What the wee girl gets up to when she's done all her work

I've worked and played hard this term. I've cried alot, I'm missed Rob more than I've thought possible, and I've made some friends who will last this year, and others that will last lifetimes.

Here are some pics.

This is the cool Cake Amy made me whilst I worked on my essay and missed the last half of our flat's Secret Santa Party. I did however have my Corona and Lime to keep me company.








You know I don't normally dress like this. But it was the last Hey Ewe night of term and it was the prescribed dress code. You can't see but I had patterned tights and red and black strpiy stirrup leg warmers over my round toe high heels. That's the new red/pink hair too. I felt like a red head Gwen Stefani!















These are the little mitts I whipped up out of the lovely Jaeger Merino. I gifted them to Chris as a xmas/birthday gift. Fitting as he bought me the yarn.








Louise and Chris B or Chrispy standing, Chris Funky Pants kneeling.
I cut Louise's hair into the cool choppy bob you see with the emo fringe, gelled Chrispy's in to the perfect public school side parting, and provided both hat and a tie quickly fashioned from safety pins and a silk scarf for Chris Funky. I love mothering people I really do!

Possible Wedding hymns...

How Great Thou art

Be thou my Vision

Amazing grace



Just wanted to note them down while I thought of them.

And in knitting news

I've converted the flat into a bunch of knitters.


We have a weekly stitch and bitch night as well. Facilitated by the lovely Rach donating wool and needles that her mum didn't want anymore.


Even Marsh is knitting his gf a hat for christmas.


I feel like my role as a knitting evangelist is being fufilled.


On my knitting front, I have baby triplets needing preemie baby wear asap, a 1/4 done arisaig and a funny shawl scaf thing that will eventually have a lovely lacy edging.


Got to go find some preemie patterns

Home is never far away

Sat here in Rob's chair, having been typing up todays notes, home alone as everyone's out at music practice or prayer meetings.

I feel like I've never been away. I'm cosy, had a cup of tea, been on a train, been dancing around station... After an hour an hour on a train in the dark with essays pouring out my fingers into my laptop.

It feels like I never left. Comfy happy warm.

Sleeping in nice soft beds.

having takeaway.

Just wish I could have the best of both worlds now...Have fun at the Cube flat mates - I'm having slap up chinese;)
