Another really busy and not-much-fun week at work. Thursday was only bearable because these shoes arrived in the post and I was able to put them on straight away!
For the rest of the day I just had to catch a glimpse of my new blue shoes and I felt happy, so they have become my “Blue Shoes Of Happiness” like the book by Alexander McCall Smith. The wonderful Cherry Tree Hill Supersock Merino yarn stuffed inside them in the photo, came on Friday from The Woolly Workshop. It’s the Wild Cherry shade which I chose to match a skirt I bought at the start of April and it goes beautifully. I can’t wait to knit my second Demeter with it.
Look at my sunflowers!
They’re really shot up because of all the sunshine we had last week. Unfortunately number 4 (just out of shot on the right) isn’t doing so well and I’m afraid he may not go the distance. ;o(
My friends came back from holiday yesterday so my house/cat sitting finished but I had a lovely two weeks in their house and really enjoyed looking after Coleman the ginger cat. It was really nice and quiet – a real tonic after the crappy weeks I had at work. As a thank you Nic and David bought me the most wonderful bag, which I LOVE. It’s so nice and apart from looking great it has a nice practical strap and lots of pockets to keep keys and things separate so you don’t have to root about in the bottom of the bag under all your other stuff to find them. See how lovely it is?
It says “unusual, offbeat and cute as a button” on the pocket which I totally agree with. It’s a Bobbypin bag by Jeffrey Fulvinari who is the guy who illustrated The English Roses by Madonna.

[...] I’ve not knitted a great deal this week as the weather has been ridiculously hot for the UK. But I have made myself a long necklace, bracelet and earrings from some green chinese beads I bought in London at The Bead Shop on Tower Street. I was given some gift vouchers for the local bead shop so I bought extra beads, charms and the chain to make the jewellry with my voucher. I had some credit on the voucher left over so today I bought these wonderful blue beads which I plan to make into a long necklace to match my blue shoes of happiness. [...]
