A Stitch In TIme

Hello friends!


Sorry for the absence of posts these past few days but my internet at home is broken! BT are trying to fix it apparently but it has been down since Friday night and still not working!!! Life without the Internet is proving rather difficult as I can only use it while at work so I will now have to wait till Tuesday night to post again.  


Don't forget about the competition http://beautyllb.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/just-giving-it-away.html


On happier note I have acquired a new skill with the Internet being down, I took my Mum on an early Mother's Day treat to a craft fair at Olympia. This fair was for the public and was made of three floors one for needle work, another for paper craft and another for knitting/crochet. My Mum and I love craft work stuff so it was a fun day out also there was a lot of cross over with beauty and crafting. In the paper craft department I found several flat back gems and stickers that are great for nail art or enhancing eye make up. Here is a flat back pearl I stuck on my thumb nail with nail glue, I love Kawaii nails and I think this summer I may go a bit crazy with these pearls:

On the knitting floor I met the very talented Mim taught me how to knit!! Check out her blog http://crinolinerobot.blogspot.co.uk/ if you are into knitting or wanting to learn she also writes for SFX so worth checking out if your into films, books or games. She also has inspirational ideas on vintage fashion as well which I love! 

Getting Started

I am a Pro!

Here is my first attempt at knitting: I am super happy with it but I did drop some stitches (look at me using terminology!) and I got to keep the needles too (which I have now added some sparkle too..will post a picture when I get access to the internet again) ! 


I want to say thank you to Mim and everyone at Simply Knitting http://simplyknitting.themakingspot.com/ for introducing me to this new hobby and I am totally going to knit me a new make up bag!


Sorry this post is very beauty unrelated but I am having to post this while at work so I have limited access to my make up bag. 


Fingers crossed I get the Internet back up today and can post again soon, but to pass the time why not check out my past posts and enter the competition http://beautyllb.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/just-giving-it-away.html
