Today I joined Ravelry.com... how have I lived without it this long?! My ongoing 'gypsy' blanket has gone into my project notebook on there, and I'm hoping I'll trip over some friends there, I know of at least two people that use it :)
In other news, the wind is insane... I don't ever remember it being this strong, I don't think! Hoping poor Poppy survives the night, I don't think the soft top will stand up to a tree falling on her :|
Having a bit of a rough week so have retreated to bed with a happy playlist on Spotify, some knitting (to practice for the squares I'm doing for Nikki's baby blanket), a book about greyhounds and a bottle of wine... good times :)

beginning-of-the-month things I love :)
• The Paperie online stationery shop: quite literally, heaven on a webpage;
• My bargain towels from Anthropologie (well, actually from TK Maxx, which I also adore, but they’re made by Anthropologie…)
• MR2 ROC's immense helpfulness when my tyres unexpectedly made me lose control of the car last weekend… a girl couldn’t possibly wish for a more helpful bunch of blokes;
• Kat Williams’ RockN’Roll Bride blog – I’m a complete addict, it’s inspiring on many levels (as a blogger, as a photographer, as a jeweller) and it’s just a wonderful way of spending time;
• My dremel, even if it does mean sanding my own fingers from time to time. I bought it mostly for its sanding properties but it’s enabled me to drill dominoes and Scrabble tiles to make necklaces, which will hopefully sell as well at my fairs this month as they have done at work and among friends;
• Galaxy hot chocolate from Slice, the café across from work – it’s like drinking proper melted chocolate and it’s the best pick-me-up on a cold or stressful day
• SMINT spearmint mints, everyone on the enquiry desk is addicted to them, but the ones we like the most only seem to be sold in Asda;
• Towers of Midnight by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson – it’s finally here, I finally have my grubby little mitts on it… and so far, it’s wonderful! I’m not the only mad person out there, I know at least one friend who bought it and took the afternoon off to start reading it. So there.
• Last but very definitely not least, the friends I’m so lucky to work with, who have been beyond wonderful this week, I’ve been a bit emotionally fragile and they’ve moved mountains* to accommodate my unexpected tearful moments. They’re always fabulous, but have been even more so in my time of crisis.
