The wrong stitches...

AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH think that about covers my angst. I have just happily spent the last half an hour knitting the wrong stitches, oh joy! Now this either calls for 1. A knitting interlude or 2. More posh choc's. I  think number 2 could win.

The problem with the voluptuous Nigella teapot and other stories.

Sunday..... a lazy day to launch into the half term holiday nicely. There has been much tea drinking today, but a shocking revelation made me see that Cath Kidston and Nigella do not see eye to eye, sigh... this will just not do. Mainly due to the plump shape of the teapot!
In other news I have started to knit a small cardigan for my friends baby due in April, as I am fully aware of my drifting action from project to project I thought I had better start now. This has however resulted in more emergency tea and a few posh choc's to boot. This is as they say the life.

Yeeeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaaa


Nope I honestly have not gone all rodeo on you fellow blogger's, I guess I am just a little delirious after uploading images etc to my Etsy page. YUP you got it Pic & Blos is all systems go on the 'selling on the Internet front'.


I must just say a big thank you to Quinn who really gave me the extra push I had needed to go LIVE . After the comments on my last post it made me think!! Yes WHY am I spending my time selling my second hand goods on e-bay when I should upload the pics of my handmade goodies to Etsy. {So thanks soooooooo much and as a special treat Quinn if you read this drop me a line and we will talk turkey (te he). What I mean is I will make you a special knitted brooch all for you just to say thanks}

So go ahead everyone have a mooch around the lil shop and drop me a line, to say ha 'call that a shop' or maybe even a 'oh well done you managed it after all this time' sort of a comment. Either way I would certainly be chuffed to bits.

Ok so my lil shop is certainly in its infant years, heck this baby isn't even walking yet but I do hope to improve my picture taking, products and written word to fine tune this machine into a hum dinger!!

On that note I must be off to calm down before I try to catch those ZZZZZZZZ's

Night all.....Blossom X

Chookie egg lunches

It's been a fairly laid back Saturday morning here. Few chores done {check}, and time to stop for lunch. I am very sad and have been checking my phone like a crazed individual for updates on my eBay sales. Ooh I love making a few pennies.(my dear friend Elsie has however informed me its technically a swap if you rebuy items) ah what's a girl to do. X
