an eventful month

I am a crap blogger - its official! I am a full time student though so that kinda shoves important things (like photography and knitting) to the side. Right now its 3pm here and I haven't had lunch yet (hungry!) and I have an assignment to hand in tomorrow. But its only an 800 word assignment so I can spend a few mins with this poor blogspot of mine.

Enough about that. I have lots of new photos up on my flickr site - go and have a look.. http://flickr.com/photos/cupcakedesigns

My favourites are below:
firstly some hellebores from my mummy's garden..

My sister Helen and I went to Rossnowlagh on Saturday (my second home) I love it so much and you can see why from the above photos! Next on the to-do list: learn how to kite surf. Great for the tummy muscles by the look of it!!

I've also uploaded some new hats onto my etsy site. (http://cupcakedesigns.etsy.com) One in blackberry stitch (in my own handdyed wool - all the rest of the skeins in that batch turned out a perfect magenta (like they were meant to) but this sweetie turned out cranberry!!)

and another one in a golden ochre that I dyed on the stove top just before Christmas. I paired it with a colinette pierro handspun point five. I also used a few wee pieces of my own felt to rustle up a pretty brooch. fun times. Not much else happened on the knitting front though. I'm working with some cotton tape for summer although I think I'll just concentrate on winter stock and then really push to get this business off the ground at the end of the summer.

Not much else to report. Lucky is pregnant (I have NEVER seen her so big,) loflo is still anorexic. One of the Scottie dogs has had some Kern/Scottie pups. They look pretty cute but we haven't really ever bonded and she looks a tiny bit evil.

Until next time, xo
