Legwarmers and hot chocolate

Hi all!

Firstly I want to share my excitement wit you involving the trip that my dad took me on last night. This trip was, of course, to Hobby Craft!

Oh yes! There was a half price sale on and in minutes my basket was full and my dad's wallet empty. He never treats me so it was really nice to go out with him and he offer to pay for all my very very pretty stuff.

I really loved the ribbons that I got for 50p-£1 a roll. I was so excited! Have already started work on a project and have so many ideas in my head that it might pop! :) I also got an assortment of fabric and wool felt both from hobby craft and from ebay and I got a lot of card making materials.

I particularly liked these 3D card decorations they had of dogs and cats. I lost my cat sadly a month ago. He spent his last few hours purring on my lap in between mews of pain. It was horrible and I miss him terribly so when I saw these decorations it made me think of him and made me smile, I just thought they were so cute, like my cat was.

I got lots of patterned fabric so should have a lot of fun. I've been sewing all day and need to give my fingers a rest in a while.

Man it was cold this morning! I was wearing my fox pjs and my white bootie slippers and was so cold that I put my leg warmers on. They're ochre coloured and go gourgeously with my ugg boots, my brown tights and brown mini skirt. So I've been wearing those and drinking hot chocolates as I worked at my desk all night.

I also found out today that my friend is pregnant! I was at her wedding, what feels like only yesterday. Now she's pregnant and the brother of a dear friend, a boy who used to go to school with me and my prenant friend is having a baby too!

What is it?! Is it the spring time friskiness that causes so many women to be pregnant? From the sounds of it that's when my friend conceived! **Sigh** Makes me wonder if I really am suppossed to do those things... NAH! I don't see it myself. I would be proud to be a middle aged spinster who cackles and is a bad influence to kids. Much like Fran from Black Books.

I want to get some photos up of my studio soon. But for now, off to bed. Sleep sleep... I hope! Whilst the storm continues raging just outside my door.
