Yummy

I love the drawing - you are such a crafty lady!

I found this NZ food site the other day and it looked like it had lots of yummy stuff.

It is fisher and paykel....but I will juts pretend that it is an independent blog. I am still making some little badges and I will pop some in the post for you - I have another little treat for you, but you will have to fix it a little. My friend Tina is going to be in London in a few weeks - maybe you could have a little drink with her. I think we should move to NY!

Big hug xxxx




halloween

kitty! i was so excited to get on the blog and see so many entries with lovely pictures.

firstly i think a part time sea-change sounds fabulous, if i could do it i would. you will not end up any more crazy than you are already. do it!!!!! thank you for the hilarious, wild and strange mongolia pics - does that feel like a dream now? it must feel very far away from where you are. my favourite is the little chub-chub hanging out of his window. also, the bag is adorable - are you still doing dino-badges? send me pics!

i have also had a felt experimentation with these martha stewart slippers.


i was not so inventive as to make the felt myself, so it's pretty much cheating, but i do love them and they are lovely and comfortable.

so, halloween was last weekend and sandy and i went to a party and dressed up as mel and bret from flight of the conchords. it was fun. here's a pic of us at the party and also a little illustration project i did from the same pic. i think i might start doing some illustration classes - it is fun.



man oh man i miss you - however i have exciting news, sand and i will be home in march for a wedding - so we will have to rendezvous for a spoon.

Sea change


So I am thinking of moving to Potato Point part-time. I am wondering if I would turn into a heaps crazy person...or is this totally excellent?

I would live in Sydney 3 days and then at the coast on the other 4

Highlights from Mongolia - Sydney is looking rather boring





A little felt bag



I thought I would show you this little bag that I made from wool - then felted.

activities

hey kitty,

just a wee post to update you on new activities I am engaging in over here in wintery London.

like i mentioned in the last post, i have joined a book club. last week we did lady chatterlys lover. it was great - we did talk about penises, but also lots more highbrow topics.

also, i have joined a choir...




... not that kind of choir!

a community choir, so a bit more like this...



... i went to my first practice last night and it was surprisingly fun. there were lots of lovely people and we sang this song...



i thoroughly enjoyed myself. the choir is called The East London Soul Singers. we are doing a christmas concert in a mall - excellent.

ok bye.

The last two weeks




have been baking, dressing up, cycling. the weather gets colder and we wear more wool. the cold wind gives me a headache and i buy earmuffs. i have joined a book club, we read lady chatterlys lover and when i read it on the bus i cover the rude bits with my hand so the person next to me doesn't think i'm a pervert. it's nice when we talk about the book, it's invigorating to discuss something other than x-factor on the telly.

so here are some pics from my last couple of weeks. i am trying a 1940's thing at the moment.

as always... i miss you x
