Look what I made!!

Hey!!   :0)

I'm finding it difficult today for some reason to find a place to start on this entry, humphff/bleurgh/meh.

I have had an evil cold and so has my baby girl so it has been a very tiring week for me and so I have been a bit lax with my blog and the things I have been up too....kinda ;-D 

I have recently completely another totally cool scarf and started on another project which is close to completion and have a jersey dress I made a long time ago to show you.... N'YAY!!

So it was international womens day this week, I didn't really take part in any event but made me think a little bit on people, women in particular who have inspired me or stuck in my memory for some paticular reason. The first lady who comes into my head was a teacher in my Junior school, which is age 7-11ish if I remember correctly, d'oh! 

She was called Miss Dickerson I think and she was tall, red curly hair, freckles and had a warm round soft face. She was an art teacher mainly. I was relentlessly bullied at school through-out my years from 5-15 and was a horrific time for me and unfortunatley tainted my view on the human race on a whole, but more on that another time. She noticed I was being targeted and always came to my aide if she saw i was upset, which i also got bullied about, urgh. She saw my interest in art and encouraged it, I stayed behind after hours and I remember there was a spare room in the school in the scary part nobody went ( i remember the art strorage room was purrretty scary too, have memories of a blood-thirsty skeleton waiting to pounce, and just this 'eerie' feeling that wasn't alone). Well this room was to be transformed into a jungle. We made leaves from shiny foil paper, lions heads, parrots from crete paper and the part i really enjoyed doing was making snake out of old tights, stuffing them with scrunched up paper and sticking shiny scales on them. The memories are blurry, but i have blocked out a lot of my past memories, i think its some kind of coping/defense mechanism. But as faded as they are, it's great there are people like that out there. So wherever you are Miss Dickerson, thanks, I have been tapping into my creative side in a major way ever since, if it wasn't for that I probably would of gone mad!

Tuesday was pancake day, but I don't have too much to say about that, it's not so fun flipping and eating pancakes on your own so I ended up binning them in the end, I think a lot of the fun and excitment is family involvement and laughter, not just a circle (though mine were amoeba shaped...) of batter with lemon and sugar on...

i made a jersey dress from some material I had been harbouring a couple years back and I never got around to wearing it until just over a week ago, God knows why, its so comfortable and looks pretty neat!

 

Im 6 months preggers, this hides this pretty well huh!?

I'm not the hugest fan of KISS or Paul Stanley at all but wanted an iconic face to have on the front. It was made of two pieces of fabric pain-stakingly hand sewn together (i heart my sewing machine now!) and ribbons of sequins, again hand sewn, into a lurverly face. I want to make a couple more, as they are easy to make, even more so now because of my uber super sewing machina! Plus are comfy to the max, though next time i may make some more 'fitted' ones the nip in the waist a smidgen.

I just noticed the people practising ballet on my TV....cringe!! a'ha!!
Oh, also spotted my sleeping beauty on the chair to the right...SQUEEEE!!

I have completed..... MY FUCKING PEAR SNARF!!!

I love love LOVE this so much, its so cute and I cant wait to wear it out! Lotsa cold English weather so theres much oppurtunity too! It came out better than I imagined given my very amatuer crocheting skeels but this rocks your socks off!

Close up!

I just got out the bath, red faced a-heee!!

 

NOM NOM NOM!!!

  I'm quite proud I have found something I enjoy doing and have stuck at. Due to the way my brain-ski works I do tend to wander from interest to interest from time to time. I find it rewarding and when im doing it, feel a sense of calm, which to me is very rare as I am the most fidgety person, like, evar!!!

 What do you think of my scarf and jersey dress??

There's some other things i was going to include but this posting is preeeetty long already and I have a snoring person on me so I must depart soon XD But I wont leave it long, maybe tomorrow....YARRRR!!!
