Everyone seems to be going a bit barmy about bows recently - the coveted, wish wish wish and of course, I can’t speak of bows without mentioning flying saucer. Though I am rather partial to the bow (I should show you the massive bow clip I found a few months ago in my house) as […]

For anyone who read my last wittering (post) and are interested in the Birmingham (England) Stitch n Bitch, I found the yahoo group (which I am currently attempting to join). The group has been going for approximately 3 years. Originally, they met at the library, but for some reason (of which I’m not sure) […]
I probably complain about school far too often on here (I am working on it). In all honesty, it not that bad, but on occasion, like today, I just have to poke fun because it really is beyond the point of ridiculous.
Knitting - no longer the sedate art it was?

Other than tasty home-cooked Indian food everyday, the other benefit of being Asian is access to my grandma’s unwanted saris (there are of course other perks, but we’ll stick to those for now).
Unwanted saris from the grandmother
Basically, a sari is just a really long length of material which is wrapped in a certain way […]
handmade: “pearl & chain necklace”
A somewhat overdue post this one. I made this necklace almost 2 weeks ago at my Saturday art/craft class. I’m pretty happy with it, despite my mother moaning about the double bead segment in the centre (she claims it makes it uneven - though if it’s only me wearing […]
Maybe I’m coming to the end of my current blogging burst as yet again I’ve not posted for a couple of days. I guess I’ve just been trying to get a bit of space from the computer lately and work on things in the real world. Anyhoo that is neither here nor there. Yesterday (Saturday) […]
Bottle cap pins (badges, brooches, buttons… whatever you call them) are something I’ve been wanting to make for quite a while now. I’ve not actually got round to it before, because I’ve never bothered to keep bottle caps. However, I thought that, with this particular holiday (Christmas & new year), there would be an […]
My knitting skills are not what you would call advanced. Mostly because after I’d re-learnt to knit (purl, cast off/on etc) I made very few items, therefore I could not improve. The crochet skills are on a similar line but that’s more to do with learning that recently than not practicing. Nonetheless, in my recent […]
Having bought an iPod a couple of years ago, I can hardly say I have used it much. In the beginning, I went through fazes of using it and then discarding it - music on the move didn’t seem to suit me. This was mostly because of my irritation with constantly having to put the […]
(Post moved from fashion dummy, written in july 2007. I wanted to keep it as a record on here)
Yesterday, was my dreaded school prom. I’ve never wanted to go to it, but I bought a ticket anyway. I’d always said “I’m going to make my dress”. Why? Because I’m a cheapskate and I didn’t want […]
