Project 2 - Pink baby bootays x 2

These are the baby bootays (sorry, slippers) I'm making for Michelle from Bought Ledger's baby using Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino DK. I overthought the colour and I'm making two pairs once I knew she was having a girl. My workmate, Emma's got the best end of the deal, she's making the cardi. She decided she wanted to make it in white, so we went to Liberty's and bought two sets of buttons in the colours of the slippers and are going to alternate them down the front to make them co-ordinate. I'm not looking forward to the making up process - I'm great with fabric, not much practice or patience with knits, especially baby sized ones.

The more it SNOWS - tiddely-pom...

I know it's off topic, and you may call me mental, but I love it when it snows. I blame it on bed time stories of Pooh and Piglet's attempts at Woozle hunting. Childish? Yes, but it still has the power to make me cry with laughter. It's usually the post-snowfall icy conditions I hate. In London we usually don't have the snow drifts of other areas of the UK, and although the damage is fleeting and often unprepared for. I love it especially when it's powdery...there's something peaceful and all conquering about it. This new blanket of snow is fresh, powdery and unmarkable like a new Mac eyeshadow - the damage for me, will come when it thaws. Well that...and the fact Christopher Robin was watching the whole time and could have stopped them at any time.

It's the gift that keeps on giving (and taking) away

John Lewis is one of my worst habits, I cannot seem 2 leave that store without having bought something. Who (in their right mind) goes into a store - in London - and buys a Russian matryoska doll? Especially one where not all the faces have been painted properly.
