Very Small Feet

When I went to see my friend Charl  to model for her  she gave me leaving present.  I didn't know I had one:)  I love it! Husband loves it! These guys are just too cute!  Thank babes x So she did say that it would have been super cool to have one of them in 3D.... Well... Here to please really... So Charlotte when are we meeting next so I can give you this dude?  But then again, if there is something being made another hand-made thing is coming too... Took me absolute forever to remember how to do this, but I think results it great! Must make some more... Would you buy them? I think I can take my Esty shopping into selling... 

And whatever hubby says there is always food in the fridge. Just have to make it! First I made a green soup few days back... Took some lovely broccoli  with some strange triangle like veg (also like broccoli) that I got in my weekly veg delivery form lovely people at  Riverford ! Great service by the way!  So I took an onion (also from my veg delivery), some garlic and sweated them together in our shiny pot, seasoned them too. Peeled and chopped a medium size potato and kept on stirring these guys in the pot, then added the green things:) Add the stock in. I simply used the chicken stock cube, simmer all these veggies till tatoes are soft. To make it extra nice I have blended it in our blender... oh it was not a margarita but still delicious!  I did not add any cream, butter or Stilton...it would have been nice, I am staying good... more or less:)  However hubby did bring some nice artisan bread with s...

Well this post will be about crafting mainly....  My work had a staff party on Monday, the theme was Casino Royal... hens boys dressed in suits and girls in pretty dresses.  I really did not feel like going to getting a new dress, besides what would be the odds to come in to the party and some one else has the same dress. I would have been mortified. So I thought I'd wear a suit. Hubby said "NO woman wear a dress!" friend Viera said "But you have so many beautiful vintage dresses"... Oh yes, I do have tons of unique vintage pieces obtained on ebay. But I don't fit in most of them... or so I though...  I got this lilac beauty by accident.. well it's ebay it happens! But I could never zip it up. And for 2 years it just stayed in the wardrobe... The belt and hem need fixing and I just need an occasion to wear it to!  But for this even I needed something less romantic...  I bought an emerald green strapless dress... it was f...

Well we were supposed to have this week together but at the very last moment hubby's second week holiday been cancelled.... But we went to eat some lovely Japanese food in Ichiban... by the way it is one amazing Japanese restaurant on Cowbridge Road in Cardiff!  I had some dead cold delicious fish and we shared some sake... Mad! It was a lovely evening! Well and it was raining loads!! We had that awesome Sunday lunch together, then we saw Felix do that jump! Then we went to see super tall and funny man Greg Davies. Back of his mum's head was very funny, unless you are a bonsai tree (go see it, he is funny!!)!  I can say that he is my favorite comedian at the moment!  And all I want is the picture next to him... Him being all tall and me being... well super short!! It would be so funny! My friend Andrew actually met the guy and says he is super nice. We also tried to shop for a suit... luckily he went with other boys from wo...

I think it is a well deserved holiday! Especially considering that I had 9 days of work in a row with 3 split shifts... very draining! But hey I made most of my time... by doing as little as I can..  So the highlights were... My friend Charlotte needed models for her portfolio... Yes it is that serious!  So far she published these  It was a bit surreal... she did not like me pulling faces! It is so hard not to stick the toungue out to the camera. But she was truly great, told me lots of times that I'm doing great and how beautiful I was.. Oh you!!  So, Charl, I am so excited to see the rest of the pictures. We also drunk wine, talked tattoos, films and men!  Couple of days ago I was waiting for hubby to come home from work so... I did some cross stitching... because of the size of this reindeer my hands were hurting so much...  But it is super cute... and a start of Christmas project.....

Well my next race is not until November... it will be the amazing dash in the tash!:) Note to self get the tash, or come up with awesome drawing of some! I'm very excited! Especially since hubby is doing it too... fingers crossed he will get the running bug.. But today I went to see what Survival of the Fittest is all about...  Also had a look at  men's health link On the way to the bay I came across this sing... well damn right runners! It was over 3000 people doing it today! How amazing! The Bay looked super busy! People everywhere, music, runners.... it was like a sea of orange. The official Tees are orange.  So I found the finish line with the Wall of Fame  This is almost the final obstacle. The last one is the wet one:) with photographers on the other end. The relive  on runners (or shall I say survivors) faces is unreal. Don't think some of them believed they would make it this far. I saw a man dancin...

When I was little mum use to knit a lot of my clothes, I was head to toe in knitted goodies. People even used to joke that she knitted me too... Later she decided that knitting was boring and stopped... now she's crocheting like crazy. She made us a beautiful blanket to cover the bed... the only problem with it is the bright yellow colour... I never liked knitting, takes too long and looks so complicated, however I always wanted to learn... So I choose easier way of making something from yarn... crocheting! Last time I was off I made this blanket for us Hubby has some reservations against it... looks too much like a "Granny". Well yeah, it's a giant granny square! And it couldn't be easier to make!  This pattern is stolen  from here  but mother taught me how!  And now I finally finished the baby boy blanket... it took me so long to make, but it was so easy in the end when I got into my crocheting zone... I actually need to be in...

Well more and more of my friends are getting married and having babies... And yet, the only wedding I have been was my own. That's understandable since I'm always somewhere else...   So here we go... Me and Katerina went to the same school, she was a year below me. Last time we met we were in the airport waiting for our connecting flights, she was going to Paris with her mother and sister I was going home to Wales. We chatted like old friends for 2-3 hours, yet we never been really close, I guess we just fell in friend's love for each other. And we stayed in touch. Later she announce that her boyfriend proposed ..   Winter wedding, everything is white and snowy! Pretty!  Now they have a baby girl Sonya, she looks just like her dad with gorgeous red hair! Now that's a young lady I'm hoping to meet next time I'm in Russia. Out of nowhere the news that my old friend from school Tanya changed her name and her...
