Virginia Pumpkinfest
Originally uploaded by cupcakedesigns

continuing the busy schedule sadly but got the time to have a wee stall at the Virginia Pumpkinfest in County Cavan a couple Saturdays ago. It was so cold cause it was in a marquee so practically OUTSIDE. oh dear. it was lovely meeting ppl so interested in my work though! looking forward to the Christmas Craft Fair on the 1st december in the Community Hall in Killygarry, near Cavan town. Come see me :O)

Its been such an eventful summer. I never got a job but was kept busy (a) running a café near our holiday home on the coast in Donegal, (b) having fun exploring with Sarah, Vicky and loads of other cool ppl, (c) boating, (d) making clothes, (e) setting Sarah up with Portugese barmen - more about that when I upload some photos of our holiday in Maaaaaadeira!!! I had a good, but somewhat confusing summer. The great love of my life still hasn't materalised/realised he loves me too. laters, xo

favourite song..

I am loving the White Stripes new album, Icky Thump. They rock :O) In other news, I am bumming around with no respectable summer job as yet. Going on hols to Rossnowlagh yet. Seem to have so little time to knit recently. It's quite depressing. I'm still working on the sleeves of Diane's bolero and am knitting a shrug for my American cousin Kayleen. I am set up a bebo homepage to deal with my everyday life at http://loflomilli.bebo.com if that interests you :O)

spun with rachel-marie's beautiful godzilla fiber batts. catch them while you can at http://knittydirtygirl.etsy.com
I am so proud of myself. It was spun entirely on my drop spindle. I am not entirely sure how to set the twist yet but I'm sure someone will inform me soon :O)
I'm off to Rossnowlagh, Co. Donegal for a couple of days (no internet :O( - aaaaaaaaagh) so hopefully I'll get some more spun then. What a beautiful day it was today.
Now it is too late to even think any more so must go to sleep.
