Wheeee, it's time for Italy! Poland was gorgeous, I'll write about it properly one day (I have insanely detailed notes in my diary, managed to keep it up for the four days we were there, so I'll see how I get on on this trip!)
Today I have driven down the M25, forgotten quite a lot of stuff, re-packed, dragged Hannah round town to do all the stuff I hadn't done before due to being disgustingly ill on Friday & Saturday, got a Santander person to explain confusing charges to me, reluctantly paid said charges, panicked about my engine management light, realised there's no need to panic until & unless it actually comes on, got very excited on Naomi's behalf because she got the job, faffed and chatted a lot, eaten chocolate and am now curled up on the sofa very much debating bed!
Only I can't go to bed till Hannah's finished packing, lol! Hopefully tomorrow will pass without incident, but I'm waiting to see what British Airways say about their strikes etc... is all rather infuriating when there are so many people out there without a job at all. Sigh.
Craft-wise, I'm inspired but not actually able to make very much at the moment, my jewellery and card-making materials & tools have all been packed away into two enormous boxes at the end of my bed. In theory I can get them out whenever, but in practice I think I'll be lucky to have them out at all except to finish the musical notes commission, and then I think it'll all have to wait until I've moved in with Jules.
Thinking of doing an existing jewellery post with the stories behind some of the jewellery I wear on a daily basis over on Ducking Fabulous, and maybe interviewing one or two of my friends about their favourite pieces too. It's always nice to see and hear about people's influences and likes and dislikes, and often special pieces of jewellery have stories behind them, where they came from, what they mean, what their sentimental value is to the wearer.
Latest obsession is crochet, the lovely Naomi taught me on Friday lunchtime and I love it so much that I'm taking a ball of cotton, a crochet needle and a book (called the Happy Hooker - brilliant!!) to Italy with me, for any quiet moments. It's the first time ever that I haven't taken a fiction book away with me, this time only the Happy Hooker and two rather lovely photography books are coming. (I haven't abandoned jewellery making, it's just these two are rather more practical in my current situation!)
Right, enough waffle for one day, I shall blog on my return from (hopefully sunny) Italy!
