I mean... and hopefully I'll be able to keep this blog updated... I should be able to do that on the week ends as I do my laundry and catch up on my emails.

ps- I'm also really behind on my knitting :(

Inactive Life?

Not so... I assure you. I have been busy.

I can't believe that it's almost my 36th birthday (this Saturday)... So what have I been doing?
Well not much knitting. I have a few projects sitting around in storage bags... Oh wait last week I started on a scarf that was available on the spring issue of Knitty.

Last Friday Peter (my husband) and I attended the launch of The Green Tree Gallery.... (Peter and I have a few pieces up) I'm currently putting together a few open edition prints, that will be available on my Etsy shop.... Peter's Shop is up and running!

Glorious Autumn

I do love this time of year.... There's a delisious fog going on this morning... I'm tempted to go out for a walk... but my camera isn't charged *bugger*

Things have calmed down on the family front, so I'm hoping to put in some serious studio time... I'm really looking forward to our little trip to Rome next month...

hopefully I'll be able to get a pair of these from Irregular Choice.... yum!

Keeping Up Apperances...

Gee... I really should break out of this habit of posting once a month. I have been busy... honestly!
We have a lot going on family wise, with my father-in-law planning to remarry, selling the house and moving to London. It's been pretty world wind as he will be moving into a smaller place, Peter trying to save our items and suitcases that are stored into the loft by the end of the September.... it's a good thing we just live down the road.

I'm currently in a art slump.... unable to create any art. I have been very busy with my knitting and I've become obsessed with Ravelry.

Oh and guess what... we are going to Rome November 26th-30th...

Should be fun... I've always wanted to go to Rome... other Italian locations are Florence and Venice.

I have so much to complete today, it's not even funny...

out from hiding

well I haven't been hiding really... just trying to cope with everything that life has been trowing our way as of late.... everything is fine now, it just got a little stressful around here... I've also been in some sort of artist rut... still working with it... oh well

So we've seen the 5th Potter film and finished the final book... didn't like the film but looooved the book! the book ended pretty much the way I thought.

Knitting has once again saved me with the on going stresses in life... I'm happily chugging along my Clapotis in Noro Cash Iroha, the Chevron Scarf in Lorna Laces Black Purl and a pair of Slytherin Socks....

...update...

I can't believe almost a month has gone by without me posting... we've been so busy with work and all... I've finished re-reading the 6 Potter books so I'm ready for book 7... I've started another knitting project... and i'm curretly fighting a terrible head/sinus cold... that's it really... oh and I found purple peppers in the supermarket...

caffeinated happiness

We bought our 2nd coffee maker yesterday... Something very simple with a timer and makes filtered coffee... (I couldn't be bothered with one of those pod thingies) So now I'm totally buzzing on my second double coffee....
Coffee makes me so happy... I am not looking forward to the crash though

the quiet weekend...

This was suppose to be our RPG weekend (I play Dark Ages Vampire with my husband as the Storyteller, and two other friends) but it was canceled... So I spent most of yesterday and a earlier today bumming around eating brownies that I had baked for the game, with lots of earl grey tea... (earl grey my new bitch these days) and I knitted...


this pic was taken few days ago... the heels are completed now. The Pattern is the Nautilus by Anna Bell. I'm soo liking this pattern... I'll start the celebrations for my first "two at the same toe-ups" once I've finished... but it is looking good :)

well I better get back to cooking dinner. Tonight we are having Tuna Pasta Salad with Mediterranean Style Seasoning...

good friday

We wanted to take it easy this week-end... we just have so much to do... yikes!
proper update soon... I promise
