all play and no work

well since finishing the rose fairy's dress off have done no crafting apart from starting my cable sweater for my little madam, we spent thursday afternoon finger painting and decorated a box canvas for myuncle as he keeps bragging about his art he is collecting so we made him an abstract piece to go in his loo [ will add pics later]

friday was spent with my mum and auntie hunting down an unusual present for a 40 year old man so we headed off to our fair trade superstar and discovered many nice bits but the winner was a set of six small goblets made from white onyx from pakistan {these gorgeous things reminded me of a holiday to eygpt in 2005 where we vistid a little factory they are so beautiful}i also found a lovely vintage photocard of a burlequse dancer for his birthday card. http://www.fairlytrading.com they do a fab collection of sterling silver jewellery too.

We went to the always good value Wetherspoons for lunch where i had a gourmet burger mmmmmmm stilton sauce and beer battered onion rings apparently makes it gourmet but it was lovely.

i arrived home to a package from my sale catalouge so that threw the evenings outfit into disarray so i eneded up wearing my new anna scholz printed maxi dress and rose fairy looked gorgeous in her sundress.

Saturday was a lovely day we spent the day at my dads just sitting round chatting as the weather wasnt too good before heading off to my grandads where we all indulged in a nice kfc something quite funny in watching an 84 yr old man eating kfc chicken [ my nanan would be turning in her grave at us eating such common food] the fairy had lots of fun running round using my grandads various mobility aids much to her amusement and i reconnected with my nanans sewing box its still got my dads scout patches in it and her pin cushion and button box and all her crochet hooks in it i so hope im able to inherit just opening it made me feel 5 years old.

when we got home i sat and knitted a few rows of my cable sweater whilst catching up with goks fashion and the rest of hollyoaks.
