Shot in the dark

More randomness, I have different craft things in the midst of making, so nothing to show yet. I ordered more fabrics. I'm not sure why, as I have two different fabrics to make into something. I'm also crocheting a scarf with skulls, made little fabric pieces from scraps, and now trying to think what to make of them. I also have a hoodie that I'm pimping up, as it had little holes, but didn't want to throw away, as I like the long lenght of it. So yeah, crafting ADD there again.;.....
Here's some bargains and a little gift to myself before the hols....

'tis the season, over, thank f***

It's over, thank f***. For some reason , I started with a very excited mood towards xmas, getting house all nice etc, but slowly with time, my season mood just died. I have no idea why. Felt like the fucking Grinch over the holidays, so now it's done. Hope this year is nicer. It was lovely to have my ma around tho, but as family shit always has people disliking each other, there was tension. Maybe that's the stuff that killed my xmas.

It wasn't all doom and gloom, I got to Ikea, and Deep Sea World, which was nice. The drive wasn't, we had bad weather both ways and we saw a bad accident due to weather conditions, so needless to say when we got home, I had a long sigh for making it in one piece.
I've had craft mojo on the low too, so need to get back on my tracks and get shit done. Got a phone for xmas, (surprise....)  so made a bling cover for it.
That's about it. Hope year 2014 has good things in store, and has had a good kickstart!
Anyone wondering who the manny on the phone is, watch The Onedin Line. That is one handsome man called Jack Onedin from the show...
Ta ta for now...

 P.S Oh the ceiling bubble... That was my upstairs neighbours radioator pipe leaking.... You know, just so the fun doesn't end.... Hahahahah..

Crafting mania

The dark evenings have been my muse for random crafting, I stick some tealights on, put on tunes or watch the telly and try out new things.
I've also fallen in love with true entertainment channels morning shows, Road to Avonlea, Little House on the Prairie and The Waltons is keepin' that warm and fuzzy feeling even when it's cold and shit outside.
I remember Road to Avonlea from when I was younger, I loved it then, and love it even more now. It goes to the same category with Northern Exposure and other quality shows that I have fond memories of.
